Since 2011, Pandanet decided to end the support of this competition and wanted to take care of the European Go Teams Championship.
The Pandanet Go European Cup consists of a series of events spread out across Europe.
These events fall into one of five levels (two carried over from the European Cup and three from the Tour).
Pandanet also provides prize money for the top three in each level 3 event.
Furthermore, an additional budget is provided to pay for European go professionals (or 7-dan amateurs) to teach at the event.
Major tournaments award 75 points (€450, ≈$606.87 USD), split up between the top ten players.
The last event of the Cup, the Pandanet Finals are held in Paris, France.
