The selection will be done based on EGD ranking.

The timing is extremely short, we are very sorry for this but have to do with it. So please-please-please convey the message as soon as possible to your members.

For information, last year, our European participants were kyu to 6d players. It is recommended to be 5d+ to have a chance to win, though.

More specifically, the playing site will be the splendid university of Durham, and many activities are planned to make the tournament not only a go challenge qualifying for the World student go OZA championship in Japan, but also a walk in history, full of discoveries and social moments.

You can already read more and register on the website: https://durhamgo.club/esgc2025/
3 players will be able to qualify for the international student championship in Japan.

One month to go before the 2025 European Student Go Championship!

If you're wanting cheaper accommodation for the tournament, we've arranged a group booking for entrants:
- 2 nights (Friday and Saturday)
- £75 per person
- 3 people per shared room (3 beds)

If you would like to take advantage of this, please let me know in the next couple of weeks - these places will not be available if you don't let us know in advance!

Things to note:
- £75 per person assumes we get 3 people per room - there's a risk that this might increase if we don't get enough interest and some beds aren't taken.
- We will not be organising any other accommodation options, so if you aren't wanting a shared room you will need to organise your own place to stay! There are some places you can try at https://durhamgo.club/esgc2025/#accommodation
