The CCTV Cup is a Chinese Go competition.
The CCTV Cup is the longest running fast game tournament in China and the sponsor is the Chinese CCTV station. The winner and the runner-up qualify for the Asian TV Cup, where they compete against the winners and runners-up of the Japanese NHK Cup and the South Korean KBS Cup.
Each player has 1 hour of main time with one 60-second byoyomi period.[1] The time control was changed in 2021 to be much slower than the previous time limit, which was one move every 30 seconds.[2]
The winner's prize is 350,000 RMB (as of 2024).[3] Formerly, the winner's prize was 250,000 RMB in 2019,[4] increased to 300,000 RMB in 2020,[2] and further increased to the current 350,000 RMB for the 2023–24 cup.[3]
