AffiliationNihon Ki-in

The Gosei (碁聖, literally Go sage) is a Go competition in Japan or a title of the competition's winner.[1]

Outline

Gosei is a Go competition used by the Japanese Nihon Ki-in and Kansai Ki-in. It is one of the seven big titles in Japan, although it pays much less than the top three. The payout is only 7,700,000 Yen ($67,000) compared to the Kisei's payout, which is a large 42,000,000 Yen ($386,000). Gosei uses the same format as the other big seven. The winner of the knockout tournament faces the title holder in a best of five match. There is one restriction that the other titles don't have, and that is to be able to enter the Gosei tournament, you must be at least 5 dan.

The promotion rules are just like the Judan's. If the player gets to challenge the title holder, they are promoted to 7 dan. If that player wins the title match, they are promoted to 8 dan. If they defend the title for another year, they are promoted to 9 dan.
