European Grand Prix
The European Grand Prix (EGP) is a circuit consisting of the major European tournaments; the winner is determined by adding the number of EGP points scored in the player's tournaments.
EGP tournaments are held over 2 days. Traditionally on a Saturday and Sunday. They are usually played over 11 Rounds. 7 Rounds on the first day and 4 on the second. A best of three final and a one game 3rd/4th Playoff on the afternoon of the second day. (Note: Some countries play a best of three playoff as well.)
The EGP began in 1986 with the tournaments in Milan, Cambridge, Copenhagen and Paris. Brussels was added in 1991, and recently Amsterdam (2001), Stockholm (2003), Gdansk (2005), Barcelona (2006), Prague (2007), Berlin (2008) and Moss (2009) have been added to the list of host cities. In 2010 and 2011 the EGP cycle will consist out of 6 tournaments. All 12 organising countries will have their EGP in the one year or the other. The winner of the EGP is European Champion. 2011 EGP winner is Takuji Kashiwabara {FR}.
