Pandanet Go European Team Championship 2025/2026

Pandanet Logo

This is the 16th season of a team competition played online on Pandanet (IGS) in its own room called "EuropeanTeamChamp". Pandanet kindly sponsor the League, and the top four teams in the top division attend over-the-board finals at the European Go Congress.

The UK team is captained by Bruno Poltronieri. Matches are four players a side, made up of available players from the registered team. The Championship is split into four leagues, originally by average rating of the best team members, but with promotion/demotion from the previous year. The UK remains in the B League. Games are played every three or four weeks (with breaks for Christmas and Easter).
