CCTV Cup
The CCTV Cup is a fast game tournament in China sponsored by the state television CCTV. It is played continuously since 1989 and is a qualifier for the Asian TV Cup with the title holder and the runner up being qualified.
There were television tournaments earlier, but since the establishment of the Asian TV Cup the CCTV is played regularly. Prize money and time limits changed during the years.
Time control: thirty seconds for the first move, then ten periods of 60-second byo-yomi.
From 2012 the tournament again changed his name to Zhōngxìn Yínháng Bēi (China CITIC Bank Cup). The prize money raised to 200,000 and 100,000 Yuan for the winner and the runner-up

Comments:
- This may need validation, the Ma Xiaochun page writes Ma won the 1st and 2nd etc. CCTV Cups, not 1st and 3rd as is written here.
- Valerio: Qian won 2nd edition on 1990-06-11; Ma lost to Liu Xiaoguang in semifinal. Kifu in my hands confirm these results. Source is on Kido Yearbook 1991, pag. 330. In fact, both Qian and Liu participated to 1990 Asian TV Cup. Confirmation, instead, was needed for the results of the 13rd edition (Hu Yaoyu won).
axd: maybe this may help: http://www.msoworld.com/mindzine/news/orient/go/china/_cctvsub.html
- axd: is there a web page that lists the schedule of play/broadcast? Would it be possible to update this page when a new tournament is scheduled? I assume it is broadcast on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CCTV-5
