Xinren Wang
New Faces (新人王 Xīnrén Wáng) tournament in China (literally 'King of the New People'). The final is a best-of-three match. In 2007 the age limit was changed from 30 to 20.
From 2007 to 2011, female players separately competed in another tournament Female Xinrenwang.
Time control: two hours of main time, followed by five periods of 60-second byo-yomi.
There was apparently (judging by the Go to Everyone! section) a hiatus between the 22nd edition (2015) and the 23rd (2019). Whereas beforehand the tournament had been hosted by the Shanhai Qiyuan, the revived event is hosted by Shanghai Jushen Sports Development.
