emeraldemon: sorting tournaments by prize (2009-05-07 19:23) [#6022]

I don't know if this would be good to add to the page, but I thought it would interesting to sort the tournaments by prize money. I converted the numbers on this page to dollars, here are all the tournaments that give at least $100,000, from most to least:

Cup - money (x $1000)

Kisei 425

Ing Cup 400

Meijin 374

Honinbo 323

Toyota Denso 303

LG Cup 199

Samsung Cup 159

NEC Cup 152

Fujitsu Cup 152

Chunlan Cup 150

Judan 147

Tengen 142

Oza 136

Agon-Kiriyama 101

Toyota Denso says it also gives a car, I'm not sure how to factor that in. It's pretty interesting to me that there are no Chinese or Korean Domestic tournaments on this list.

I would guess that the "luxury car" is probably worth more than ¥2,000,000 (roughly $20,000), but probably not more than ¥7,000,000 (roughly $70,000), putting it between the Honinbo and Meijin prizes.

This list is interesting, but may be hard to keep up to date with exchange rates?
