Citeva detalii despre noul sistem de promovare la Nihon Ki-in (probabil deja mai toata lumea stie ca se desfiinteaza Oteai-ul, adica partidele care aveau ca singur scop promovarea pe scara DAN), citez din Sensei's Library
( http://senseis.xmp.ne ):

"RIP the Oteai. It will be no more after April. Promotion will now be based on results in 12 top tournaments. Instant promotion, from any grade, to 9-dan for winning a world championship or top three title; 8-dan for challenging;
7-dan for getting to a league. Winning two minor titles (e.g.Oza, Judan) gets 9-dan; winning one gets 8-dan. Promotion also possible by winning a specified number of games at each grade, starting at 30 for 1- to 2-dan and up to 200 for 8- to 9-dan. It will thus be VERY hard to get to 9-dan in future, and the hope is that old pros who can't make high dans will retire and make way for young blood. But there will be no demotions so it will be a long while before the present top-heavy structure rights itself. There were already no game fees for the Oteai last year so this won't have any immediate impact on the Nihon Ki-in's finances, but the reason for the change is mainly economic.
