Today we are publishing the bracket.
🏆 The bracket is here
👉 View the bracket
First, please check your name and your home pool hall. If anything needs correcting, please let us know.
📩 info@yokohama-billiards.com
*After the bracket was published, we found that, through an error on our side, part of the setting in the bracket system that spreads out players from the same pool hall was incorrect.
Although we had checked it many times, we sincerely apologize that this happened.
We are now correcting and updating the bracket.
Please check the latest version of the bracket again.
To Yumoto, Sai, Saito and Sato, the players affected by this correction: we are truly sorry for the inconvenience and trouble we have caused you.
We will continue to do everything we can to run a fair tournament.
Thank you for your understanding.
Please check your check-in time
In the bracket, the upper half (first 32 players) checks in at 9:00, and the lower half (last 32 players) checks in at 9:30.
Please be sure to confirm which block you are in, and give yourself plenty of time on the day.
Who is your first-round opponent?
The moment a bracket comes out, the first thing everyone looks for is their own name.
And the next, surely, is the name of the person they play first.
Maybe a face you know well.
Maybe a friend from your own pool hall.
Or maybe someone you’ve never met.
If you win, who are you likely to face next? And after that?
Spend the six days until the 29th looking over the bracket and letting the picture grow.
That time, too, is part of what makes this tournament worth playing.
The route you’ve drawn in your head: prove it with your cue on the day.
On the day, this same URL shows results in real time

About this system
As it happens, we built this bracket system ourselves.
At the last event, Yokohama Open 2026, we ran things with a combination of Google Slides and an outside service. This time we built it from scratch, fully embedded in our own site.
Real-time updates, linked display of the stream table: it was hard work, and it has made the system far easier to use.
If some parts are hard to read, please bear with us.
We made it simply in the hope of getting information to the players, and to everyone cheering them on, a little more smoothly.
Watching is free. Please come to the venue.
Some of you may have noticed when you looked at the bracket.
The name of a friend from your own pool hall.
That player you always seem to draw at your house tournament.
We’d love for you to come and cheer them on in person.
At the venue, the commentary of top pros Hijikata and Lo will be playing.
Cheering while listening to the commentary is more than just watching. It should be time that lifts your own picture of the game.
POOL LABO has a full range of alcoholic and soft drinks. As the tournament goes on, the spectator space opens up, and the exhibition match between Hijikata and Lo is waiting.
It will be a day a little different from any BC tournament so far.
To watch. To cheer. To enjoy.
We would be delighted to make this tournament something special together with all of you who love pool and feel the same way.
Come and enjoy it with us at the venue!
Watching is free, and walk-ins on the day are very welcome.
