To all the players taking part, and to everyone coming to watch: thank you, and we look forward to the day.
Our apologies regarding the bracket corrections
Due to human error, the bracket had to be corrected twice.
To the players, the fans, and all of our sponsors: we sincerely apologize for the great inconvenience and concern we have caused.
The qualifying bracket has many parts that are hard to read, and we apologize for the trouble.
From the next event on, we will improve it to a clearer format. We ask for your understanding.
Everyone on the organizing committee will work to win back your trust, and to run a tournament that is fair and that everyone can enjoy.

Timetable
We had originally planned to run on a fixed timetable, but we will instead start each match as soon as the previous one finishes.
In particular, races on the losers’ side are one rack shorter, so the qualifiers may move faster than expected.

Bingo event cancelled
For various reasons, we have decided to cancel the bingo event we had originally planned.
We are very sorry to everyone who was looking forward to it.
We checked with the relevant authority and were told there was no problem, but we have made this decision so as not to raise any doubt that it might conflict with the Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations. We ask for your understanding.
