日本語 | 繁體中文 | English | 한국어 | Tiếng Việt

Once again, a strong tailwind has filled the sails of the Yokohama Open Organizing Committee.

We are delighted to announce that Linea Company, which has supported the billiards industry for many years, has joined the Committee as a sponsoring partner.
Following the exclusive Japan distributor of Zen Custom Cue and NAOLLY, they become our third official partner.

This support goes beyond sponsoring any one tournament; it is ongoing sponsorship of “the work of the Organizing Committee itself”.

About Linea Company

Linea Company has made a great contribution to the billiards world in Japan over many years.

Their work ranges widely, from sponsoring top professionals to supporting official events and tournaments of every kind.
Guided by the conviction of their president, Mr. Eda, “As many stages as possible where players can shine,” they continue to pour their passion into better conditions for competition and the growth of the industry.

They also make and sell leather goods. Long wallets, card cases, chalk cases and other pieces that any pool player would be glad to own are all hand-stitched and hand-dyed.

Support like this is what makes a tournament possible

Linea Company has worked for many years at the front line of the industry, running official events and sponsoring professional players.
That a company with such a professional eye has found something to share in our work gave us courage worth far more than funding alone.

To build a stage where players can shine, and to carry that heat to the spectators.
To make this cycle larger and more certain, our partners are indispensable.

Next stage: Wednesday, April 29 (national holiday), Yokohama BC Count9 Battle

Entries are open now!
What we are aiming for is to make pool not only a sport for those who play it, but a sport people enjoy watching.
We want to bring the appeal of the competition to more people, and to build tournaments that make anyone who comes to the venue think, “I’d like to come again.”
