Thank you — we are fully booked, and a waiting list has formed.

We are now at full entry, with players on the waiting list.

All of us on the Organizing Committee are truly delighted that so many of you are taking part. Thank you.

If a cancellation occurs, we will first ask the person at the top of the waiting list whether they can play.
If they can, they move up into the draw.
If they decline, we will ask the next person in order, and repeat this until the spot is filled.

Please understand in advance that not everyone on the list will necessarily get in.

Preparations are well under way

A small glimpse behind the scenes.

The champion’s trophy has already arrived.
Arrangements are all in place, and a streaming test is scheduled for this week.

And the bracket you’ve been waiting for is set to be announced around April 23–24.
Just a little longer.

For this tournament, we are building a system that will let you follow match results on our website in close to real time on the day.
We want everyone — at the venue or watching on YouTube — to be able to follow the progress as it happens.

It may not be ready in time, but we will share details later.

Also, for this tournament, players will be divided into two groups by bracket block, checking in at 9:00 or at 9:30.
We will tell you which group you are in by email along with the bracket, so please be sure to check.

Watching is free. Please come to the venue.

Even if you are not playing, watching on the day is free.

Matches with commentary by pros Hijikata and Lo, and an exhibition match between the two of them — chances to watch all of this for free don’t come along often.

Come and cheer on the friends you usually play alongside, right there at the venue.

Nine days to the tournament.

Commentary by pros Hijikata and Lo.
An exhibition match.
A YouTube stream. And 64 players, playing for real.

Everything is falling into place.
All that’s left is for the day to arrive.

To everyone playing: take good care of yourselves, and get ready.
To everyone coming to watch: we hope you’re looking forward to it.

Let’s build the excitement together, all the way to the day!
