Hello all,

This year Japan Open will have the largest field ever! I have more than 20 players who decided to come from outside of Japan. So The championship field will be filled up with 64 players and it could be much more.

The championship field include big names such as

Falafel
Matt Cohn-Geier
Jake Jacobs
Carter Mattig
Stepan Nuniyats
Carol Joy Cole
Arda Fındıkoğlu
Sabri Büyüksoy
Martin Barkwill
Robin Swaffield
Tobias Hellweg
Ricardo Malas

...not to mention Japanese own super stars like Michihito Kageyama, Takumitsu Suzuki and bunch of other young stars who are not yet be in the final of Monte Carlo! I am very excited to have those names in my tournament and thank all who decided to come.

The tournament venue is located in central of Tokyo, called Shibuya Area, where you can enjoy shopping, eating, touring and so on.

Entry fee is 50,000yen for the championship which is approximately $600 or 500euro. Super Jackpot will be 100,000yen with 16 players. The length of the match will be minimum 15 point match. All clocked (2.5min + 12 sec delay). It should be enjoyable for those who likes serious competition.

Come to Japan Open and experience our culture and play some backgammon!
