. In Jan and Feb, Osaka is holding Osaka Regional qualifiers.

During that time Chubu area, Hiroshima area and Kanto area do the same.
We will get finalists from each area (for a total of 12 players).
The finals will be on Sunday and Monday the 22nd/23rd of March (Monday is a public holiday). There will be 5 games.
Entry is 1500yen with 100% of the entry money going into prizes following prizes:
6500yen store voucher as a first prize.
3000second
2000third
1500fourth
1000fifth
1000sixth
500 seventh - twelfth

There will be 5 games on the finals weekend.
It will be 1500 point games.
We will be using the "Inch Okay" (インチOK!）System. It works as follows:
Every player at the start of the tourney chooses one of three options:
1. CM
2. Inches
3. dochidemo (either)

Then depending on the matchup, it will be decided which measuring system players will use. Baring in mind that since this is Japan, CM will be the default.
->
CM - CM = CM
CM - Inch = CM
CM - Dochidemo = CM
Dochidemo - Dochidemo = CM
Dochidemo - Inch = Inch
Inch - Inch = Inch

(Hope that makes sense!) Someone please make this Japanese for us.
Cheers,
Brindley
