45th All Japan Championship underway in Hyogo

Always one of the last major ranking events of the year, after several days of preliminary qualifying, the main event field of 128 players that enter the main stage of the Japan Open has been determined.

Each entrant to this double elimination, race-to-9 round has paid $440 to compete in this, the 45th annual 10 ball event in Japan, and Europe's early risers are in for a treat with free live video being streamed direct from the venue. As the field narrows to the Last 64, the event becomes a cut-throat single elimination race-to-11 format and with a $100,000 prize fund, you can be sure of some tense action.

European nations are well represented at this event, and it's refreshing to see it in this day and age, but at this tournament all players are required to wear shirts and waistcoats - it's nice to see a touch of class coming from the Japanese organisers.

One interesting and useful thing to note when viewing the group brackets is that in Japan - the winners go to the left side of the draw table.
