Matches not being updated on brackets, once the match is over on live scoring it disappears and doesn't get updated on brackets

Thanks for all of that, spartan! Tried like heck to figure out where to find any of that, and had no luck and came on here this morning to ask if anyone knew where to find brackets, scoring and possible streaming. Then I saw this!

However, they are showing on the "results" link so at least we can see who won, or lost, but it would be more convenient to see it plugged in the bracket. Maybe that will change as it moves on.

So far all Americans have won 1st round. Remaining - Tyler up 3-0

Wonderful news. These top WPA events have absolute killer fields and a few of the most elite stars of the game will fail to reach the knockout stages.

Reaching the knockout stages is an accomplishment with a field as tough as this, so let's see if we can't get a few Americans into the knockout portion of the tournament.

All Americans women and men except 1(woman) won their first round. Oscar lost to Filler in 2nd round so far. Shane and Billy have to play next and Hunter drew ko.

So Jayson Shaw's first loss was to Anton Raga, the young (17 or 18) sensation from the Philippines. As far as I'm aware, this is his debut on the world stage. Could be wrong about that--I know a lot of the Filipinos who don't make it to the big ones still often get to the All Japan for example--but I'm taking this as the start of his international career, and I'm excited to him compete.

Also, does anyone know what happened with Jeff Ignacio? I was just watching a Batang Tirador video of him getting ready for the China Open, but I can't find him in the brackets anywhere. Could be me eyes though.

Whizkid Raga has shown so much promise for so long but has yet to make impact on world stage. Top 3 or top 5 money player in Philipines ? Has played few majors like W10B , W9B and not done well. But he may be ripe and ready now, no longer teenager now early 20s :D

Ignacio lost in gruelling qualifier stage.

100 players fight for 10 spots over 3 days. Race to 9
Have to win 5 or 6 matches straight to qualify for main event. No dead money.
