Has there been a date set yet? I can't seem to find any information on it. Maybe not looking in the correct pace?:smile-us-down:

It doesn't seem to be on the WPA calendar yet. It has been in Doha, Qatar for the last 7 years, but the month has varied -- June, July, Aug., or Sept.
 
Just wondering if its open to anyone who wished to play if ya're not representing your country.
I know each country gets 2 allocated slots to proceed to bypass the qualifying stage without having to play qualifiers.

Im just thinking of a vacation or rather pool-cation to dubai and doha and if its possible , play the qualifiers and soaked up in the atmosphere of watching all the world best players go to battle.

Wld anyone have more knowlege on this subject chimed in please ?

Thanks

I don't believe the "2 allocated slots" is correct. The Stage 2 has a number of ways it is filled, both by spots for rankings, allocations to federations, numerous wild card spots given to the promoter/organizer, the defending champ, and also to the Stage 1 qualifiers.

For info check out their site for how they did it last year.

Note:
"Stage-1 Participants:

All the Players can send their entries only through their National Federations. Entries sent directly by the players shall not be entertained. The maximum number of entries for Stage-1 shall be 128 which shall be accepted on first-come-first basis."

So it looks like you need to get a sponsor at the BCA to send your credentials to the QBSF to get into a qualifier there, asap.
 
WPA probably moved it to China, like everything seems to going. The live gate is just as small; in China and Qatar, as it is in the U.S. Johnnyt

If they had it here in L.A. it would be standing room only!
