'''Note:''' <br /> | |||
† Japan's share of the quota distribution from the Top 32 shuffle is likely to shuffle back to the Rest of World first. | |||
Quotas can then shift from one region to another based on responses received by the WRC staff from various organizations and individuals. | |||
== Tournament format == | |||
Current information is that there will be some form of an elimination tournament. Details on cut lines are not available at this time. There are three big tournament days (October 5 to 7) and the final tables to be held on October 8. | |||
