===Tournament format===
===Tournament format===
The tournament consists of 14 hanchan played by every participant, plus a 2 hanchan final played by the top 4. The first 8 [[hanchan]] are held in a standard cumulative score tournament format, with every player playing a total of 24 different opponents. After the initial 8 hanchan, the top 32 scorers advance to the playoff bracket. The remaining 88 continued to play another 6 cumulative score hanchan to decide their final placements in the 88-120 range.  These scores do not reset from the initial 8 hanchan.
{| class="wikitable" width="50%" align=right
 
In the playoffs, the players are seeded into tables of 4 based on their previous round performance. Progressing into the knockout brackets, previous scores aren't taken into account otherwise. Each table plays 2 hanchan together, and the two best players advance to the upper playoff group, while the bottom two fall to the lower group. This is repeated for the quarterfinals and semifinals. After the semifinals, players are ranked from 5 to 31 based on their semifinal round results. Placements are shared; for example, the two players ranked 21st are those who placed 3rd in the 17-24 group of the semifinal round. Those who placed 1st or 2nd in the uppermost semifinal group will play two final hanchan to decide their exact placement and the championship.

==Summary of results by country==
{| class="wikitable"
As there is no official rankings by country available, the table below is presenting the best, average, median and worst scores, as well as a composite score (the average of all four). Players placing equally with another player are ranked as a half-rank lower, in order to maintain statistical comparability. As an example, the best European player, John Duckworth, is counted as being at rank 5.5 and not 5.
