The 30th Squash Masters Carnival is held!
The 30th Squash Masters Carnival will be held for three days from October 12th (Saturday) to October 14th (Monday/holiday), 2024. The venue will be Yokohama Squash Stadium SQ-CUBE.
The Masters Carnival is a tournament open to people over 30 years old. It consists of age group and open singles matches (12th and 13th), and trio matches (14th) in which trios compete against each other. As this is the 30th anniversary, it will be held for three days, and 122 people from all over the country have entered.
There were people making double and triple entries across categories, and the total number of participants was 189, the highest number of participants ever.
In the age category, contestants will compete by age and gender. Fierce battles take place in each age group.
The open category is a match filled with professional wrestling elements for both men and women, both professional and amateur, and this year marks the fifth time since it was adopted.
If you win at random, you can wear a champion wristband instead of a championship belt.
The previous winner was Yoshihiro Watanabe, who has won the All Japan Championship seven times. Will you be able to wear your champion wristband again this year?!
A popular match at the Squash Masters Carnival is the trios match. Teams of three will compete in a tournament to win the preliminary league and win the championship.
As for the composition of the team, only one player can be strong enough to participate in All Japan.
Each of the six combinations of three players can only be used once in each of the six matches from the preliminary round to the
championship, so the key is to decide which cards to use in which situations.
Since the year before last, we have made it possible to include people under the age of 30 as members. This is because we want young people to experience a fun squash event.
It has been selected as an Olympic sport in 2028.
We hope that the Masters Carnival will be a great success and will lead to the Olympics.
As a squash tournament, this year in particular is full of festive elements as it is the 30th anniversary. Please watch the game!!
