Regarding the domestic early entry slots for the 2024 Mölkky World Championship in Hakodate, we have reached the maximum number of applications immediately upon opening for entry, leading to the closure of sales.

Initially, we had planned to increase the general entry slots using cancelled slots from the domestic early entry. However, more cancellations than anticipated have occurred.
Considering the high number of cancellations, we have decided to provide additional participation opportunities for those who have registered as “JMA qualified players”. Therefore, we are promptly introducing an additional entry window specifically for teams meeting the criteria for domestic early entry, where the resale of cancelled slots will be conducted via a lottery system.
While we anticipate an additional capacity of around 25 teams at this time, we are simultaneously verifying whether teams that have already applied for domestic early entry meet the criteria. Based on the result of this process, the additional capacity may vary.

Details for this additional window are as follows:
【Additional Window】
Resale of Cancelled Slots from Domestic Early Entry (via Lottery)

For those who won the lottery and chose “payment at convenience store” on application, the payment procedure for the entry fee will be described in the email, so please complete the procedure by the deadline. Payment of the entry fee constitutes completion of the entry process.
For those who chose “credit card payment” on application, payment will be automatically processed, so no additional steps are required. (Emails from LivePocket may be sorted into the spam folder depending on your email settings. Please be aware of this.)
※3. Each team can only apply once.
※4. Members registered by the representative as part of the team cannot be duplicated in other teams. (The same representative or team members cannot apply multiple times.)
※5. Transferring winning slots is prohibited.
If the above precautions are not followed, or if any fraudulent action to increase the chances of winning is detected, the winning status of that team will be cancelled.
