763 entries have already been made

Four months before the registration deadline on 15 August 2026, 763 people have already registered and completed their registration by paying the entry fee. For a further 30 people, payment of the entry fee is still pending. Although the pace of registrations has, as expected, slowed significantly in recent weeks, it is anticipated that the final number of participants will be close to the maximum of 1,000 starters. So far, 35 countries are represented, covering all five continents. A quarter of the starters will be women, and it is already clear that a great many players will be taking part in a PPP event for the first time. Consequently, the Men’s III and Women’s III tournament classes will be particularly large.
