      That countdown clock is a brilliant idea! No need to research time zones.

      The Pre-KS stream is up live. First post updated. The timer is now for the Railway Series - a 3on3 team tournament. This will likely be streamed Nisuteru Radio Ustream.

      Oops, wrong channel for the Railway Series. This time they had it done on VFR's channel - VFRTV. The latter half of the tournament is still playing. Sorry if I cause any confusion in the earlier posts.

      Edit: Links to the archived videos are provided in the original post.

      The Pre-KS in Fukuoka has ended and currently streaming is the post-tournament kumite. All the tournaments have been archived and links are provided in the first post. You can go to the Tournaments and Events forum section to get the final results from these tournaments (links also provided on first post).

      In the Pre-KS Fukuoka, there was some controversy or confusion during the Best 4 matches, but the the final match was very exciting. In the archived video, the Best 4 matches begin around 1:32:00. Good night!

      Just read a little bit on the confusion (I could still be wrong). So basically the Pre-KS tournaments are divided into 4 single elimination tournaments. The winners of those tournament ("Best 4") will have a round robin format tournament to determine the winner of the event.

      The confusion pertained to the situation that there was a 2-way tie for first place. The "original rule" was if there was a 2-way tie after the round robin tournament - The results between the two players during the round robin would determine the winner. However, during the event it was altered so that the "tied" players will play another game against each other to determine the winner.
