WPT / Australia

Source discrepancy: WPT’s Details page gives a 12:00 championship start, while its Schedule lists 12:30 for the September 24–26 flights. The earlier confirmed opening time is retained; later flight times are left unconfirmed. Check directly with The Star before attending. Current official pages agree on unlimited re-entry; the schedule lists 60-minute Day 1 levels.
This overview now covers the full September 10–30 festival. The Prime Championship runs September 17–22 and the Main Tour Championship September 24–30; this is expanded coverage of the same edition, not an announced reschedule.
