The Open Individual tournament was played the day before, September 19, 2026, at the same venue. The two are listed separately here because they use different formats and different entry fees. PRESENTED BY MZM Surveillance Services, in partnership with CityMall of Tagum, with NA Jan Mar B. Hondonero. Mafia 7 is the event's major sponsor. NOTES The 60-team cap shown on this page is the poster's limit of 60 TEAMS, not 60 individual players. The revised poster does not state a start time — 9:00 AM is assumed; please confirm with the organizer. This listing follows the organizer's revised poster, which raised the champion's prize from ₱8,000 to ₱10,000 and the 1st runner up from ₱4,000 to ₱6,000, raised both Top Board awards from ₱350 to ₱500, and added the Top Kiddies, Top Junior and Top Senior team awards. An earlier poster also advertised a chance for every player to win a pair of shoes (Sapatos ni Ross Kram); that is not repeated on the revised poster — confirm with the organizer whether it still applies.
