I'd put this in the news thread but since I'm not 100 percent sure and would rather err on the side of caution (though not on my blog, ha!):
Source:
The gist: Trial is 7/16 (Saturday). Actual show is 7/18 (Monday).

That's awesome that they are actually having trials, even if it is so close to the actual tournament. These dates would put the tournament as two weeks from Monday.
BTW, who is the person tweeting?

Thanks for finding this Ube, also thanks for making this thread, we both know you if posted it in the news thread it would immediately turn into a debate over if date was right and who could call various things first EDIT: This is the official Daisuke Miyazaki post.

He's an actor. Not a famous one though.

Also, the 18th is a national holiday (Umi no hi) in Japan.

If what I'm seeing is right, they only started contacting people for the trials from Friday at the earliest. They don't even have the exact number of who will participate down yet. They only extended the offers.
And I believe this situation has happened before where someone who we know is supposed to be going (usually Lee) doesn't hear something that others have heard. They still have time to contact him.

Very true. Which is why information atm seems a bit spotty. Cool let us know if you hear anything and vice versa.

Amazing...

Well it's not like they choose to be so close. They can only announce when they know it's all but locked.

Maybe it's just me(I have no clue about these kinds of things) but 18th July seems a bit too soon for the tournament to happen. It's less than two weeks away, so it doesn't seem right. If not all competitors know this, couldn't that mean that not everyone will show up (like Takeda and Akiyama last time)? Just a theory, not much logic.

As seen in 26, they will continue even when popular competitors can't make it. Only time I can (and most here) can remember a rescheduling was when Nagano got sick; then again, that caused a few people not to make it as well because of the date change (and thus got Mike Milner a spot on the show). True, he was the current champion at the time and they probably didn't want a repeat when Akiyama missed a tournament so soon after winning, but the point I'm trying to make is all M9/TBS can do is hope people don't have anything too significant.

They better inform Takeda ahead of time, because if he's not on Sasuke 27.. I'm... going to be extremely upset.

Date is pretty firm from what was posted on twitter... so we are just under 2 weeks from taping. Get your good luck messages out to whoever you want out now so they get it in time
