World Championship to start on Sunday

Two-time defending World Champion Sissy will start into another title defense when the 2025 World Championship kicks off on Sunday.

Riding a 14-game winning streak in games played under 3T rules, Sissy is heavily favoured to three-peat in the most prestigious tournament of the year.

In fact, after losing the 2025 World Masters to her froggy daughter, Nici, and the 2025 GP World Series to her husband, Harry, it is her last chance to win a “Major” trophy in this season.

Still, even if Sissy misses out on yet another trophy, she is more than likely to be named Player Of The Year again after the season. Thanks to winning five of six non-Major ranking tournaments, she only requires one more single-game win to clinch her third “Medal”.

Having won only one tournament this season, albeit a “Major”, Harry can win the “Medal” only if he becomes World Champion and his wife is shutout from the scoreboard. Nici, who has been struggling with her form since winning two tournaments of the Masters sub-season, is mathematically eliminated from “Medal” contention.

Sissy started her remarkable 3T winning streak by winning out the last six games of the 2024 World Championship before winning all three 3T games of the 2024 TripleAthlon and just recently shutting out her opponents in the 2025 Summer Championship and 2025 Holiday Championship.

While previous World Championships were played at a distance of “first-to-10”, this year’s edition will be played at “first-to-7” as the distances of all three “Majors” were shortened for this season. Accordingly, the maximum number of games possible is 19 and the new World Champion is scheduled to be crowned by 10 November at the latest.
