The eleventh MONOPOLY World Championship took place October 21-23, 2000 at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Yutaka Okada of Japan was the champion, over a field of players from 38 countries.[1] This marked Japan's second world champion, a feat only matched by the USA. The prize was $15,140, the amount of money then included in a set of Monopoly. Players ranged in age from 11 to 53.[2]
The opening round was limited to three 90-minute preliminary rounds held on Saturday, the 21st, and Sunday, the 22nd. The four top scorers from the opening round advanced to the untimed final on the morning of Monday, the 23rd.[3]
