In April , following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami , the round set to take place in Yokohama was postponed by the ITU . The ITU felt that it would be too risky to try to stage the round there when the nuclear level was near maximum . In May , it was announced that the Yokohama round would be rescheduled for September and would take place on September 18 and 19 . However , as it takes place after the Grand Final , the points and money gained in Yokohama would go towards the 2012 series
