Swiss System

The tournament is played according to the Swiss system (Schoch). There is no preliminary classification of players. Instead players will be categorised after a few preliminary rounds where “everyone plays everyone”. Once the players have been categorised, they will play for medals. You can register as men’s, women’s or mixed doubles.

Shuttlecocks

Plastic and natural shuttlecocks will be provided. Before each match, the players can decide whether to play with plastic or natural feather shuttlecocks. The type of shuttlecock cannot be changed once the match has started. If no agreement is reached, plastic shuttlecocks will be used.

Catering and socializing

Water, fruit and snacks will be available (is included in the participation fee).
There is a water dispenser, please bring your own bottle. Additional drinks and food can be purchased at the sports field kiosk.
