Regular tournaments run roughly once a month. We give about a week to gather teams, and the organizer reserves the right to approve participation based on team rating, so the tournament stays balanced in level.

Why it takes 3–4 weeks

Here's where the timing comes from. We give a week (sometimes closer to 10 days) for teams to form — people want to see who else is joining before committing, and that takes time. Once the tournament starts, it usually takes a couple of days just to agree on the first matches and get courts booked. After that, we allow about 3 days per match: enough to avoid a packed, rushed schedule, leave room for weekends, and give anyone who gets sick 3–4 days to recover without throwing things off. Across 5 matches that alone adds up to roughly 15 days. Add some buffer for force-majeure situations, and that's how a relaxed-pace tournament ends up taking 3–4 weeks in total.

The entry fee covers a few things: balls for the tournament, the prize pool for the winners, and the organizer's operating costs — basically, what compensates the time spent running everything.

The size of the prize pool depends on the number of teams and the entry fee itself. It's typically split between 1st and 2nd place. When there's a sponsor involved, there can be extra prizes too — coupons or promo offers, either for specific participants or for everyone.

It's common for a player to compete in more than one tournament at the same time, as long as the combined team rating fits each league's level. For example, the same player might play in the Gold league with a weaker partner, while also playing in Platinum with a stronger one — the pair's average rating is what matters. Strong, active players often add a Mix tournament on top. This is normal practice elsewhere, and it works the same way here.

How we guarantee similar playing time regardless of how many teams sign up.

The rating system is currently being tested while we fine-tune its coefficients. To avoid conflicts and frustration over numbers that are still being adjusted, the calculation behind it is hidden for now. It will become available to all participants later, along with match and tournament history.
