- A series of 12 tournaments (1x per month) with different point evaluations
- Single-elimination bracket system
- Seeding in the tournament done in accordance with our Elo system. A quarter of the players with the highest Elo will be seeded (i.e. they will not meet in the first 2 stages of the tournament). The rest of the players will be drawn randomly.
- Players have 14 days from the round's draw to play each match. In the event that all matches of one round are finished sooner, the next round will be drawn immediately after the last match has been played and a new period of 14 days will run from that moment. (For example, the Semifinals draw is planned on January 10, according to the schedule. However, the last Quarterfinal match gets to be played on January 5. This means that the Semifinals draw will also take place on January 5. The Finals will then be drawn on January 19, i.e. 14 days after the SF draw, assuming that all the SF matches aren't played sooner)
- For each stage of the tournament reached, the player earns points for the Tour ranking. Each city has its own ranking. The points are awarded as follows:
Category Winner Finals SF QF R16 R32 R64 R128 Yonex Tour 2000 2000 1200 720 360 180 90 50 30 Yonex Tour 1000 1000 600 360 180 90 50 30 10 Yonex Tour 500 500 300 180 90 50 30 10 0 Yonex Tour 250 250 150 90 50 30 10 0 0
What do we play for? - The winner of each tournament earns HuráLiga credits, which can be used to pay the entry fee for the next tournament or league or to purchase something in our e-shop (https://www.hobbyliga.de/eshop/).
