1.2 Player Classification

 

  • Players must register at the appropriate skill level based on previous tournament performance (e.g., Goslings, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Stockholm etc), with 200+ participants.

  • Doubles will be required to play in the category of the higher level player. 
     

  • Medalist Level Rules:

  • Previous Gold winners must move up to the next category in this tournament.

  • Medal Winners: Three medals 1st to 3rd at any LGBT tournament over the last 5 years must move up to the next category in this tournament.
