In which class am I allowed to play?
- The Official IRF Racketlon World Ranking and the Official Swedish
Racketlon Ranking will both be used as guidelines to decide the
allocation of players onto the Elite, Class 1 and Amateur classes.
This means that a player that appears in a certain class in any
of the two rankings will not be allowed to take part in a lower
class but he will be allowed to challenge the players in a higher
class.
- Players that reached the semi-final of last year's Gothenburg
Open are forced to participate at the next higher level this year.
- To qualify for the Men's Beginner Class you need to fulfill both
of the following conditions: (A) Less than 1 point on each of the
rankings (World and Swedish). (B) Max "Club level" (Swe:
Korpspelare) standard in each of the 4 sports. This means that
if you have been a licensed player taking part in regional tournaments
in any of the 4 sports you will not be allowed to take part in the
Beginner Class.
- Tournament management reserves the right, however, to make exceptions
from these general rules.
Other Conditions of Play
- Please, show respect for our tight time schedule! Walk Over will
occur after only 5 minutes! Only 3 minutes break between sets +
3 minutes of warming up on court!
- Balls (including shuttlecocks) are included in the participation
fee.
- At the end of a group play, if players cannot be separated based
on the number of victories in the group, the result in the individual
match between them will decide. If this is not enough, points will
be counted - from the matches between the players involved (all
group matches must be played to the end). If this is not enough,
lots will be drawn.
Buffet
Our traditional Saturday evening buffet will this year take place
in a more flexible way, meaning that we will simply meet up at a
nice place in town without any advance commitments. Time and place
will be announced on Saturday.
Entry
Registration and Payment deadline is Sunday, 16 October.
All other information on how to enter, is available on the "Enter!"
page.
