🌟 Who can join?

Everyone is welcome — whether you are playing your first tournament or already experienced 👍

Every tournament gives you the opportunity to collect valuable Grand Prix points and improve your position in the overall ranking.

🏆 Grand Prix Points

Your Grand Prix points are calculated based on your score and your final ranking:

• 🎯 Your score × 2
• ⭐ + 0.5 points for each finishing position from halfway up to 1st place
• 👑 + 2 additional points for the tournament winner

For an odd number of participants, the halfway point is rounded up.

The ranking bonus is cumulative. For example, with 10 players, the 1st-place player receives:

5 × 2 = 10 points
+ 2 points for winning the tournament
+ 2.5 points for finishing 1st
+ 2 points for finishing 2nd
+ 1.5 points for finishing 3rd
+ 1 point for finishing 4th
+ 0.5 points for finishing 5th

🏆 Total: 14.5 Grand Prix points

Grand Prix points collected throughout the school year determine the 20 players who qualify for the Grand Prix Final in June 2027.
