:::::::A Drops B Drops C::::
**************This tournament is one of our ongoing efforts to introduce and promote a new tournament format designed to foster fairness, integrity, and competitiveness. In this format, we begin with one large draw for Singles (Men's and Women's combined) and one large draw for Doubles (which includes Men’s Doubles, Women’s Doubles, and Mixed Doubles).
Given the expected participant size of up to 32 teams for Single Event and 64 teams for Doubles, the initial round plays a crucial role in the structure. Winners of the first round in either Singles or Doubles will advance to the “A” draw. First-round losers will move into a separate “B” draw, which is treated as a fresh bracket. From there, the winners remain in the B level, while first-round losers in the B draw will proceed to the “C” draw.
Additionally, in the A draw, those who lose in the quarterfinals will feed into the B draw semifinals. This will effectively make the B draw semifinals function as the B quarterfinals, enriching the competition and ensuring proper placement based on performance.
This system was created to address and discourage sandbagging—where higher-level players enter lower divisions (e.g., B-level players competing in C or even D)—a practice that undermines the tournament’s fairness and discourages honest participation.
Through this format, we aim to provide a more balanced and competitive environment by starting everyone in a unified draw and allowing skill-based progression. We’ve seen positive outcomes using this format and are confident it will enhance the experience for all participants.**********************************
