Multi-Tier Tournament Format (Only for Men’s and Women’s Doubles)
Stage 1: Group Stage (Round-Robin)
Players/teams are divided into groups and play each other once. Rankings are based on wins, with tiebreakers (games won, point difference, head-to-head).
Stage 2: Tiered Knockout Phase
After groups, players move into different knockout brackets (tiers) according to their rank:
- Gold Bracket – group winners (compete for main championship)
- Silver Bracket – group runners-up (consolation trophy)
- Bronze Bracket – lower group finishers (additional prizes/play)
Stage 3: Finals
Each tier bracket is played as a single-elimination tournament to determine winners in Gold, Silver and Bronze.
👉 This ensures all participants continue competing after groups, with meaningful prizes across tiers
