Each tournament is attended by 4 pairs consisting of two players.
Competing pairs play one meeting against each other in a round robin format on the principle of each against each other. Each of the pairs must play three meetings. The total number of all meetings in the tournament is 6 (six).
One meeting consists of one match. The match is played until one of the pairs wins in two sets. If each of the pairs wins one set, then an additional super tie-break is held to determine the winner of the meeting, which is played up to 10 points.
At the decision of the organizer(s), with a score of 9-9, the super tie-break can be held:
- up to a difference of two points
- up to a golden ball (i.e. the pair that wins the 19th point becomes the winner).
The set is played until a victory in 6 games with a difference of 2 games. Each game is played for from four minimum to seven maximum points (15-0, 15-15, 30-0, 30-15, 30-30, 40-0, 40-15, 40-30, 40-40, "Golden Point").
If the score is 6-6 in games in each of the two sets, a tie-break is called, which is played up to 7 points with a difference of two points (if the score is 6-6, they play up to a difference of two points).
