The Grasshopper Cup 2025 prediction game is now open for registration. You can sign up here.

Two years ago the first rounds were best-of-3. I can't get any information about the format this year, but this tournament is now a Gold tournament, so I assume all rounds played best-of-5 sets.
In case I'm wrong I will convert all
- 3:0 predictions into 2:0 predictions,
- 3:1 predictions into 2:0 predictions,
- 3:2 predictions into 2:1 predictions.

Michał, tell Klaus, please:
The first three rounds will be played in the best of three format, whilst the semi-finals and finals will be best of five games.

Thanks, Michal. I changed the match format accordingly.

This was actually a message from Sergey. I was just a messenger here :)

The first round is down as best of 5, and then rounds 2 and 3 are best of 3. That's doesn't seem correct.

Yes, the first three rounds will be played in the best of three format.

If 3:2 is converted into 2:1 then
(3:2 into 2:1, 2:1) = 7 points - Ok

But then
(3:0 into 2:0, 2:0) should also be 7 points, not 6.

(3:0 into 2:0, 2:0) should be equal to (3:1 into 2:0, 2:0) but they are not.

And so on!
