Roundnet SM 2022
August 20-21st 2022, Finland, Tampere, Koivistonkylän kenttä, Nirvankatu 14
It’s time for the biggest ever tournament in Finland! This two-day tournament will be both Finnish Nationals (that’s what Roundnet SM means) AND a chance for players of all nationalities to earn the desired Spikeball Tour Series Premier status, which will be awarded for top 3 non-premier finishers (Men’s division only).
What is SAO and a premier status?
SAOs are Spikeball’s partner organizations and Roundnet Finland is one of them. Premier is a status that can be achieved only in Spikeball Tour Series stops or SAO’s Premier Qualifiers. The premier status is seen as a sign of supreme skill and competetiveness. Most Spikeball Tour Series tournaments have a Premier-division where you can only participate if you have the premier status.
Premier has been previously achievable only in the US but in 2022 it’s finally possible in Europe as well!
