What is the format of the British Tour?
1 minute

Tournament formats vary but a British Tour event will usually take place over a week. They often start with qualifying on Monday and the main draw taking place from Wednesday through to Saturday. 

However, some events won’t have qualifying and others will only be three-day tournaments – so please check the competition schedule and format before you enter. 

Draw sizes range from 28-32 and matches are played as best of three sets with a match tie-break in the decider.
