The participating players can play in ten different qualifying tournaments, which are divided into two categories - World Tour and World Tour Platinum. In each tournament there is a singles and doubles competition for men and women as well as one for mixed doubles . Depending on the category and the placement achieved, points are distributed, with the players with the most points qualifying for the Grand Finals. A seat is reserved for one player or a double from the host country of the Grand Finals, if there is someone who meets the entry criteria.

Independently of this, seven tournaments of the Challenge Plus Series and six tournaments of the Challenge Series took place.
