Red Bull Shuttle Up Season 2 to start from today

New Delhi : Red Bull Shuttle Up -- India's first exclusive women's doubles tournament -- has returned for its second edition.

The qualifiers for the tournament will be held across five cities, Delhi, Hyderabad, Guwahati, Chandigarh and Bengaluru from October 19 to November 16.

Open exclusively for women above the age of 16, all matches are played on a knock out basis where all pairs play a best of three set with 11 points (rally points) instead of the traditional 21 points a set.

Each pair, with prior notification to the referee, can call for a super point once in a set. By calling for a super point, the pair will get two points if they win that particular point.

There will be no deduction of points if the pair loses that point. Players must be prepared to play five/six matches in a day during the event.

The winning pair of each qualifier will qualify for the national finals on December 8 in Hyderabad.
