The last table tennis tournament of the year will be held at Pohjois-Hervanta School on Saturday, November 14. The tournament is open to everyone, and you don’t need a team to participate. Different skill levels!

In this tournament, we’ll be playing table volleyball. Matchups are determined by a table; we’ll play a short game, and players will be awarded points based on the final score: 3-0, 2-0, or 2-1. Then we’ll move on to the next matchup, play the next game, and so on. So, points are earned as a team, but as the teams change, each player accumulates their own individual point total.
Haven’t you been to Höntsy’s volleyball tournaments before? Wondering which division you’d like to join? Check out general info about the tournaments here.
The goal is always to have enough players to run two-tier tournaments. There’s usually some minor player movement between these tiers halfway through the tournament. It’s also possible that one or more preliminary groups will fall between these two tiers.
This tournament will also determine the final winners of the 2026 Grand Slam overall competitions—namely, “Spiker of the Year” and “Digger of the Year”!
When you register, you can submit a preferred level of play, but we cannot guarantee that it will be fulfilled. When placing players, we take into account not only their preferences but also our judgment, common sense, and the players’ previous tournament performance—as well as the principle of rotation when dealing with the boundaries between divisions.
The goal, of course, is for the games to be at an appropriate level for the players and as engaging as possible throughout the long day. After the preliminary rounds, roughly halfway through the tournament, players will be divided into finals at different skill levels. Everyone will advance regardless of their results—only the level of the finals is determined in the preliminary rounds. Plenty of games for everyone and a great tournament atmosphere, regardless of the results!
The tournament will be held at Pohjois-Hervanta School from approximately 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Note: The length of the court time slot must be finalized more than a week before the tournament—if a large number of registrations come in after that, not everyone will be able to participate. The sooner you register, the more certain you are to get a spot.
We aim to play all tournament games as 6 vs. 6. Depending on the number of players, we may also form 1–2 groups where games are played 5 vs. 5, and these groups may also be created during the day if someone has to leave a game early.
Ideally, each group will have 13 players, each of whom will sit out one period in turn (so there are no substitutes in a single match).
How much does it cost? With a monthly Höntsypass, the price is 20 euros; for others, the regular price is 27 euros and the discounted price (students, seniors, unemployed) is 22 euros.
Registration closes on Thursday, November 12. Registration is binding, meaning you agree to pay the entry fee even if you don’t show up, and to play the entire tournament. Cancellation is only possible due to a compelling reason. Cancellations due to compelling circumstances are free of charge if made by November 11; after that, a cancellation fee of 10 euros applies. If you no-show—that is, if you do not show up and do not notify us of your cancellation at all (not even on the morning of the event)—you will be charged double the tournament fee. This is because the tournament brackets are created in advance, and a no-show requires the entire process to be redone.
