Bonus Tournaments 2018

The Bonus Point tournaments are a series of tournaments where strong amateurs and professionals with a European passport can win points to qualify for the Grand Slam tournaments! We plan to have in a Grand Prix Year up to 8 Bonus C tournaments, 4 to 6 Bonus B, 2 to 3 Bonus A and finally up to 4 Grand Slam tournaments each year.
