Matches were played in a rapid best-of-three format, with each set consisting of a tie-break to five points. Six players participated, divided into two groups, usually identified as Red and Blue.

Music was played throughout the matches, and spectators were invited to engage through voting and audible support, contributing to the event’s informal presentation.^[22]

Nicolai Budkov Kjaer was the winner.
