Words cannot explain how excited we are about this. If you have more info on this event feel free to contact us and we'll add it to this tournament page

Held every two years, the World Cup tournament will differ slightly from previous games - In an attempt to add more excitement and make it more suitable for television coverage. These tweaks to the rules not only increase the pace but also help balance the game. e.g. Preventing dominant regus from winning too many points from service alone.

• Format will be changed to a best-of-five sets format where each set will be reduced to 15 points from the current 21.
• Teams will also serve for a maximum three points in a row
• 60-second technical time out per game

As you can see from our tournament listings this isn't the only event ISTAF has been hard at work on. We also have the ISTAF Super Series, from September 2011 to June 2012, comprising of six international tournaments and will offer a total prize of US$100,000
