GPBL 2022: Full Schedule

Bengaluru, August 5: Bandipur Tuskers mentored by former National champion and World Championship bronze medallist Jwala Gutta will face Mandya Bulls guided by Sai Praneeth in the opening match of the inaugural edition of the Grand Prix Badminton League (GPBL 2022) which kicks off next week on August 12 at the Karnataka Badminton Association (KBA).

The first match begins at 3 PM IST, while the second match will begin at 6 PM IST every day except the semifinal and finals.

The event which will see two matches being played on each of the days in the league stage will also feature Kodagu Tigers taking on Mangalore Sharks on the opening day.

“I believe that all the teams are evenly balanced with the team owners choosing the best available talent. It all depends on the performance of these players on that particular day,” said Prashanth Reddy, League Commissioner, GPBL.

The teams will be mentored by their respective superstars.

Malnad Falcons will be mentored by Chirag Shetty while Mysore Panthers will be guided by Satwik Rankireddy.

The Kodava Tigers will be guided by Ashwini Ponnappa while the Mandya Bulls will have the support of Sai Praneeth.

KGF Wolves will be mentored by HS Prannoy while the Mangalore Sharks will have Srikanth Kidambi as their ambassador and the Bengaluru Lions will be tutored by P V Sindhu.

Format & Rules

Unique format: The GPBL 2022 will be played in a round-robin format until the top four teams qualify for double elimination stage.

Each encounter will consist of five matches - men's singles, women's singles, mixed doubles, men's doubles and a 'Super Match’ format where players can tag in teammates into the match at intervals of seven points.

In this format, the match begins with two singles players for the first seven points, transforms into a doubles match for the next seven points and becomes triples for the last seven points. The first team to score 21 points wins the tie.

Each match would be best of three sets and 15 points (sudden death) except the Super Match which will be only one set.

Another feature is the 'golden point’ which would be worth two points. If the server wins the point after announcing it to the opponent before serving, he/she stands to gain two points.

In case the player loses the point, the opponent will get two points. The golden point has to be mandatorily used in every game by both the players and can be taken at any stage of the game.

A 'Trump Match’ to be decided by the respective teams will have to be announced before the beginning of any match in the tie. The team would receive two points for a win and get a negative point for losing.

Here are then the details of the GPBL 2022 such as league phase schedule, squads, players list, format, points system, live streaming, TV channel details and Ticket prices.
