Players are eliminated based on a draw from top 16, followed by top 8, semifinals, 3rd place and final battle. Qualification may anticipate.
Each battle lasts 3 minutes, while each player has 3 turns of a 30 seconds length. Drops do affect the performance, but do not stop the 30 second turns.
Battles are judged by the spectators, not by jury, therefore players should prefer to perform nice effective moves and combos that impress the audience. ADD system is not applied. Without a significant decision, extra turn will follow.
The event is played with big showbags.

Footbag rules for Routine and Battle:

For the events of Open Routine and Battle players will be required to use a specific size bag, so called show bags - 7cm diamater. On the picture you have diameters 4,5 cm, 6cm, 7cm. Because not everyone has this size we have made an agreement with Marco Hartig who can provide you with a discounted show bag just for 18 EUR +shipping instead of classic prize of 25 + shipping. This applies only to people who will be registered for the event. Registration soon, but dont hesitate and contact Marco right away. There will also be these show bags on site for you to borrow or buy. Game on!

Footbag, sport u nás známější pod názvem „hakisak“, se do ČR dostal v roce 1998 a od té doby si získal stovky příznivců, mezi kterými je i několik mistrů světa. Češi jsou v tomto sportu nejlepšími již více než deset let a kromě mistrovství světa pořádaného pravidelně každý rok od 1986, jsou TODEXON se svým 16. ročníkem, mezinárodní footbagové závody s nejdelší tradicí ve světě.

Tento rok se z klasického klubového zázemí přesouvá soutěž do více kulturního prostředí KC Nové Besedy v Klánovicích u Prahy, kde se divácký program odehraje v místním divadelním sále. Další velkou změnou oproti běžným footbagovým závodům bude nutnost velkých a dobře viditelných míčků, které mají soutěžící pro tento ročník nařízeny, aby byla zaručena dobrá viditelnost jejich výkonu. Do výčtu novinek je také určitě nutno uvést premiérovou disciplínu nazvanou „battle“, kde se utkají vždy dva hráči v přímém souboji, o kterém rozhodnou diváci svou reakcí a potleskem. Hlavní disciplínou však stále zůstává dvouminutová „routina“, kde hráči předvádí své sestavy do hudby a jsou hodnoceni panelem rozhodčích podobně j
