turneringskretser

Turneringskretser are regional administrative units within a national sports or game federation, responsible for organizing and coordinating a circuit of tournaments within a defined geographical area. They operate under the national federation and serve as a link between local clubs and the central organization. Turneringskretser are typically run by elected volunteers or officials and rely on club participation for activities and governance.

The primary role of turneringskretser is to plan and manage a calendar of approved tournaments, ensure compliance with federation rules, and collect and report results to the national body. They may oversee the use of standard competition formats, rating procedures, and eligibility criteria, as well as provide guidance and resources to clubs and organizers. In many cases, kretsen also administers local titles or classifications and may organize regional championships or cup events.

Membership within a turneringskrets usually comprises local clubs and individual players registered through those clubs. Through participation, players gain access to circuit events, earn regional points or classifications, and, depending on the sport, qualify for higher-level national competitions. Results from krets events typically contribute to national rating lists and rankings.

Turneringskretser contribute to the development of the sport by promoting participation, supporting coach and referee education, and fostering collaboration among clubs. They provide a structured pathway for players to compete at increasing levels of difficulty while maintaining local accessibility and community involvement.
