This is a tentative seeding. Final seeding will be published on Monday 20th July.

Venue

The tournament venue

The tournament courts are located in the Tali Sports Park. See the map above for entrance instructions. There is a water point next to the lunch tent, but the only toilets are in the changing rooms, a 200 meters walk from the courts.

The address is: Purotie 8, 00380 Helsinki, Finland

If you arrive by car, there is a spacious parking lot right next to the venue. You need to install the ParkMan app to pay for the parking.

Schedule

If you can come early on Saturday to help setting up the courts and tents, that would be much appreciated. We will leave the courts and tents overnight – the tournament green is surrounded by fences – so this is only necessary for Saturday.

Bear this in mind when planning your schedule, as we’d like to have the courts set up by 8.30am. Thank you very much!

Preplay Friday

The preplay takes place on Friday 24th July from 2pm to 6pm at Savela Frisbee Park (note: not the tournament venue). We’ll set up around four courts to warm up for the weekend.

The address is: Lucina Hagmanin polku 2, 00710 Helsinki

Savela Frisbee Park map

Easiest way to get there is to ride a train to the Pukinmäki station, take the southern exit from the station, turn left after the ramp to the underpass, and then walk straight for 5 minutes. Tram 15 stops also nearby, there’s a 15 minute walk through the suburb of Pihlajisto, and the forest park of Rapakivenpuisto.

Matches will be streamed by Jonas / Studio Allround: www.youtube.com/@studioallround/live

Discs

Do you want to purchase additional DDC European Open DDC discs? We have them for sale at the registration desk, 10 euros per disc. Payment methods: Cash or MobilePay app.

Public Transport

We recommend using public transport (HSL) to reach the venue. Here’s a pre-filled journey planner link for checking travel times from wherever you’re staying.

Some practical notes:

  • Buy tickets in the HSL app or from ticket machines — you cannot buy tickets on board.
  • The venue and central Helsinki are both in zone AB. Helsinki Airport is in zone C, so buy an ABC ticket when arriving from or heading to the airport.
  • Single tickets are valid for 80–90 minutes depending on zones; day tickets are worth considering for the weekend.
