There's a new tournament format to reduce travel. There will be 12 mini tournaments with 3 teams, played over a double round robin over a week. Therefore, every team will play every rival twice, as in previous years.

 

  • India will host New Zealand and Spain from October 28 to November 6.
  • Argentina will host Belgium and Germany on November 4-9.
  • Argentina will host Britain and Netherlands on December 3-18.
  • Australia will host Argentina and Spain from February 28 to March 5.

 

Germany and Spain will host no rounds. Australia and New Zealand will host one round each. The other five countries will host two rounds.

The whole point of this Pro League was to move away from the tournaments format and to provide regular home games helping growing a fan base in each country :nopompom:

I think the FIH overestimated the amount of money even the top nations have to spend on travel.

An additional problem besides traveling costs was that many windows clashed with decisive stages of european leagues which made many teams play some pro league games with B/C squads.  

 

If you check the schedule for this year it's all compressed in November-February (when many european leagues do a long winter stop) and then straight to June when all european leagues are over.

Likely, yes and also revenues they were expecting didn't happen. I don't think the competition will survive much longer.

    • North Korea is back to participating. I thought they may have withdrawn as they withdrew their women's hockey team
    • The Games are in China so I think the North Koreans will be taking part.
    • Speaking for myself, it is a bit daunting to think of nominations from nothing. Some kind of "long list" suggestion would be nice, but the work to come up with something like 30-50 options for each category would be quite onerous on the host/committee.
    • Before the last round only two teams are secured to play in round of 16: Liverpool and Barcelona   Already qualified at least at second round (playoff or R16): Arsenal, Aston Villa, Atalanta, Atleti, Bayern, Brest, Celtic, Dortmund, Feyenoord, Inter, Juventus, Leverkusen, Lille, Milan, Monaco, Real Madrid     There are nine teams with an elimination confirmed: Bologna, Crvena Zvezda, Girona, Leipzig, Salzburg, Slovan Bratislava, Sparta Praha, Sturm Graz, Young Boys   Last round next week
    • finishes their surprising bracket run with a bronze medal in men's ice hockey, despite only winning 1/4 group stage matches 
    • There were also a few other medal opportunities that ultimately didn't pan out for Bulgaria, but it was fun to see their athletes mixing it up for the medals
