Additional Requirements

As active PRO PLAYERS represent the pinnacle of the professional roundnet scene in Europe, this status carries significant responsibility. To maintain the integrity and professional image of the sport, the following additional requirements apply.

​

Matching Jerseys

Professionalism starts with a unified appearance. All Pro players are required to wear matching team jerseys during sanctioned competition. This includes identical colors and designs to ensure teams are easily identifiable for fans, officials, and media coverage. High-quality athletic apparel reflects the elite nature of the Pro division.

​

No Team Names

In the Pro division, the focus remains on individual athlete identity and official rankings. Teams must compete under the last names of the players (e.g., Smith / Müller) rather than creative or informal "club" nicknames. This standardization aids in professional broadcasting, clearer bracket tracking, and helps build recognizable legacies for the athletes themselves.

​

Strict Sportsmanlike Conduct

Pro players are role models for the entire European community. We enforce a zero-tolerance policy regarding unsportsmanlike behavior. This includes showing absolute respect toward observers and opponents, adhering strictly to the self-officiating spirit of the game when required, and maintaining composure under pressure. Any conduct that brings the sport into disrepute may result in the immediate loss of Pro status.
