Where will the regional games take place?

Once the pairings are set, the teams agree between themselves on the date, time and venue of the game, giving priority to the sports hall of the team that has one available.

How are the Wild Card teams chosen?

The organisers choose two Wild Card teams from those that did not qualify for the final tournament as regional winners. They assess the teams’ activity and engagement on social media, Supercup-related content, the use of hashtags and tags of the Rīgas Zeļļi and Rimi Latvija accounts, and the teams’ creativity and activity in covering the tournament.
