Grand Smash prize money
13 events between 2022 to 2026 , with $100,000 to the champion at the richest of them. The four Grand Smash weeks are the richest events in the sport, and one of them pays more than a whole season of Feeders.
The tour is a ladder, and this is one rung of it. What separates the rungs is not the format or the field: it is the cheque, and the gap between one tier and the next is wider than the gap between winning and losing a final at either of them.

The Grand Smash against every other tier
What a champion takes at each rung of the tour
This is the fact that decides a table tennis career. Two players can win the same number of titles in the same year and finish the season with figures an order of magnitude apart, because one of them was winning them here and the other was winning them a rung or two down.
