Dozens Enter Group-stage + Knockout Format at CNY Horsehhh Cup 2026

The CNY Horsehhh Cup 2026 took place at The Pickle Fun @ Batu Pahat across the weekend of Feb. 28–Mar. 1, 2026, with organisers running a group-stage + knockout format across multiple combined-DUPR categories (novice through stronger combined divisions), and dozens of teams entered, live. Event organisers listed Pickle Fun & Sunshine Rally Ventures alongside Sunshine Rally and named individuals Tan Yen Wei and Jovin Liew on the tournament page.

Competition was split across two main Combined DUPR brackets. Day 1, Saturday Feb 28, featured Mixed Doubles Combined DUPR 5.88 scheduled 11AM–6PM and Men’s Doubles Combined DUPR 5.88 scheduled 6PM–11PM. Day 2, Sunday Mar 1, carried Mixed Doubles Combined DUPR 7.28 from 12PM–5PM and Men’s Doubles Combined DUPR 7.28 from 5PM–10PM. The Sportssync Asia event page listed "Group Stage up till Quarter Finals" with Semi Finals & Finals noted thereafter, but the page did not publish a full match-by-match scoring breakdown in the captured excerpts.

The Pickle Fun venue runs nine courts and is listed at Tiang Lampu 19, Jln Kg Parit Lapis, Blk C Pld 19, Jln Kg Low Park, 83000 Batu Pahat, Johor, Malaysia. Tournament materials on the event page included Tournament Poster 1 and Tournament Poster 2 and festive branding strings "🧧CNY Horsehhh Cup 2026🧧" and "🧧 Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!" that framed the event as a Chinese New Year weekend competition.

Registration information on the Sportssync Asia page contained conflicting deadlines: one entry reads "Registration Deadline: February 26, 2026" while other locations on the same page state "All registrations must be completed by 25th February 2026" and "⏳ Registration Deadline: Feburary 25th 2026 (or until slots are full)". The page also carried eligibility and enforcement language: "To ensure fair game, all registrations are subject to the Tournament Director’s approval," "The name list will be announced one week prior to the tournament," and "Any player found to be manipulating DUPR ratings through social games will be immediately disqualified, and the registration fee will be non-refundable."

Promotional copy on the Sportssync page and the Original Report contained two different prize-pool figures. One line lists "Prize Pool: RM23,208.00 total value" while another headline on the same site advertises "🏆 Prize Pool: RM28,888+ in cash prizes." No per-category prize breakdown for Combined DUPR 5.88 or 7.28 was published in the excerpts reviewed.

Sportssync’s tournament page provided the schedule blocks, venue details and organiser names but did not publish match results, winners or a final entry count; the Original Report’s phrase "dozens of teams entered, live" appears to signal live brackets or live coverage was active, though no live-stream link or bracket host was printed in the captured material. The weekend left Batu Pahat with a documented CNY-themed regional stop that combined nine courts, two DUPR divisions and a compressed group-stage-plus-knockout timetable across Feb 28–Mar 1, 2026.
