The tournament organizes more than 200 events every year around the world, and the schedule of these events includes a qualifying round for each continent that qualifies for the World Championships, which is held every two years.

Jordan hosted five championships in 2022 after a hiatus due to the Corona pandemic, and was the first host of this tournament in the Middle East, in addition to hosting the tournament in January 2023, which put Jordan on the map of this game and made it a destination for players and fans of this sport from the Middle East, North Africa and some European countries.

The tournament contributes to tourism, as it is an important factor in attracting tourists to Jordan, and attracting many players who are fans of this game from more than 25 countries. The international Amman round and the Dead Sea round have been fixed, and the organizing committee of the tournament looks forward to enhancing its efforts to benefit from the momentum and the Kingdom's location in increasing the attraction of sports tourism and considering the possibility of holding a tournament in the city of Aqaba in the future.
