Planned for 2027
THE VELA TOUR CUP
Beginning in 2027, VELA plans to introduce a season-long competitive journey where players earn points throughout the season before qualifying for the VELA Tour Championship.
Earn Points
Every VELA Tour event awards VELA Tour Cup Points based on finishing position. The better you play throughout the season, the more points you earn.
Climb the Standings
Players accumulate VELA Tour Cup Points across every event, creating a season-long race to climb the standings and qualify for the championship.
Qualify for the VELA Tour Cup Championship
At the conclusion of the 2027 season, the top players in the VELA Tour Cup standings will qualify for the inaugural VELA Tour Cup Championship—the season finale where the year's champion will be crowned.
Complete qualification criteria, points distribution, championship format, and field size will be announced prior to the start of the 2027 season.
