VanOpen identity and continuity Recognise the registered tournament across abbreviated branding, sponsor references, and separate edition records.
Official name resolution
Connect names used by organisers and circuits to the registry entry.
VanOpen public identity
The organiser uses Odlum Brown VanOpen for the tennis tournament. Record its relationship to the registry's Odlum Brown Vancouver Open wording through official naming evidence. [Official tournament overview](https://vanopen.com/tournament/).
- Which official records establish that Odlum Brown VanOpen denotes vr.tr.odlum-brown-vancouver-open? provenance
- Does an encountered name denote the recurring tournament, one edition, one competition, or the title partner? boundary
Edition continuity
Preserve the recurring event's identity without assuming uninterrupted annual delivery.
Continuity through hiatus
The organiser describes interruptions in tournament delivery. Model the tournament separately from each year's occurrence and retain evidence for continuity rather than filling absent years with presumed editions.
- Which years have evidence of play, cancellation, postponement, or an explicitly announced hiatus? provenance
- When a return is announced, what establishes continuity with this tournament rather than creation of a separate event? boundary
Combined circuit competitions Represent the men's and women's competitions within the shared VanOpen event.
Edition-specific sanction
Establish the governing circuit and level of each competition for the relevant year.
Paired categories
The organiser announced a combined ATP Challenger 125 and WTA 125 event for 2022. This supports the 2022 classification, while other editions require their own evidence. [2022 announcement](https://vanopen.com/odlum-brown-vanopen-returns-bigger-than-ever-in-2022/).
- What circuit and category does the sanctioning body confirm for each competition in the target edition? provenance
- Which entry conditions and ranking awards follow from those edition-specific categories? action
Draws and entry pathways
Distinguish singles, doubles, qualifying, and main-draw participation.
Competition-specific capacity
The WTA's 2022 record identifies a hard-court event with a 32-player singles draw and a 16-team doubles draw. These are women's competition values for that edition, not capacities for the whole tournament. [WTA 2022 overview](https://www.wtatennis.com/tournaments/2064/vancouver-125/2022).
- How many player or team places exist in each qualifying and main draw for the target edition? measurement
- Which official acceptance lists, wildcard announcements, and qualifying results establish a participant's entry route? provenance
Hollyburn hosting and delivery Assess the venue relationship and physical conditions needed to deliver VanOpen.
Host location and courts
Identify the actual host location and edition-specific playing environment.
West Vancouver host
The organiser identifies Hollyburn Country Club in West Vancouver, British Columbia, as the tournament venue. Preserve the distinction between the event's Vancouver branding and its host municipality. [Official tournament overview](https://vanopen.com/tournament/).
- Which venue and municipality are confirmed for the edition being assessed? provenance
- What surface, setting, and match-court availability are verified for its competitions? measurement
Venue readiness and interruption
Connect hosting constraints to decisions about whether an edition can proceed.
Renovation-dependent hiatus
The 2023 hiatus announcement attributes the interruption to Hollyburn renovations and describes an unsuccessful effort to relocate that year's event to Burnaby Lake Sports Complex. A considered alternative venue must remain distinct from a confirmed host. [2023 hiatus announcement](https://vanopen.com/odlum-brown-vanopen-goes-on-hiatus-for-2023/).
- What dated evidence establishes venue readiness or a hosting constraint for the target edition? provenance
- What organiser and circuit confirmations are needed before an agent treats a relocation or return as confirmed? action
Edition status and playing record Determine what was scheduled, what actually happened, and which records establish the outcome.
Calendar and lifecycle
Track dated status transitions and distinguish different competition periods.
Announcement versus occurrence
The organiser's overview announces a July 25-August 1, 2026 return. That announcement alone does not establish that the edition was played or completed. [Official tournament overview](https://vanopen.com/tournament/).
- Which dates describe the public event, qualifying, and each circuit's main draw? definition
- What subsequent official evidence establishes whether the announced edition proceeded, changed dates, or was cancelled? provenance
Draw progression and results
Establish match progression and final outcomes within each competition.
Authoritative competition outcomes
A VanOpen champion or score must be attached to the correct edition, circuit competition, and singles or doubles draw. Record retirements, walkovers, and corrections according to the official draw's treatment.
- Which official completed draw establishes the finalists, champion, and match outcomes for each competition? provenance
- How should an agent report a result when the organiser's page and the circuit's record disagree? action
VanOpen authority and awards Identify who can authorise tournament decisions and what competitive or financial benefits an edition offers.
Organising and partner roles
Separate tournament delivery, title partnership, venue hosting, and circuit authority.
Role-specific authority
Establish the named organisation or official responsible for each VanOpen decision. Branding alone does not establish ownership, sanctioning power, wildcard authority, or responsibility for payments.
- Which current documents identify the organiser, title partner, host, and sanctioning bodies and their responsibilities? provenance
- Who is authorised to confirm entries, schedule changes, cancellations, and financial commitments? action
Prize and ranking entitlements
Interpret edition-specific prize and ranking schedules for each competition.
Separate award bases
Record prize money, total financial commitment, and ranking awards as distinct measures with their applicable competition and edition. Do not infer participant entitlements from a combined promotional purse.
- What currency, accounting basis, and competition breakdown accompany each published financial figure? measurement
- Which official award schedule and participation conditions determine a player's or team's entitlement? action

What it is Filled
The Odlum Brown Vancouver Open is a named professional tennis tournament held on outdoor hard courts in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with men's and women's competitions historically associated with the ATP Challenger Tour and ITF Women's Circuit.
In scope

- Edition-specific men's and women's circuit affiliations, categories, and draws

Why it exists Filled
Enable an AI agent to recognise the Odlum Brown Vancouver Open, assess the evidence for each edition's status and competitions, and determine appropriate participation, scheduling, and recordkeeping actions.
Distinguishing features Filled
- The referent is a recurring professional tennis tournament; the Odlum Brown name identifies a tournament partnership rather than making the event a financial-services organisation.
- An edition can contain separate men's and women's competitions with different governing circuits; evidence for one competition does not establish the other's category or results.
- The organiser identifies Hollyburn Country Club in West Vancouver as its host, so the Vancouver tournament name must not be treated as an exact municipal location.
- The documented 2022 combination of ATP Challenger 125 and WTA 125 categories is edition-specific evidence, not a timeless classification of every historical edition.
- A hiatus or a return announcement concerns particular editions and does not by itself establish either termination of the recurring tournament or completion of a later edition.
