Tournament identity and lineage Resolve what the Hypo Group title identifies and how it relates to earlier tournament phases.
Sponsored name boundary
Establish the temporal and conceptual reach of the registered name.
The sponsored name does not by itself establish lineage
Record the name's attested editions separately from claims that it labels the tournament's entire history.
- Does the registry's originating record identify the Pörtschach sponsored phase or the complete historical tournament lineage? boundary
- Which contemporary programmes or tour records establish the first and last use of the Hypo Group Tennis International title? provenance
Predecessor continuity
Evaluate continuity claims involving Bari, Genoa and St. Pölten.
Relocation requires continuity evidence
Historical summaries connect this tournament with earlier host cities, but the model must distinguish official continuity from retrospective grouping. [Tournament history overview](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypo_Group_Tennis_International)
- Which ATP identifiers, sanction records or organiser statements connect the Bari, Genoa, St. Pölten and Pörtschach phases? provenance
- Should an earlier host-city reference resolve to this same registered thing or remain a related predecessor pending stronger evidence? action
Editions and playing setting Locate each edition in its actual calendar and tennis setting.
Edition calendar
Distinguish annual identity, advertised event dates and competition dates.
Qualifying and main-draw dates need separate interpretation
Record what each reported date range covers before deciding that two sources disagree.
- For each Hypo Group edition, which dates cover qualifying, main-draw play and the wider advertised event? measurement
- Which official schedule or completed draw establishes the dates on which play actually occurred? provenance
Pörtschach venue and courts
Describe the edition's use of a named facility and its playing conditions.
Venue use is edition-specific
Associate the reported Werzer Arena setting with supported editions, keeping town, facility and court conditions distinct.
- Which editions are documented at Werzer Arena, and what venue-name variants refer to that same facility? provenance
- What evidence establishes surface and outdoor status for each edition included in the model? measurement
Competitive programme and results Represent entry, draws and outcomes at the level of each tennis competition.
Draws and entry
Capture the competition programme and edition-specific routes into it.
Draws have distinct entry populations
Keep singles players, doubles partnerships and qualifying entrants separate, with entry routes supported by the relevant draw.
- What were the singles, doubles and qualifying draw sizes for each edition, and do the figures describe slots or actual starters? measurement
- Which draw annotations identify direct acceptances, qualifiers, wild cards and replacements? provenance
Results and tour consequences
Connect verified outcomes to the rules and rewards applicable that season.
Outcomes retain their competition and season
Record winners, scores and exceptional match endings against a specific draw; attach ranking points and financial awards only when documented.
- Which completed official draws establish singles and doubles winners, final scores, retirements and walkovers? provenance
- What ranking points and prize awards applied to each round under that edition's contemporary tour classification? measurement
Organisation and historical status Separate the sponsor, event operator and tour authority while establishing how the event's run ended.
Sponsor and operator roles
Identify who named, delivered and sanctioned the event in each relevant year.
Title sponsorship is a specific role
Distinguish naming sponsorship from promotion, venue operation and ATP sanctioning rather than inferring ownership from the tournament title.
- Which records identify Hypo Group's contractual role and the entity responsible for organising each edition? provenance
- Who had authority over tournament scheduling, participant entry and commercial presentation? action
Cessation and successor claims
Establish the last completed edition and evaluate any claimed continuation elsewhere.
End of run and transfer are separate claims
Treat a final recorded edition, cancellation, sanction transfer and successor tournament as different assertions requiring their own evidence.
- Which contemporary announcement or tour record establishes when and why the Hypo Group event ceased? provenance
- Does any proposed successor share documented sanction or organisational continuity, or merely occupy a similar calendar position? boundary
Evidence and external alignment What the world already says about this thing, gathered so the model can be checked against it.
Reported evidence
Findings from the breadth pass, kept separate from the structural claims.

- Relationships between annual editions, historical names and host locations

Why it exists Filled
Enable an agent to identify Hypo Group Tennis International, distinguish its tournament lineage from individual editions, assess historical records and attach information to the correct event.
Distinguishing features Filled
- It denotes a recurring men's tennis tournament, rather than the Hypo Group sponsor or a tennis organisation.
- The Hypo Group title is associated with the Pörtschach phase of the event; a historical name or earlier host requires a documented continuity relationship before being treated as equivalent.
- The Pörtschach editions used outdoor clay courts, helping distinguish this event from other Austrian tour events. [2008 edition overview](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Hypo_Group_Tennis_International)
- A year-qualified reference denotes an edition, while a singles or doubles final denotes a competition component within that edition.
- Historical International Series classification must be retained with its applicable year rather than silently replaced by a modern tour category.
