Delete Bayern Muchen's website doesn't even mention it occurring in 2024. Nate • (chatter) 23:07, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – No proof that it is being held at all. WP:CRYSTAL applies until it is scheduled with a confirmed format. Sounder Bruce 03:18, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete We have other articles for this little tourney which also don't really cut the mustard for GNG. It can be recreated easily if need be, this can be moved to a sandbox to be worked on. But I don't think the tourney season pages pass GNG. Govvy (talk) 08:53, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Honestly I don't really consider it a 'tournament' in the sense of the word; it's Audi paying four teams to play four games and the TV networks getting some content. It's the equivalent of American summer tours in that they only exist to fill seats and promote something. Nate • (chatter) 17:17, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reply @MrSchimpf: Why? In every sense of the word for tournament it is a tournament. Friendly or competitive, the format is still a tournament. Audi are not paying the teams to play, of the money, well, 70% goes to charity and 30% is to cover overheads. Govvy (talk) 17:26, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Understood, but 90% of soccer fans don't care about the purse or charity outside testimonials or the big tourneys; Audi is there to advertise and the teams are there to play soccer. It's cold to state that, but that's the reality of the situation. Nate • (chatter) 00:33, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
