Source-derived summary

Czech Open is an international floorball tournament. It takes place every year in August in Prague, Czech Republic. It is one of the largest professional floorball tournaments in the world. Every year up to 200 teams from around the world participate. The first season was played in 1993.

There are seven categories in the tournament. Both men and women have three categories (Elite, Pro and Open) and juniors have one. The elite categories are contested by eight teams each. Czech teams have a number of places reserved, which are assigned according to standings of the teams in Czech floorball leagues (such as Superliga florbalu or Extraliga žen).

The most successful team in the history of the tournament is Swedish Pixbo IBK, with nine titles in men's and twelve in women's Elite categories.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as floorball competition. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6568242. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1993.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
