In the two years there were 126 Mini and 79 Midi tournament. From the beginning of year 2013 Mini and Midi tournaments will be counted for E-dama Minimidi Cup. The rules of this competition are simple: All the points collected in the Mini and Midi tournaments which started in the calendar year will be added together and the player with most points will win E-dama Minimidi Cup for this year.
