The first 40 competitors of the previous year's freestyle method feeder ranking list do not have to compete in the semi-finals, they have until February 28, 2024 to submit their entries for the semi-finals. If someone indicates within this deadline that they do not wish to participate in the semi-finals, the next contestant on the ranking list will be given the opportunity to enter. If any of the contestants entered until February 28, 2024 withdraws after that, they can enter the vacant place from the semi-finals.

The number of participants from the semi-finals to the semi-finals is determined in proportion to the number of participants in the semi-finals. 100% equals 80 competitors. The final round of participants in the semi-final can be formed based on the results of the last semi-final. Competitors from the semi-finals do not take their scores with them to the semi-finals. The 80 competitors who advanced from the semi-finals are supplemented by the top 40 competitors of the previous year's freestyle method feeder ranking list, and thus 120 competitors reach the semi-finals of the championship.

In the semi-finals, the top 40 of the previous year's ranking list and the 80 competitors who made it through the qualifiers will be drawn publicly to the three different race tracks, for the semi-final of 40 people per race track, so that the competitors are distributed equally according to their positions in the ranking list and in the qualifiers. In exceptional, particularly justified cases, the OVHB may authorize the start at a location other than the draw. In the 40-person semi-final, the contestants from the previous year's ranking list (3-4 per sector) will be selected.

The semi-finals will be held on August 22-25, 2024 at the following locations:

• Kiskunhalas, Ezüst-tó (40 people);
• Lukácsháza, Lake Abért (40 people);
• Nagykanizsa, Csónakázó lake (40 people).

40 contestants from the semi-finals will go to the finals, where they will take with them their ranking numbers obtained in the semi-finals (not their weight). The first 13-13-13 competitors from the three locations can advance to the finals, and on top of that, taking into account the results of all three semi-finals, the 14th place competitor with the best ranking number (in the event of a tie, the catch weight will decide) will be added to the circle of finalists.

The final will be held on September 26-29, 2024, at the Bátonyterenye, on the southern race track No. 2 of the Maconkai Reservoir (Lake III). In the finals, the first 12 places on the ranking list (3 people per sector) will be highlighted. All sector results of the semi-final and final are included in the final results of the championship: the final order is formed based on the four sector positions achieved in the semi-final and the total number of positions in the four rounds of the final.
