The program at 16 CRAFT ARENA tables opens the thigh at 10:00. In the first two days it includes the equal stages of the group with groups.
On Thursday, the draws will be held for the individual and double mixed matches that enter the program the next day along with the final stage of the team.
THE GROUP SYSTEM
The team will initially have two stages with groups. At each meeting in this track there are five individual games, so the scores can range from 5-0 to 3-2 sets. Each country is rated according to its individual victories, so athletes have to stay alert until the end.
For example, in a 5-0 win the winner gets 5 points and the loser one, while in scoring 4-1 the winner 4 points and the loser 1.
Initially, seven groups are formed. The first two groups of each qualify at the A level of Stage 2 (the so -called A Final), while the rest continue to the b level (B Final).
In the new stage, four groups are created. Two of three groups and two of the four. The same will be done at the second level if the final entries do not change (that is, the teams will compete for positions 15-28).
The first from each group will proceed to the third stage for positions 1-4. The second for positions 5-8. The third for the 9-12 and, who are left in fourth place, for 13-14. The system will also be similar to the B level. In the final stages we will have a cross -scale and after the final for the European Champion, as well as for the fifth, the ninth event and so on.
In these games there is the team, which reaches the first to three individual wins. In each team match, the double mixed is first. Then the two girls who did not use the doubles were reached in the double.
Then the two boys who did not fight in the double. Then again, a girls ‘race and finally again a boys’ match, the time with the kids who were involved in the double.
# Clubs will include the first phase of the simple. At the end, the first two athletes and the first athletes will go to the A Final and the rest to B Final. The double mixer has a knockout match from the beginning.
