11)   National teams’ classification.

a)       Before the tournament each federation can announce up to 5 players as a member of national team (4 for women).

b)      Team classification will be settled up based on results of 3 best members (2 for women) of national team:

a. Lowest sum of places
b. if equal – highest sum of points
c. if equal – higher place of best team player decides

c)       For teams with less than 3 (2 for women) players N+1 to the score will be added for absent players, where N=number of participants in the tournament.

 

12)   Competition fees (to be paid into the KBDB bank account or in cash):

a)       Entrance fee is 100€ for the first 3 players from the federation. If more players, then for each next (4-…) entrance fee is 200€.

b)      In case the federation wants to pay in cash, it must be requested with the subscription and will cost 10€ extra per person. No debts at the start of the competition.

c)       Paying the fee is a federation duty, so the amount of fee from Federations will be counted not based on the players present in Kortrijk but based on the number of players in the applications. Without full participation fee paid by a federation, it is impossible for any player from that federation to play. In case of an extraordinary situation, a federation should inform EDC in written about changes. Only in this case fee for not-coming players can be reduced:

i)        100% if resignation before September 15th

ii)       50% if resignation before September 20th

iii)     0% if resignation after September 20th
