Teams that do not show up or show up too late will lose the match 5-0. If a team withdraws during the tournament, or is excluded from further participation by the organization, all results (including those of any previously played matches) will be determined at 5-0 in favor of the opponents. The tournament management has the right, if necessary, to make a change to the match program. In the event of (threatening) thunderstorms, the matches will be stopped by the match organization in consultation with the head referee for as long as necessary. Each team provides its own caps, the first-mentioned teams play with a white cap and start on the side where the table is placed.

You must keep an eye on any entry and exit of the program yourself. Please pay attention to the broadcast announcements. The awards ceremony will take place immediately after the tournament.
