• The detailed rules are in parts similar to the Pandanet European Team Championship of the adults.

FAQ:

• Will there be handicap? - No, but due to the tournament system, after one or two rounds teams of similar strength play against each other.
• Can a younger child play in an older age category? - Yes, of course.
• Can a child play in different age categories in different rounds? - Yes, no problem.
• Will there be prizes? - We'll see what we can do... :)
• Are there some special rules i should know about? - We play "accelerated Swiss system" (meaning the first round is skipped to avoid some boring games), up to three players can be added later to the team (under certain conditions) and one country might be allowed to play with two teams where one team is the A-team (with the top players) and one the B-team (with remaining players).
• Can one player play in different rounds play in different teams? - Usually no, but with one exception: a player might sometimes play in his A team and sometimes in his B team if his country has two teams (but of course not in both in the same round).

Schedule:

• The games are being played on a Saturday, default playing time is 14:00.
