Participation Points
In case, more teams apply than are allowed in the tournament, the EC will decide about the participation according to the following procedure.
All teams must pay their money by the first deadline, any team failing to do this, unless they have made an arrangement with the OC will be discounted from the initial selection. Subject to meeting the OC’s requirements, the following teams are guaranteed participation for Roma 2011:
1. Champions of the ECC – Moscow
2. 2011 host – Prague
3. Current host Roma
4. Wild card team (OC’s choice)
5. Host -1 year (Bordeaux)
6. Host -2 years (Madrid)
7. Host -3 years (Romania)
8. Host -4 years (Amsterdam)
9. Host -5 years (Sofia)
10 Host -6 years (Moscow)
The remainder of the teams are selected based on the payment of money on time and if there are still too many teams then the participation points are used. If there is for example two final spaces and there are three teams on the same number of points then a simple draw will decide the participants. The decision of the board is FINAL in this case.
The points are given after each Captains Meeting, according to this scheme:
| Deletion from address list | Entry Fee paid in time | First payment paid in time | Present at CM (or written proxy by those not participating) | Participation | Hosting | Points | |
