Choice of number of pools and KO entry are listed in the following table with reference to the number of entries for each division of play.

The purpose of seeding is to enable sides that have ranking positions achieve their relative seeded position at the conclusion of the competition. For example the top two seeds should be able to meet in the final match, the sides seeded 5 to 8 should be able to reach the quarter finals etc. The seeding is calculated by taking all the sides who have an international BISFed ranking and who are competing in the competition and placing them into consecutive seeding positions relative to their respective ranking. The table below gives an example of this. Team BISFed Ranking Seeding R 1 1 I 3 2 C 7 3 H 8 4 The first seeded side is placed in position one in Pool A, the second seeded side is placed in position one in Pool B and so on until there is one side in every pool (unless there are more pools than seeded sides). The next seeded side is then placed in position two in the last pool, the next seeded side is then placed in position two in the preceding pool and so on. This arrangement is also called "snake arrangement" as shown by following table: 16 Póvoa de Varzim – Portugal June 18th to 22nd Pool A Pool B Pool C Pool D Pool E 1st seed 2nd seed 3rd seed 4th seed 5th seed 10th seed 9th seed 8th seed 7th seed 6th seed 11th seed 12th seed 13th seed 14th seed 15th seed 18th seed 17th seed 16th seed Sides not on the world rankings lists will be placed in pools randomly through the Official Competition Draw at the Team Managers Technical Meetings of a particular event. Up to two sides in each pool may be from the same country. Exception is the case where is only three sides in a pool, which should allow only one athlete from the same country. If a third athlete (or a second athlete in the case three athletes in one pool) from the same country is seeded or drawn in the same Pool, this athlete shall be placed in the next available pool. The next seeded or draw will then be placed in the previous pool. However, in some special situation, as in the above table for example, if 5th, 6th and 15th are from the same country, the 15th should swap with the previous available pool (14th). Similarly, if that third (or second) athlete is the last seed, he or she would swap with the one in previous pool as possible. DETERMINING THE FINAL POSITION OF SIDES WITHIN A POOL The following criteria should be used to determine the position of sides in a pool once all the matches have been completed. If any sides are in an equal position after one criterion has been applied then the next criteria should be used until the sides have been separated into positions. 1st - Matches won (the number of matches won by each side, in descending order). 2nd - Point difference (the total number of points scored, minus the total number of points conceded, in descending order). 3rd - Point for (the total number of points scored in descending order). 4th - Tie-break end (the winner of an additional tie-break end). The Team Managers will be informed of match start time for the tie-break end. 17 Póvoa de Varzim – Portugal June 18th to 22nd PROGRESSION FROM POOL ROUNDS TO ELIMINATION ROUNDS Apart from the 1 or 2 direct advancers, there would be point-qualifiers from some of the pools progressing into elimination rounds, as elaborated above. The following criteria are applied to determine the point-qualifiers. If any sides are in an equal position after one criterion has been applied then the next criteria should be used until the sides have been separated into positions. 1st - Average point difference (the total number of points scored, minus the total number of points conceded, divided by the number of matches played, in descending order; points obtained in tie-breaks will not be counted). 2nd - Average point for (the total number of points scored, divided by the number of matches played, in descending order; points obtained in tie-breaks will not be counted). 3rd - Tie-break end (the winner of the extra end). The Team Managers will be informed of match start time. The winning Sides of Elimination matches progress to the next Elimination round, and losing Sides are eliminated from the competition. Those Sides that lose at the semi-final stage shall play for the Bronze Medal. FINAL POSITIONING CRITERIA 1 (FOR SIDES LOST IN ONE OF THE ELIMINATION ROUNDS) The following criteria should be used to determine the final positions of sides which lost in one of the Elimination Rounds. Only the result of the respective finals match should be used when applying the criteria. For example, if the criteria are being used to determine the positions of the losing quarter finalists, only the results of the quarter finals should be used when applying the criteria. Any previous Elimination Round results and Pool results should be ignored. If any sides are in an equal position after Criterion One has been applied then the Criterion Two should be used, and if there is a tie, then Criterion Three should be used. If there is still a tie, then the sides should be ranked equally. 18 Póvoa de Varzim – Portugal June 18th to 22nd Criterion One (points difference)… The number of points scored, minus the total number of points conceded, and placed in descending order Criterion Two (points for) The total number of points scored, and placed in descending order Criterion Three (previous round) If it is the ¼ final, then criterion 1 and 2 should be applied to the 1/8 final, or results of pool in case the sides only played one elimination round (follow the “Final Positioning Criteria 2” in the next section). FINAL POSITIONING CRITERIA 2 (FOR SIDES NOT PROGRESSED BEYOND POOLS) The following criteria should be used to determine the final positions of sides which failed to progress to the Elimination Rounds. If any sides are in an equal position after one criterion has been applied then the second criterion should be used. If there is still a tie after Criterion Four is applied, then the sides should be ranked equally. Criterion One ( pool position ) Final position of sides within a pool in descending order Criterion Two ( average points difference ) The total number of points scored, minus the total number of points conceded, divided by the number of matches played, in descending order Criterion Three ( average points for ) Criterion Four (average ends won) The total number of points scored, divided by the number of matches played, in descending order The total number of ends won, divided by the number of matches played, in descending order FINAL POSITIONING OF SIDES The final positioning of sides will be determined using the following criteria and depending on the number of sides progressing beyond the pool rounds. 4 sides progress to the Elimination Rounds st Winner of the final nd Loser of the final 1 (Gold) 2 (Silver) rd Winner of the 3rd/4th play-off th Loser of the 3rd/4th play-off 3 (Bronze) 4 th 5 onwards Sides not progressing beyond pools 8 sides progress to the Elimination Rounds st 1 (Gold) Winner of the final 19 Póvoa de Varzim – Portugal June 18th to 22nd nd Loser of the final rd Winner of the 3rd/4th play-off 4 th Loser of the 3rd/4th play-off 5th -8th Losers of the quarter-finals 2 (Silver) 3 (Bronze) th 9 onwards Sides not progressing beyond pools 16 sides progress to the Elimination Rounds st Winner of the final nd Loser of the final 1 (Gold) 2 (Silver) rd Winner of the 3rd/4th play-off th Loser of the 3rd/4th play-off 3 (Bronze) 4 th 5 -8 th th th 9 -16 Losers of the quarter-finals Losers of the eight-finals th 17 onwards Sides not progressing beyond pools 20 Póvoa de Varzim – Portugal June 18th to 22nd TRAINING SCHEDULE 18th June COURT 1 COURT 2 COURT 3 COURT 4 COURT 5 COURT 6 COURT 7 COURT 8 COURT 9 COURT 10 11h00 13h00 POR POR POR NED NED CZE CZE CZE CAN CAN 15h00 17h00 SVK SVK SVK RUS RUS FIN DEN DEN BEL 17h00 19h00 NOR GER GER GBR GBR GBR GRE GRE GRE TIME COURT 11 COURT 12 COURT 13 ISR ISR ISR ESP ESP ESP HUN COURT 13 COURT 14 COURT 15 COURT 16 FRA SWE COURT 15 COURT 16 COURT 17 COURT 18 COURT 17 COURT 18 09h00 11h00 19th June TIME COURT 1 COURT 2 COURT 3 COURT 4 COURT 5 COURT 6 COURT 7 COURT 8 COURT 9 COURT 10 COURT 11 COURT 12 08h30 10h00 GBR GBR GBR GRE GRE GRE NOR ESP ESP ESP SWE FIN 10h00 11h30 GER GER ISR ISR ISR POR POR POR RUS RUS FRA BEL 11h30 13h00 NED NED CZE CZE CZE CAN CAN DEN DEN HUN SVK SVK SVK 21 COURT 14 Póvoa de Varzim – Portugal June 18th to 22nd TRAINING ON THE COMPETITION COURTS The teams must be at the entrance of the competition area at least 5 minutes before the scheduled time.
