SYSTEM: groups - 27 teams are registered (max 28). The teams were drawn into 4 groups of 6-7 participants each, so that domestic and foreign participants were evenly distributed among the groups. In the group, the system is round robin for two sets. Each set is played to 50 points, or to max. 12 throws by each team. Then the team with the higher number of points is the winner of the set. If the points are equal, it is a draw. There are two points for a set win, one point for a tie, zero points for a loss. Score sheets will be prepared on courts for all matches in the group.
