The team event in a Cup System
First and second rotations
While the first rotation remains unchanged with ten teams, after the first rotation teams ranked 9 and 10 are now eliminated so that favorite teams have an early selection. The remaining teams’ points earned at the first rotation are carried over to the second one. Four additional teams are eliminated after the 2nd rotation.
Semi-Finals
From the semi-finals on (3rd rotation), the system goes to a Cup system (two teams against each other). The remaining four teams start again with 0.00 point.
Finals
The winners of both semi-finals qualify for the big final (ranks 1 and 2) and fight for the title. Both losers fight for ranks 3 and 4.
