As in previous years, this is a tournament for all interested parties, no matter how advanced they may be.

This mixed tournament invites you to play with players of the same skill level in the respective group and to meet new people at the same time.

The first game will be played with your registered mixed partner, who should have the same skill level.
In the further course of the group phase, you will play together with three other partners.
