Teams

Each team consists of 3-5 players (three players on the field and two reserve player). In the open series, this team can consist of a men's, mixed or women's team. In the ladies' series, a team consists of only ladies, if this cannot be organized due to insufficient registrations, the ladies can join the open series.

Player 1 is considered the captain and takes the initiative to register the team in the region of your choice and organizes the matches.

During registration, the other team players are added. Player 2-5 can be added to the team by the captain (via menu). These four players will receive an automatic invitation via e-mail and can follow the team and its results online.

A player may only be a member of one team during the competition. The entire competition is thus played with 3-5 of the same players.
