Welcome

This trial is the last tournament before selecting the Swedish Bermuda Bowl team. And an opportunity for the Dutch and Danish teams for revenge after the 2002 European Championships.

The teams are divided into three groups. Each group plays only the other two groups. After eight matches the teams are matched according to VP, but still two teams from the same group won't meet each other.

Simultaneously four women's teams from the Netherlands, Norway and Denmark are playing. The Netherlands are the reigning European Champions. Norway and Denmark were placed 6th and 7th just missing qualification to Venice Cup (World Championships). Norway and Denmark will hope for revenge as well.

In the women's series there will be a double round robin. The winner chooses semi-final opponent among number three and four. ½ a carry-over in favour of the best placed team in the round-robin or 1/3 carry-over in favour of the lower ranking team from the round robin.
