ICCF-Europa invites entries to this new team tournament, to be played by post. The event will be played by teams of 4 players, regardless to their nationality. Each player will play one game against each of his opponents on the same board. Any team must have a Captain, who is the only one authorized to have contact with the Tournament Director. Entries have to be sent throughout ICCF-Europa Member Federations. If a team is made up of players from different countries, its entry has to be sent throughout its Captain’s Federation. When it is not possible to arrange a full team, individual players can send their entry (always throughout their National Federation), specifying whether they are willing to act as captain. The Zonal Director will try to arrange teams with such “isolated players”. It’s also possible to recruit players from those countries who are not members of ICCF-Europa. Nevertheless, it will be allowed to insert just one not-European player (who can not act as Captain) in each team. The tournament will be held over two stages with both Preliminary and Final sections having not less than 7 and not more than 9 teams. If the number of teams will be too high, it would possible to have a third stage (Preliminary – Semifinal – Final). Play is scheduled to commence at the end of June 2011. The games will be rated. Unrated players will be listed with an ELO of 1800. Entries should be submitted not later than 25 May
2011 to the Zonal Director All entries should include the following details: There is no entry fee for this tournament. Amici sumus. Torino, 11.03.2011. Gian-Maria Tani ICCF-Europa Zonal Director
