As promised, here are the general rules and guidelines for EHBPC 2019 qualification. If something is not clear or missing, please post below!
I) Regional qualification
1) Regions decide on their qualification process for their assigned Main Event and Wildcard slots
- Regional reps report to the EHBA the dates and results of qualifiers
- Regional reps report the team list for Main Event and Wildcard
- Regional reps are asked for a first feed-back round in their region to predict approximate number of teams and qualifier dates. Feedback has to be reported by March 31st.
The list of regional reps (contact person) and regional slots can be found here:
