The Championships consist of a pairs tournament and a teams
tournament. Transnational combinations are allowed.
The Pairs Championship comprises

tournament.
The Teams will be played as
a Swiss tournament with a knockout ending for the top teams: after
twelve 10-board rounds, the top four teams will advance to the semifinals
(and then to the final and the 3rd-place playoff - all played over
32 boards), while the rest will play 4 more Swiss rounds.
