Ranking and scoring
Unlike other tournaments at this tournament a ranking is performed according to the sum of the square numbers. The teams receive points attributed as the number of their final placement, ie: the winner (1st place) gets 1 point, second ( 2nd place) 2 points and so on. Teams who have not reported to the tournament get 25 points and teams that have registered, but then can not attend, will receive 50 points. So it is important to collect as few points as possible. Points are scored by the last five years.
