General:
The Tournament will be played using the format of the Kúpello Elládos.
Little changes are the number of teams and the using of byes.
Because more players will take part as in the real Kúpello Elládos, there will be a Qualifying Round first.
Also there will be no byes as in the real Kúpello Elládos in Round 3.
