Explanation:

Every participating nation team consists of maximum six national players.
Officials, lifetime members and extra players can form a NATO-team, but they cannot win the cup.
Rule: Players of the same nationality may not play against each other.
In order to build a team-ranking, the points of the four best players of a team are gathered.
Please check the individual ranking list to see which player is in which team.
