A few notes from the tabroom

1. General rules of tabbing2. Filling in the ballot

• WUDC rules apply

• Powerpairing: You meet teams of equal strength, as

measured by ranking points.

• Pull-up: You may be pulled up to a higher bracket, but

we‘ll try to avoid repeats.

• Position rotation: We will try to fully rotate you twice,

no promise though.

• Our current information is: Open break will be 48

teams, ESL break 16 teams, EFL break also 16 teams.

• Speaker points are only relevant for determining the

break, not for the pairings.
