There will be no speed control of the electric sports wheelchair at the tournament. We believe in the game of "fair play". There will be no classification system. A team may start a match with a lower number of players while maintaining rule number 607. However, they are not entitled to any concessions. Rule 607 on the number of players will remain. No Accreditation card is required. Personal assistants or the coach may open the boundaries when substituting players.
​
In the case that two or more teams have the same number of points at the end of all group games, the following ancillary criteria will determine the final standings:
​
- Higher number of points scored in the PRELIMINARY group.
- Goal difference in the PRELIMINARY group.
- Higher number of goals scored in the PRELIMINARY group.
- Higher goal difference in all matches in the PRELIMINARY group.
- Higher number of goals scored in the PRELIMINARY group.
- Flip coin​

Referee
Each participating team is obliged to nominate 1 referee for the tournament. The organizer sets the following conditions for the nomination:
​
-
Only a referee who referees matches in your domestic competition (regardless of the level) can be nominated. The team must prove that the above condition is met by the confirmation of the relevant federation that governs Powerchair Hockey in the country.
-
A referee cannot also be a player who participates in tournament matches.
-
The organizer has the right to request a change in the referee's nomination.
-
​
In case that the nominated referee cannot come with the team, the team can make a change. The substituted referee must meet the same conditions as the first referee. If the team arrives without nominated referee, there is a penalty 400€.
