participants into 2 subgroups in such a way that the strongest
competitors are assigned to the different sub-groups by the

finals are held to determine individual places. From each subgroup
2 competitors that took first and second place compete in semi-finals,
and the party that won first place in one subgroup compete with
the party that won second place in another subgroup. The winners
of the semi-finals compete for the first and second place in
the finals, and lost parties compete for the 3rd place. In the

competition results are considered to identify participants

third place), two third places are played, where the main third
place is played in a duel between the participants in the semi-finals,
