8. Number of teams in the tournament
It is our aim that all teams wishing to take part in the Great Wall Cup of Beijing should be able to do so. But as the first time we starts this tournament, we would like to make it small and make sure the quality of organization is good at this first year. There will be a maximum of 8 teams in each age group (including 2-4 local teams). The teams paying their entry fees first will be given priority. A club may enter only one team in each age group.

The calendar will detail the time when the match will be played, the field and the age category.
It could be possible, depending on the final configuration of the groups, that team plays more than one match a day.
The Organization has the right to change the groups, the calendar, the fields and timetables. Notice about any change would be given to each team leader with sufficient time.
