This is a knockout event, with matches played exclusively online.
It is for teams of four, from a squad of six all of whom are members of the 'home union' federations.
Matches prior to the semi-finals will be played over 24 boards, the semi-finals and the final being 32 boards.
A Plate competition is available for teams which lose their first match, so everyone is guaranteed at least two matches.
