Tell me more about the costs of entry? What does it cover? And what if I want to submit 2-3 teams from my company?
The per-Team Entry fee of 2180 euro covers all costs of the Tournament for your 7-person team. This includes food-grill and open-bar drinks in the evening, insurance for your players, music, and the cash Awards to be given to the winning Company's Charity.
