Additionally, the two Sports Directors Ana Matesic and Tomas Brikmanis will overview the running of the event. Five Board Members of the EPBF will be present during the event. For press and media work, another two people cooperate with two photographers and two IT-technicians.
Having not mentioned all helping hands here, a total of 51 people are taking care of an enormous amount of tasks in order to make this event an unforgettable tournament in the European history of the sport.
