Teams consist of 5 players, with 4-board matches taking place in each of the 11 rounds. Match points will decide the final standings in both events (2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw).
The time control is 90 minutes for 40 moves, followed by 30 minutes until the end of the game, plus a 30-second increment starting from move 1.
