Group fixtures finalised for ECC Indoor Championships

Austria will take on Portugal, twice winners of the ECC Indoors Championships, in the opening fixture in the ECC Indoor Championships to be held in Herning, Denmark. Austria has had an instrumental role in the development of the championships, holding the first ever European Indoor Championships, in 1995, on a boat on the Danube. In 1996, Austria won the European Championships, winning the competition at the Lords Indoor School.

Austria's full group fixtures are as follows:

Friday 14th February, 2003

1800 vs Portugal (Hall 1)

Saturday 15th February, 2003

1000 vs Greece (Hall 2) 1200 vs Spain (Hall 2) 1500 vs Holland (Hall 2) 1700 vs Denmark (Hall 3)

In the event that Austria finish either fifth or sixth in the A group, they will play a qualifying game against either the fourth or sixth placed team in the B group (at 1900 on Saturday in either Hall 2 or 3). Thereafter, there will be a knock-out tournament with a plate competition also being introduced this year.
