– We have had some challenges with finalising the match schedule because some teams had to cancel their participation due to the changes in the travel restrictions. Due to the pandemic we have also included preventive measures like no handshake after the game, disinfection of the players bench after each game, having a max. capacity in one arena of 500 people, visitors having to wear masks at the arena and no tournament party is organised, Czech Open Managing Director Kristýna Matoušová informs.
