The 10th ICC European Indoor Championships in Kuortane will be host to 7 national teams from 8-10 February 2008.
The tournament format will firstly involve a league of round robin matches in which each team plays the other once. The team ranked 1st will automatically secure a quarter-final place while teams ranked 2nd through 7th will play-off for 3 remaining quarter final places. The quarter-finals will be followed by semi-finals with the winner of the championship decided in the final.
Losers of the semi-finals will compete in a 3rd and 4th place play-off and teams who did not progress to the quarter-finals will also compete in a plate competition to decide placings for 5th to 7th.
