Sports Group

At least one sport per group must be selected from a prescribed minimum number of groups (compulsory number for the election of different groups). The choice of groups is free. The number of available groups is usually greater than the number of groups from which to choose (mandatory number 8 groups). Example: There are 9 groups of sports available, but only 8 groups of sports have to be chosen (at least 1 sport per group - rest selection is free).

Choice of sports

After the choice of 8 sports from 8 different groups, all other sports from all available sports may be selected.
