The 2013 European Table Tennis Championships (4 - 13 October) held in the Werner Schlager Academy (WSA) in Schwechat has started.

Or we say, almost begun.

As part of a European training seninar in Barcelona, the draw for the European Championship qualifiers was made for 2013. The decision has been made to hold the championships in Schwechat.

Austria's Men (Championship Division) compete in Group B against Russia, Belarus, Croatia, Greece and Hungary.

Ladies of Austria (Standard Division) compete in Group A with Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo and Azerbaijan.

At the European Championships in 2013 at the WSA, both individual events (singles and doubles) will take place as well as the team competitions.  At Euro 2012 in Herning (Denmark), just the individual events are included.
