Having never competed in a euro bowl the welsh camp are wondering how this all works?
Is it Swiss then Swiss within the teams like WC or do captains pick the teams / coaches?
Thanks

"Tournament format
The tournament consist of six rounds. In each round the national teams are paired up. Teams are paired by Swiss-draw in round two to six. In the first round draws are made from two groups. Teams are grouped according to their average team performance in the last five Eurobowls. The best half of the teams rounded down to an equal number is in the top group. The rest is in the bottom group. Any teams that did not participate in a Eurobowl in this period are put in the bottom group. Teams are randomly paired up with a team from the group they are in.
The individual match-ups are decided randomly in the first round and by Swiss-draw thereafter.
1 point is awarded for a victory, ½ for a draw and 0 for a defeat. Winning the team match gains the winning team a +1 bonus point to their team score."
From the rules section on the web page.

Looking forward to seeing you in Denmark
It might be seven instead of six games, but I bet you can guess the rules for the last round.
