Qualification

Since 2003, the European Championships have been held in three different stages, with the winners of the C- and B-Pool tournaments each being promoted to the next-highest level. The winner of the C-Pool tournament in 2012 was Serbia. The B-Pool tournament in 2013 took place from August 31 to September 7 in Milan, Italy. In addition to Italy and Serbia, there were also Denmark, Spain, the Czech Republic and Great Britain that battled for a spot in the A-Pool for 2014 in Austria. The winner was Denmark, which qualified for the A-pool in 2014. ^[1]
