It is an open event.

The seeding is mainly based on seeding points earned at the major events over the last five (?) years, masterpoints are a small component of the formula.

Isn't there a 100 mp minimum?

Each player can have up to 50 seeding points, a maximum of ~10 of which can come from masterpoints. Right?

As an aside: there is no team with the young Swedish women, Emma Sjöberg, Cecilia Rimstedt and Sandra Rimstedt. Their sponsor forgot to submit the entry. The deadline is 20:00 the evening before, and there is no exception to that rule.

Perhaps a little strange given that an odd number of teams (71) entered.

I don't think an odd or even number of teams makes much difference when you're talking about 40-something byes on the first day.

Is the sponsor usually in charge of these administrative duties?

I usually get the captain's role, which means getting the entry in, reporting after matches, etc..

Don't know whose responsibility it is, but Martin de Knijff, who will be playing on the team with Fallenius and Fredin, has this post on the SBF's website:

Tyvärr missade tjejernas sponsor (Emma, Cecilia, Sandra) att anmäla sitt lag. Deadline är nämligen 20.00 dagen före. Inga undantag medges.

It states that the sponsor forgot.
