The Asturian team (cumulative handicap -10) presents a renewed image brought about by recent events: the move to professionalism of Alberto Fernández and Pablo Alperi means that this time Juan García-Ochoa and Miguel Díaz-Negrete are accompanied by two emerging talents: Ignacio Adaro and Álvaro Huidobro.

Among the contenders for the Asturian crown, one of the tournament's traditional protagonists stands out: Real Club de Golf El Prat (-13), seeking its tenth title with Vicente Mestre and Xavi Yagüe leading the way. Escorpión (-11.1), with a very young team, and Guadalhorce (-10.6), featuring Fernando Moreno and Gonzalo Gancedo, are also expected to be in the final on Sunday.

The other participating teams are the representatives of RCG La Coruña (-9.2), RCG de Cerdaña (-7), CG Terramar (-6.7), RCG Puerta de Hierro (-5.7), RACE (-5.5), CG Vallromanes (-5), RCG Tenerife (-4.9), RSHECC (-3.9), RCG San Sebastián (-3.7), RCG Pedreña (-2.7), RCG La Herrería (-2.1) and RCG Las Palmas (-0.3).

The qualifying round, crucial in the outcome of the tournament

The sixteen participating teams, made up of four players, will play a first day under the stroke play format of vital importance since it will determine, taking into account only the three best scores, the subsequent eliminations in the fight for the title.

The top eight finishers after completing the first 18 holes will compete for the title, while the rest will have to settle for fighting for the best possible position between 9th and 16th.

In the following two days of competition, under the 'match play' format, two players from each team play individual matches, while the other two, chosen by the captain of each club, face each other in 'foursomes' matches.
