Please note that registrations will only be accepted by contacting the relevant email addresses above.
A valid passport is required for entry to all qualifiers, and all players are advised to check that they would also be able to travel to the UK to compete in the relevant event, should they qualify.
This information is especially important for the participants of the World Youth Championship Qualifiers in South-East and South-West Europe, as they have to travel to the UK only a few days after a possible qualification.
