WBF Registration

Each player in the team must be registered in the WBF Database.
If you are not registered in the database please go to:

http://www.worldbridge.org/rules-regulations/competitions/participants-commitment
where you can download the registration form to complete and return to anna.gudge@worldbridgefed.com, or you can email Anna and she will send you a copy.
If you are not sure and need to check, you can go to:
http://www.worldbridge.org/people-finder and type in your last name (you don’t need to enter your country) and you will get a list … please remember that if you registered some time ago and have subsequently changed your name you also need to check your original name. If it has changed please email anna.gudge@worldbridgefed.com and she will arrange to update your entry.

WBF Commitment form

Each player must also have a registered Commitment form in place – if you have played in a WBF Championship event since 2017 you should already have one, but if not please go to http://www.worldbridge.org/rules-regulations/competitions/participants-commitment where you can complete the form digitally and it will be sent to the WBF automatically.

Each participating pair must register their system card in advance, no later than 1 February 2024. This must be in the correct format and the main card must be two sided only. Supplementary sheets (maximum 6) may be added to give additional necessary information. These must be emailed either as the original Word / Excel file or as a PDF to anna.gudge@worldbridgefed.com.
