Junior Camps are not mainly addressed to champion players but to the anonymous mass of lesser mortals. Therefore, the level of play should not be regarded as a qualification.

Participants should, in general, be 17-23 years old. This is a guideline rather than a strict limit. NBOs wishing to enter people who are one or two years younger, will be advised to send a group leader whose primary function will be to take special care of these young people. On the other hand, the Youth Committee is prepared to allow older participants, nominated by countries where Junior Bridge is not highly developed. In any case, the standard age limit of 25 years (born on or after 1 January 1981) cannot, of course, be exceeded.

All participants will be lodged in double rooms at the venue.

The cost of full-board accommodation for eight nights is Skr 10,840 (Slovak koruna) per person, payable upon arrival.

There is also an entry fee of €100 per person which - if not paid on site - will be charged to the NBO of the participant after the Camp.

There are no other costs involved, apart from the usual personal ones. Naturally, participants must make and pay for their own travel arrangements, either directly or through their NBO.

The Champ is open to all member countries of the WBF.

Participation is by invitation only. Applicants are requested to submit the full name and the exact date of birth of each participant for consideration by the Credentials Committee. Upon arrival, players will be asked to present their passports for verification of the age eligibility.

All entries will be automatically forwarded to the Zone/NBO of the applicant, and are subject to their approval.

Deadline: Applications submitted after 15 June 2006 will be accepted only if the upper limit of 200 participants has not been reached. Withdrawals of accepted entries must be acknowleged by email to the WBF Youth Committee by the same deadline, to avoid payment of the entry fee.

Accepted entries are automatically guaranteed accommodation at the venue, so there is no need for room reservations.
