lol at this not being anywhere on the website.

The Istanbul cutoff is 1984 or after, so I'm going to assume it's the same.

Seems strange to have it on at the same time as another junior event (Peggy Bayer and Junior Camrose), so definately can't play (not going to try and get internet access at 4am GMT or whatever it is)

i have been getting questions from juniors to whom i sent this site about registration. it asks for the wbf player codes of the players, what about juniors who are not members?
or are they automatically members if they are members of their national federations?
where can they find their wbf player codes?

Again, I'm not sure... My partner is also not a WBF member... If you have an ACBL # I beleive it is that, with the number replacing the letter, otherwise, I don't know. Maybe Jan Martel might know more?

There are two categories: Under 26 (formerly, Juniors) and Under 21 (formerly, Schools).

The term youth refers to both these categories.

Hope this helps...

Ahh, ok. Well, I'm open for partnerships (Can play in the later session on the 21st, and the finals), with the caveat that I've never had any contact or involvement with WBF, have no clue what my player # is, etc. I would like to participate though as 2009 is my last year as a junior under WBF rules...

My understanding (which may be inaccurate) is that you can just register with the WBF as part of your rights as an ACBL member. I'm not sure how to get the form, Jan Martel sent it to me a little while ago.

Also my WBF code and ACBL number have nothing to do with each other.

I don't know what a person's WBF number is - it isn't your ACBL number. I think it just gets assigned the first time you play in a WBF event. I also don't know where on the WBF website to find the "Registration Form" that we were asked to have all of our Junior players fill out before Beijing. I think that if you fill that form out and email it to WBF, they'll give you a number. I do know that as an ACBL member you are a WBF member - ACBL pays WBF dues for all of its members.

Because I can deal with the USBF website better than I can with the WBF website, I put the Registration Form on the USBF website. It's an Excel document. You can download it from the USBF website. Complete it and follow the instructions to email it and hopefully you'll get a WBF number.

If you've ever played in a WBF event and need to find your number, you can do that by going to the WBF masterpoints site. There you can enter your name and find out what your number is.

CET is GMT+1 in winter and GMT+2 in summer. GMT does not have daylight savings.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.
