The event will comprise the 56th European Team Championships and these Championships will consist of four categories: Open Teams, Women’s Teams, Seniors’ Teams and Mixed Teams. All events will end on Thursday 4th of July 2024.

All four Championships will be played as a single complete round robin. The number of boards played in each match will be determined and published when the number of participants is known. The Open Championship will be played over 11 days, and the Women’s, Seniors’, and Mixed Championships will be played over 7 days.

The Championships will also include the 12th European Women’s Pairs Championship and the 10th European Seniors’ Pairs Championship as National Pairs competitions. It is anticipated that these Pairs Championship will consist of two stages: a Qualifying Stage, and a Final Stage (Final A and Final B). However, should the number of participants permit, there will be a one stage all-play-all competition. Details of the competition format may be changed according to the final registration of participants.

Would any pairs interested in representing Wales at any of these events contact the Chief Executive or the WBU Selectors by the 12th January 2024. Players must be deemed to be “in good standing” by the WBU and EBL.

The WBU Management Committee have indicated that there will be no central funding available to support any of the teams playing in the National Teams Championships.
