Hi everyone Unfortunately there are many factors this year that make the women division overall very difficult to arrange and the number of teams ready to commit to the EUCRs is lower than the total bids available at the EUCF. This leads us to the conclusion that we have to skip the qualification stage for the women division this year and focus on having 16 women teams at the EUCF.
We will open the EUCF registration soon and *all women teams interested can register*. If needed we will have similar selection criteria to determine the 16 teams as for the XEUCFs of the past years. Where the number of registered teams is high enough we would be more than happy to still have a high level women tournament, but this will not count as qualifier for the EUCF anymore. If your women team registered in one of the EUCRs, please get in touch with us (off...@ultimatefederation.eu) in any case telling us if you still plan to go or not. The Mixed and Open divisions are still planned as communicated below. *The registration deadline is July 20th (in 2 days!!!)*. Please register your team within the deadline!
