All players are invited to apply. Players may enter in the usual way through their National Federations (NF) or, where eligible, directly to the match organizer. Entry is free of charge.

After creating possibility to register through ICCF webserver (see New Events) number of entries increased significantly. That’s great!

Several players entered few months ago and it is important for match organizer to be sure that their entries are still valid.
