Addendum to Information Bulletin No. 1: 16 and Under (16U) Classes

The IDBF has not included the Junior 16 and Under (16U) Classes in the official program as there was uncertainty regarding the participation of three or more nations.

However, if there are sufficient nations expressing interest in forming this age category, it will be included in the championship program.

Therefore an action from IDBF members is required as follows:

• All nations with Junior 16 and Under teams are invited to submit a pre-entry form to the Chair of the Competition and Technical Commission (C&TC) at the email address chair-ctc@dragonboat.sport, with a copy to the IDBF Secretary General at the email address general-secretary@dragonboat.sport on or before 15th February 2025.
• The final confirmation of the 16 and Under (16U) classes will be announced after this deadline, based on the number of pre-entries received.
