I can see where you’re going with this and think it’s a good idea but please could you/The Committee clarify :
When you say “must have done at least 2 domestic events in the YEAR preceding the deadline date” do you mean ‘Calendar Year’ or 12 Month Period, i.e. if say I Line Judged at 2 x domestic’s in May and July 2023, does that cover me to apply for any Europeans throughout the whole of 2024 … or only up until the end of July 2024??
It is 12 months prior to the “Deadline Date”, so if the deadline is 31/3/24, then 2 local events between 31/3/23-31/3/24.
I hope that makes sense and is clear.
Quick follow up question : some events are “International” in terms of players but ‘Domestic’ in terms of location. For example, how would you classify these two events from 2023 : 1 – The All England JUNIOR in Birmingham : 2 – The World Team QUALIFYING in Milton Keynes : Do either/both count towards the “must have done at least 2 domestic events in the year preceding the deadline date for application for that event” rule??
You raise an interesting question, so the Committee will discuss it at our Committee Meeting at the end of January and provide a more detailed and definitive criteria.

Dear Andrew,

I hope that makes sense and is clear.

Thanks! …. {PS : Para Four Nations in Sheffield might be another one worthy of your discussion?!}
