Today December 1, we reached deadline for bids for WCDF. Yet we have one intentional bid but more details are coming and will be reviewed, discussed and finalized by the end of 2025 year.
Here is what we have so far:
1) SDA (Scottish Draughts Association), IDA (Irish Draughts Association) and EDA (English Draughts Association) submitted combine bid for WCDF events and British Open.
2) City - Stonehaven, Scotland
3) Dates:
British Open - September 9-14, Wednesday - Sunday
WCDF 3-moves WQT,
WCDF 3-moves Woman World Championship,
WCDF GAYP Youth World Championship
September 14-17, Monday - Thursday
World Blitz, September 18
Place to play - The Town Hall
36 Allardice Street, Stonehaven, AB39 2BU
Stonehaven, Scotland
Main Referee will be local and name provided later.
All details regarding hotel and transportation also will be finalized in the next couple weeks.
I would strongly recommend all federations and national bodies, start working on nominations and visa processing without waiting last minute to July or August. We also will have deadlines for federation:
mid May - provide us number of attendees in each category
mid June - provide us names of players.
Respectfully yours,
WCDF Secretary

The WQT + British Open is due to start, anyone know if there’s a website going to cover the games and cross tables

Twoblackcheckers, welcome to the ACF Forum. The best place to "check" is the English Draughts page on Facebook.

If there is a link to streaming the WCDF World Qualifier Tournament, it would be announced on the English Draughts FB page.
Also, results & etc. are typically posted on the English Draughts FB page.
