Complete regulations for the events will be published here shortly but the initial regulations are given below

• • The ranking is for partnerships, not for players or whole teams. A player can therefore appear in several partnerships, if playing with different partners in different Tour events.
  • Players qualifying for TRPs must be, or become, registered in the WBF database.
  • Both Teams and Pairs events are included.
  • Only “face-to-face” events can be included. They can be organised by the WBF, Zonal Conferences, NBOs or others (but then, typically, at least sanctioned by an NBO).
  • The only “new” event in the calendar will be the WBT Finals.
  • Team events will have minimum playing requirements for each partnership to receive TRPs.
  • As of 2024 WBT Events will also be eligible for a certain allocation of WBF Master Points, and a sanctioning fee (still to be determined) will be levied once the WBT goes live in 2024.

  The events must:

  • not be limited by gender or age.
  • be open to all members in good standing of a WBF affiliated NBO.
  • have a significant participation of foreign partnerships.
