WASPA Handbook 2024 - Help needed

Dear friends, you will find here the WASPA handbook for the new season.

See link with the handbook here

There is no major change.

Please can you check the following points of attention?

- If some of your junior players (born in 2008 or later) are not listed in the WASPA junior ranking, you can send his birthdate for our records.

- Page 27: delegates from the nations -> we are open to candidatures for the job of delegate. If you want to promote the WASPA circuit in your country (or region), please send your candidature.

- Page 29 & 30: conditions to be listed in the ranking of clubs. Please confirm if your club is in the right section. If your club is not yet listed, doors are open for new clubs (as part of the "Conference League" for the first season).

- Contacts of clubs (page 32): we try to have a list of the "most active WASPA club" with details of local organizers (e-mail, club website,...). Please can you check if the details of your clubs are correct? If your club is not listed, please send your details by e-mail.

Your feedback is very important so please take a few minutes to help us!

Your ideas to improve the WASPA circuit and to make things better are also more than welcome.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
