Worldwide Junior is a friendly tournament for clubs with kids under 16 years of age. Tournaments will be played on Saturday at 5 pm CET. Time control is 10 + 2 for 2 hours. There are no limits, each team can field as many players as they want, but only 10 best results count for the team score at the end.
The tournament is divided into eight leagues for now. If you are a new team, you start at the bottom League (currently the H). Two teams each week get promoted.

- The most important thing is that the spirit of competition remains friendly.
- Let me know if you'll participate in the next tournament by writing me by as soon as you can!
- The groups should be closed and the captains should know the kids playing, we should all be sure that there are only Under 16.
- New accounts should not participate, especially those created on the day of the tournament but also not those created in the week preceding the competitions.
