BRITISH TOURNAMENT CALENDAR 2020 AND COVID-19

Tournament Calendar July 2020

In our communication at the beginning of April we said that a decision about our June calendar of events would be made at the end of April. The Tournament Committee has reluctantly reached the conclusion that it is unlikely that any Government easing of lockdown restrictions will facilitate sports activities involving travel and gatherings of many people over the May and June.

While we are all looking forward to getting back on the water and all competitions resuming as soon as possible we have a duty to ensure the safety of skiers and officials participating in any sanctioned events.

Consequently, the TC have decided that all sanctioned events of the calendar for June will be cancelled.

This decision has been communicated to the organisers of the scheduled events who have confirmed their understanding and that they will reimburse any entry fees paid.

As far as the Combined National Championships are concerned, we said that a decision would be made at the end of May and this remains the case.

We will review the July calendar at the end of May.

World and European Championships

    The IWWF have already announced the postponement of the World U17 and 35+ Championships until 2021.

    The E&A Waterski Council have said that decisions about European Championships will be made 60 days before the events are due to take place.
