Titled Events (Confederation Championships)
A titled event is one for which the Letter of Agreement and Obligations for Titled Events forms a contract between the host Federation and the IWWF European Confederation.
Although the Confederations of Europe and Africa are separate entities, for the time being the European Confederation organises E&A Championships with possible participation of African athletes.
Should a site inspection be required by the Council concerned, the Council will appoint a person to inspect and report on the site. Their travel and accommodation costs shall be the responsibility of the Federation bidding for the event.
