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. 

How To Make A Bid For E&A Titled Event

Federations may bid for such events up to six years in advance of the date proposed for the event.
Bids must be submitted to the EC President with copies to the Secretary General and the President of the Council concerned.
To be considered at an Annual Congress full bids should arrive at least 30 days beforehand.
Bids for events within three years shall be submitted to the same persons with the same information as below for approval by the Bureau or by the Admincom.
 
Bids shall be in writing and should be supported by the following:

1. Confirmation the Letter of Agreement and Obligations will be honoured
2. Proposed site with maps and pictures. In case of a new site, dates and information of previous homologated competitions held at that site. The relevant Council must confirm that the site is suitable.

The decision on whether to accept or reject the bid shall be made by the Admincom. Unless detailed and approved when the bid is awarded, there shall be no charge under 8) and 9) and no change under 10). Only upon approval of the bid by the relevant Council, the Bureau of the EC will either  countersign the LAO or negotiate proposed exceptions to the LAO. Any contract entered into by the organiser before the LAO has been signed and returned by the EC shall be at the organisers own risk.
