Registrations for the British & Dutch Championship 2023

- All pilots may register from 17th January, at 18:00 UTC (19:00 in mainland Europe)
- BHPA members with a British Sporting Licence will be offered places before other nations, in the order of registration*
- Dutch pilots will also receive the same payment benefits of the British pilots
- Other nationalities will receive payment offers around 14 days later, mainly in the order of WPRS, with some exceptions, below
- 15% (21 places) are reserved for female pilots until 45 days before the start of the event.
- Up to 10 places are reserved for wildcards
- The organisers reserve the right to vary the above method at their discretion at all times

*Section 7 rules dictate only a maximum of 75% of places can be offered to the host nation at the outset. We will therefore offer the first 70 British pilots that registered, in the first instance, according to the order they were put top the waiting list. 30 places will be reserved for Dutch pilots. A further 5 places will be offered by Wildcard allocation.

# The first 50% of the places are selected according to WPRS. Any remaining places will be selected according to Time Registered. The above selection criteria will be adhered to throughout. This rule was new for 2022, and was put in place to allow lower ranked, but keen, pilots the opportunity to participate.

Your place at the competition is not confirmed until we have received your payment. The Pilot Lists show the current status of your registration.

Once the competition is full, pilots will be added to a waiting list and then if a place becomes available it will be offered to the next highest ranked pilot on the list. The pilot will receive an email from us inviting them to pay their entry fee and will have 1 week to do so before the place is offered to the next highest ranked pilot on the list.
