Registrations for the British & Irish Sports Trophy, 2025

Registration for the British & Irish Sports Trophy, Gemona, Italy will be processed as follows:

- All pilots may register from 15th December at 18:00 UTC (19:00 in mainland Europe)
- BHPA members, with a British (BHPA) Sporting Licence, will be offered places before other nations, in the order of registration*
- Irish pre requisites are as per the IHPA rules
- Other nationalities will receive payment offers around 14 days later. The selection order is according to the method below
- 50% (60 places) are reserved for BHPA pilots until 60 days before the start of the event
- 20% (20 places) are reserved for IHPA (Irish) pilots until 60 days before the start of the event
- 15% (15 places) are reserved for female pilots until 60 days before the start of the event.
- Up to 5 places may be awarded by the BHPA as 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 pilots that registered, in the first instance, according to the order they were put top the waiting list.

After selection of the host nation pilots, the remaining places will be awarded with 50% of the places selected according to WPRS and 50% selected according to Time Registered. The above selection criteria will be adhered to throughout. This rule has been 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 pilot on the list. When you receive an email from us inviting you to pay, you will usually have 7 days to pay before the place is offered to the next pilot on the list.
