Practical notes

  • The site is in English and is the official governing-body source, so event details published there carry the BCF's authority.
  • Registration details, entry fees, and eligibility rules are not fully reproduced in the news excerpts — read the full item or follow the "Read More" link for specifics.
  • For anything time-sensitive, such as entry deadlines, confirm against the full announcement rather than the headline summary.
