What the W.A.L.G. Roll of Honour Includes

Updated

The W.A.L.G. Roll of Honour is the section of walg.org that records long-term achievement and participation in the organisation. According to the site's navigation, it covers five recognition categories: Emeritus Life Members, Life Members, World Champions, Twenty Tournament Attendees, and Ten Tournament Attendees. The full Roll of Honour is reached from the main menu on walg.org.

The recognition categories

Category What it appears to recognise
Emeritus Life Members A distinguished tier of life membership
Life Members Individuals granted life membership
World Champions Winners of W.A.L.G. world championship titles
Twenty Tournament Attendees Players who have attended twenty tournaments
Ten Tournament Attendees Players who have attended ten tournaments

The site lists these categories as separate headings under the Roll of Honour but does not publish the criteria, nomination process, or eligibility rules for any of them on the page reviewed. If you need the exact conditions — for example, whether attendance must be consecutive or whether a World Champion entry covers every title — those details are not available from the homepage content alone.

Why the Roll of Honour matters

The Roll of Honour serves two purposes visible from the site structure. First, it preserves institutional memory: the same navigation block also links to W.A.L.G. History, Countries History, Policy & Decisions, and Minutes, so the Roll of Honour sits alongside the organisation's formal record-keeping. Second, it gives long-serving players a visible milestone. The Ten and Twenty Tournament Attendees categories turn repeated participation into something the organisation formally acknowledges, not just a personal tally.

A practical example: a player approaching their tenth W.A.L.G. tournament can use the Ten Tournament Attendees list to see how that milestone has been recorded for others, and a member researching the organisation's past champions can start from the World Champions list rather than searching tournament pages one by one.

Where to view the full Roll of Honour

Open walg.org and use the main navigation. The Roll of Honour appears as its own heading in the site menu, with the five categories listed beneath it. Related records — tournament history, guidelines, and resources — are under the separate Tournaments heading, and tournament photos have their own page linked from the menu.

If a name or category seems missing, note that the site presents the Roll of Honour as a set of lists rather than a searchable database; checking the relevant category page directly is the most reliable way to confirm an entry.
