Important Information:

Guidelines: These lists are guidelines only. Players are expected to know their rankings. If you wish to dispute a ranking or are not ranked and should be, contact Nigel using the contact us tab.
Rankings: Players ranked as Intermediate in VNEA are ranked as Masters for WCVNEA and must play in the Masters division.
No Drop Downs: WCVNEA does not allow drop downs, so players must play at their ranking level or higher. All players can compete in a higher division than they are listed.
Player Placement: Any player who hasn’t played in WCVNEA Championships in the last 3 years, or entries of known Intermediate, Advanced, or Masters ability may be placed in a higher division at the discretion of the Tournament Committee. The committee retains final discretion in all cases regarding the placement of individuals and teams in the various divisions.
Advancement: Individuals or teams that finish in the top 10% or 1st and 2nd place (whichever is higher) during the WCVNEA Championship Tournament will be advanced to the next level of play.
Moving Up Divisions: After being moved up to a higher division, if an individual does not win any prize money (exception: Mini’s, Scotch Doubles & Sportsman) for the next two years, they may have the opportunity to return to the next lower division (see notes below).
Request to Drop Down: Any player who places 1st or 2nd in their respective singles division must wait 5 years before requesting to be dropped down. Any player listed on a team that places 1st or 2nd in their respective division must wait 3 years before requesting to drop down.
Responsibility: It is the player's responsibility to enter themselves into the appropriate division. Any player playing in the wrong (lower than their ranking) division, whether in singles or teams, will be disqualified from play and forfeit all monies won. In team events, the team will be disqualified from play and forfeit any monies won.
