NYSMBA - ESMBA NATIONALS

The 'Nationals' are the flagship annual open competitions organised by the ESMBA

Members may enter in any or all of 5 disciplines and there is also a Singles event for U18s only

All entrants must instead take part in the relevant "County Championships" to seek qualification

For reports on both the HEATS and the FINALS select one of the following links to the relevant year

Every year there are 64 places available in the National Finals (32 in the Mixed Fours and U18s) and each county may be allocated up to 4 places by the ESMBA Nationals organiser. Each county holding heats is allocated 1 place automatically (provided there are 4 or more entries to the Heats) and the remaining places are allocated dependent upon a formula based on the total entries received nationally. Basically this means that the more entries there are from our county the more likely we are to be allocated additional places.
