DEVELOPING NATIONS INCENTIVE PROGRAM

1. The Category C Member must be in good standing with the ILS – i.e. all membership fees have been paid to the ILS at the date of the application.

2. Up to 6,000 Euro will be allocated to fund a minimum of three (3) competitors with a minimum of one (1) man and one (1) woman – to participate in the National Teams Open (NTO) Championships at LWC 2024 on Australia’s Gold Coast. 

3. A Category C Member is free to enter more than one (1) man and one (1) woman in its National Team, however funding is to a maximum of 6,000 Euro.  The full 6,000 Euro is therefore only paid if the condition of a minimum of three (3) competitors including a minimum of one (1) man and one (1) woman entered is met.

4. This funding is not available to support entry to the National Team Youth (NTY) Championships at LWC 2024.

5. The 6,000 Euro for each Category C Member is only payable if the three (3) individuals start in at least one individual event in the NTO Championships and is shown in the results list.

6. The 6,000 Euro will be paid electronically by SLSQ to the appropriate Category C Member federation at the conclusion of the NTO Championships.

7. In order to enter the NTO Championships, the Category C Members enter to participate in the NTO with a minimum of three competitors and make their own arrangements for travel and accommodation and will be required to pay the entry fees at registration. 

8. If more than 20 Category C Full Members apply for support from the Developing Nations Program, SLSQ in consultation with ILS will prioritise available support.  Submission of an application does not guarantee funding will be provided.  Applicants will be notified in writing after the submission closing date if their application has been successful or unsuccessful.
