Trip Costs/Athlete Contributions
As travel and accommodation costs have increased in the current climate, we have had to increase the travel and administration costs to reflect this. The costs now are:

  • Team Manager/Coach Contribution: £75
  • Referee Contribution: £125. Each Junior World Cup squad of 5 or more will re-quire one referee, and each squad of 10 or more will require two referees (or a 1000 euro fine per missing referee). Through the ADP, BF will subsidise the additional costs of fines/travel where needed. Rules around referee quotas and fines can be found on the FIE website (o.25 and o.31).
  • Accommodation: £75/night (generally at least two nights, based on sharing).
  • Administration: £25
  • Additional ADP Coach: £0 (approx. £75 per head subsidy by BF where a coach is provided).
