FFBAD BAC 1: Qualified Candidates & Replacements

BAC1 will take place in Bourges from September 19 to 21. The list of qualified and replacements is now available: BAC1

Following a decision resulting from a consultation with the vice-presidents in charge of competitive practices (Adeline Sergeant) and high performance (Thierry Stempfel), the number of places open in the tables of SH and SD Ben1 go from 32 to 48.

It appeared important to us, with regard to the strong enthusiasm observed this season for Ben1 registrations, to expand the number of places available in this category.

This decision is aimed at:

  • Do not restrict the arrival of young people on the Elite Jeunes circuit for 6 months (before bac2),
  • Give a more chance to a greater number of players, regardless of their historic CPPH Poussin,
  • Support the growing territorial dynamics.

This development is fully in a view of flexibility at the service of players, without negatively impacting other age categories or the global competitive format.

It has also been validated by the judge-referee of the competition and taken into account in the realization of the schedule.

It will be integrated into the regulations this season and perpetuated for the following seasons.

This adaptation is only worth for BAC1, due to the 8 qualified by the bac for the CEJ1 in Ben1.
