RIBSA / EBSA International Tour

At the end of the three qualifying days, the bottom three players are relegated into the Open Tour while the top 3 on the open tour are promoted to the elite tour for the IBSF qualification.

There will be no International Tour prize money or trophies as all the Entry fees will be added to the players grant towards the players playing in the upcoming International championships.

All juniors can qualify

All juniors also have a chance to qualify for the EBSA International events through the Senior Rankings as RIBSA will give the highest ranked junior on the senior ranking a qualifying spot for the Championships. This is to encourage more juniors to compete in the senior events.

If the senior rankings highest junior is the same player who qualifies from the International Tour Rankings then the International Rankings will choose the next qualified player.
