With 450 applicants some challenging decisions had to be made in conjunction with the Chief Referees to appoint the teams who will conduct the Championships. The ILS Sport Commission wishes to congratulate all those listed on their appointments which, through the hard work in particular of Mr Jelle Meintsma, the ILS Sport Commission Secretary, can be published just less than 1 year out from the start of LWC 2024.
