The Selection Committee (in conjunction with the NPC) oversees the preparation of teams prior to a championship (coaching, practice matches, etc). After the events they review the Captain’s report and any players’ feedback.
The Selection Committee also provides on-going coaching for Junior squads, co-ordinated by the four squad leaders.
All these activities are managed within the budget provided by the EBU Board.
* These teams have their expenses paid as per the International Funding Policy. Nearly all other events are part funded, with the players themselves, or a sponsor, making up the difference.
