The calendar lists the events the CBAI or IBU is planning and those others (congresses etc) we have been notified about, and is updated to include 2025/26. If you are planning a congress or similar open competition in 2025/26 and it is not listed, please let us know and we will add it to the calendar.
Unless otherwise advised, start times for CBAI and IBU competitions will be 13:00 on Saturdays and 11:00 on Sundays, and entry fees will be €12.50 per person for single-session events, €25 per person for two-session events, and €50 per person for most of the three-session events, including IBU events. Saturday two-session events will have a long meal break (at least an hour) halfway through but Sunday two-session events may have a shorter break, so please prepare accordingly. The break times will depend on playing numbers, and will be at the TD’s discretion, so it may not be possible to provide specific timings in advance.
