The UK National Finals take the best players from across the qualifiers to establish who are the best players for each game in the Nation.

Tournament registrations will open Wednesday 21st May at 10:00 until Monday 16th June at 18:00. You must be a UK Passport holder, as the overall winners will represent the UK at the Grand Final in Cologne, Germany in November.
Once registrations have closed matches will be scheduled over six weeks in June and July and placed online so you can see when you will have matches to play.
