Entry forms are now available on the USBF website <www.usbf.org> for the two Junior Trials being held in Las Vegas in July. To enter either event, the captain must first join USBF, although you do not have to pay dues to enter these events. Just click on "Join" in the upper margin of the USBF website and fill out the membership form. Then log in and on the User Menu click on "Enter 2008 Junior Trials" to enter the trials for the Junior World Championships in Beijing in October, or on "Enter 2008 FISU Trials" to enter the trials for the FISU games in Poland in September. For the WBF event, players must have been born in 1982 or later. For the FISU event, players must have been born between 1980 and 1990 and must have been associated with a recognized college or university in 2008 (2008 graduates are okay; almost every institute of higher education in the US is okay). More information is available on the USBF website - just click on 2008 Junior Trials or 2008 FISU Trials under the Main Menu.
