We believe the following countries are eligible to enter official teams in the ENCC 2009:
MEN – Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Gibraltar, Greece, Iceland, Isle of Man, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, FYR Macedonia, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey and Ukraine.
WOMEN – Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Gibraltar, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Isle of Man, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, FYR Macedonia, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Sweden, Turkey and Ukraine.
MNAs may enter a maximum of two official men’s teams and two official women’s teams. The teams must be independent of each other and players are not interchangeable between the teams. Any squad arriving with less than three eligible players will not be allowed to take part in the Championships.
A player is eligible to represent a Country in the Championships only if he/she meets the ESF eligibility rules as follows:
1. if he/she has not represented another country, in a recognised international squash team event in any age group, in the 36 months preceding the Start Date and
2. if he/she represents:
(i) the Country of his/her birth or
(ii) the Country in which he/she is a citizen or
(iii) the Country in which he/she has been resident for a minimum of three years immediately preceding the Start Date.
A properly qualified player, who has once represented a Country in a recognised international squash team event, shall be eligible to represent that Country thereafter, until such time as he/ she exercises a qualification to represent another Country, thus making him/her no longer eligible under Rule 1 or 2.
In all cases where a player's eligibility is in doubt, it is obligatory upon the MNA for which the player wishes to play, to prove eligibility to the satisfaction of the ESF Officers before the Start Date.
