Saturday 20th May : All Africa Pairs – Final A & B –

 Sunday 21st to Saturday 27th May : Mixed & Seniors Round Robin

 Tournament Directors :

 I take this opportunity to remind you all that a Player can be part of one Team during the first week and be part of another Team during the second week. This is up to you. Depending on the results, if your NBO is qualified, a player who qualified in two different Teams will have to choose only one of them when he/she travels to Marrakech. If you have any question about this, please do not hesitate to ask.

 Thank you very much for your attention and good luck in your National Selections

 Kind regards

 Bernard Pascal
