Any individual, group, organization, or club may bid to host one or more WFDF events. If you are considering preparing a bid, we kindly ask for initial expressions of interest (EoI) from all prospective bidders/hosts. The details collected during the EoI phase are intended to provide a basic overview of all candidates and to enable WFDF to deal directly in supplying advice, templates, and bid guideline documents.
All information received throughout the event bidding process will be treated with confidence. The EoI is the first phase of the bid process and only those who fill out the online EOI bidding form and submit by the deadline will be invited to proceed to the next stage of the bid process.
- Stage 1 – EoI – Applicants are requested to inform WFDF of their intention to bid PRIOR to midnight CET on the 25th April 2022..
- Stage 2 – Submission – The deadline for submitting completed bids and provisional budget is PRIOR to midnight on the Bid Submission Date in the following “Appendix: Bidding Parameters” for the event for which you are interested in bidding.
- Stage 3 – Review – The bid review process and 2nd round questions/interviews will be carried out throughout the months post submission
- Stage 4 – Appointment/Contract – It is anticipated that the relevant WFDF Sport Committees will select and nominate most suitable candidates before the WFDF Board of Directors formally approve and vote on successful bids which will then be announced by the published “announce date”
Date range
Potential bidders can approach WFDF if they need flexibility or advice on date ranges for these events. We are much more flexible for Continental Championships and smaller events and can advise you based on your location what time of year would be most suitable.. Please consider the weather and venue availability for your location. Event dates might require some manipulation to fit in with venue availability, school holidays and a busy events calendar, so LOC’s are encouraged to present at least three different event dates if possible.
Combined events
WFDF would consider appointing a venue with a combination of more than one event only to an experienced candidate. Bidding candidates are encouraged to bid for one or more events if you would be interested to host one or the other.
Bid Review
Grass and Wheelchair Ultimate event bids will be reviewed by the WFDF Ultimate Events Sub-Committee and by the WFDF Ultimate Committee with final approval upon their recommendation by the WFDF Board of Directors.
Beach Ultimate event bids will be reviewed by the WFDF Beach Ultimate Committee and WFDF Events Team with final approval upon their recommendation by the WFDF Board of Directors.
Disc Golf event bids will be reviewed by the WFDF Disc Golf Committee and WFDF Events Team with final approval upon their recommendation by the WFDF Board of Directors.
