TEAM POINTS

TCAF has recognized the importance of optimizing our team for the upcoming 2027
World Championships. To ensure the selection of the strongest team possible, we have implemented a points system for our events.


Our team-building strategy involves utilizing

1) WAF World Championship

2) NAAF Championship

3) *Canadian National Championship

4) Qualifier/ Fundraisers we will be hosting in Canada.

​

Each athlete who participates in any of these events automatically secures a place on the team roster. The only way an athlete can be replaced is by being defeated at the table and by the challenger accumulating more or an equal number of points.


With 306 categories available at the WAF Championships, we have the potential to
assemble a team consisting of up to 612 athletes.

 

This comprehensive approach aims
to assemble a formidable team capable of competing at the highest level on the world
stage in 2027. (a complete list of WAF classes is available on the TCAF website)

​

* Canadian National Championships will be held in 2025.
