2007 WCDF - GAYP World Qualifying Tournament 

The 2007 WCDF - GAYP World Qualifying Tournament will be held September 17th - 21st , 2007 (Mon-Fri) at Plaza Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV.  Note that this is a restricted field event. ACF is permitted to send 3 players to each division. All other Federations in good standing (including ICHF) may send two participants per division. Friday is reserved in case a playoff is needed. We plan to host Men's, Women's, and a Youth event. Donations may be sent to Kim Willis, 31 Sandstone Rd, Eldon, MO 65026.  The winner of the Men's and Ladies Tournaments will earn the right to challenge for the World Title.  This event will also decide a World Youth Champion. 

Non-ACF Federations may send two players, provided Federation has WCDF membership in good standing.  We anticipate a financial kickback to assist with meals and lodging, etc.
