November 2, 2025 - Declaration Lists for all 2025 IBTF Freestyle World Championship/Nations Cup disciplines are attached.

These lists are based upon information received from the declarations. These have been verified by the coarches of the athletes who submitted declarations.

Please review the entire attached document - it contains important information about the entry requirements and qualifying process that will be used to select the Canadian contingent that will participate in the 2026 IBTF World Freestyle & Rhythmic Twirl Championship and Nations Cup being hosted in Paris, France August 3-9, 2026. Please note that there are changes from the previous Canadian Team Trial cycles.

Declarations must be submitted using the online form. Intent to compete forms must be submitted on or before Midnight CDT (adjust for your local timezone) on October 22 2025. The JotForm link for the Intent to Compete Declarations for all athletes is: https://form.jotform.com/252787832168268

These Declarations must also include the $200.00 fee per athlete. This fee is held as a deposit against future Contingent expenses and will be refunded only if the athlete competes at the Canadian Team Trials but is not selected for the Contingent – if the athlete withdraws from participation in the Canadian Team Trials or World Freestyle & Rhythmic Twirl Championship and Nations Cup or does not compete in the event offered at the 2026 CBTF Canadian Championship, the deposit will not be refunded.

An interim report describing the number of declarations received in each discipline/division/level as of October 22, 2025 will be distributed to coaches by October 24, 2025. Changes to the “Intent to Compete” declaration will be accepted up until October 26, 2025 (additions or deletions).

Athletes and Teams that do not submit an Intent to Compete Declaration by the initial deadline of October 22, 2025 for the 2026 Canadian Team Trials may enter disciplines being offered (by the official competition entry deadline), but will be required to pay a late fee of $100 per discipline per athlete for individual/pair events and $300 per team in addition to the standard entry fee. Also, if the $200 deposit (per athlete) has not been paid, this will also be due at the time of entry.
