Selection to the National Team

It is the policy of CSPA to select the National Team Delegation members one year prior to the year in which the International Competition in question is held. The CNTC will normally make the selection of Team Members at a meeting to be held immediately after the appropriate National Championships. If this is not practical, the selection meeting will be held at a time deemed most appropriate by the Chairperson. The BoD will follow the same procedure for the appointment of other Delegation personnel.
