- I’ve seen that there are different entry fees for titled and non-titled players. Who are titled players?
A Titled player is a player with any of the EBL or a WBF titles [as of Dec 31, 2024].
WBF titles: WGM (World Grand Master), WIM (World International Master), WLM (World Life Master), WM (World Master)
Please note that Youth World Masters are not included in this list and will benefit of the discounted entry fee.
EBL titles: EGM (European Grand Master), EIM (European International Master), EM (European Master).
Checking both the EBL and WBF People Finder can help you to find out if a player is or is not Titled

Sure! We have opened an official Partnership Desk. Check it out here: http://www.eurobridge.org/partnership-desk/

No, it’s not possible as the EBL is charging fee for the whole week package.
