The British Octopush Association published a statement on its Facebook page on Wednesday 25 January 2023, in which it announced changes to the dates of the National Finals and Junior Nationals.
Big changes in the British calendar. Originally scheduled for 10th and 11th June 2023, the National Finals will now be held on a single day, 27th May 2023, at the John Charles Centre for Sport in Leeds. The British Octopush Association has announced that this change is « due to unforeseen circumstances outside of the control of the BOA« . A postponement which could be problematic for many players as this date is the same as the first day of the French Division 1 Round 3. Unless there is another change, they will have to choose between their British and French teams.
In this statelement, the British Federation also announced the postponement of the Junior Nationals, originally planned for 22nd July, they will be held on 1st July 2023.
