The Selection Committee of the IOMFGBA will select a squad for consideration by the CGA IOM for the Gold Coast Australia in 2018. The

European and UK open competitions during the qualifying period, October 2015 - December 2017.
At least 1 of the objectives outlined needs to be achieved during the qualifying period for any athlete to be considered for selection. Having
