The official competitor list for the Masters World Championship 2026 Driewegen has been finalized!

We are incredibly moved by the overwhelming interest from athletes seeking to fill spots following recent withdrawals. However, no further invitations will be extended.

This policy ensures that every athlete competing at the 2026 Masters World Championship is ranked among the world's elite. The Board of Directors maintains that backfilling divisions with less-qualified athletes or awarding spots based on geographic proximity would compromise the prestige and integrity of what it means to compete for a World Championship title.

Athletes, please remember that all information for the games will be continually updated in the document found at https://bit.ly/MWC2026AthleteInfo

Please join us in congratulating those who have earned an invitation to compete with the best!

Fake group. We see this group has 900+ members. It was NOT setup by SAI nor the host for MWC 2026. So any posted information in that group cannot and will not be verified. Please ignore everything from that group.

At SAI we got a chance to help make this happen. It went well beyond what we imagined it could do. The NASGA team is building transparency with data even beyond what we are attempting.

Our sport deserves this effort and implementation.

If you want your historical regional scores uploaded to this database, reach out to the team. You can also just upload to NASGA after each even and contact your regional website's admin and have them pull from NASGA. Singe source of truth while maintaining regional information, clarity, and independence.

Round 3 is completed. A final round went out of athletes that met these criteria.

- did not respond previously
- are in a class with less than 12 athletes (which is about half)

We still have 170 athletes registered which is on par with the 2 previous years and we think might be the most for a European based MWC.

06/03/2026

So if you are one of these, or know one, please reach out to them. Have them email us at [email protected].

By having them email us we also confirm that it is an actual working email where forms used in the past there was no validation method and many emails were non functioning due to spelling errors.

Round 3 invites end Friday at Midnight UTC so let's help these athletes get their invites.
