MCF invites interested players to apply as non-official/additional players to participate at the upcoming Commonwealth and World Cadets event to be held later this year. As per MCF usual practice, only winners of the various National events such as MCC, NYCC, NJCC, MCC and Seniors events will be given the first option to be selected as official Malaysian representatives to these international editions.

However, taking into consideration that event winners may reject the offer – and to save time, only those registered in the portal will be considered to replace official players should any of them rejected the offer.

All players will be responsible for their own registration and entry fees, flights and traveling costs, including costs of any accompanying persons that will be following them to the event. As accommodation are only provided for official players, non-official or additional players will also have to bear their own board and lodging costs at the event official hotel.
