BetVictor Gibraltar Open – Statement

Unfortunately due to bad weather in Gibraltar, certain flights from the UK have been diverted to Malaga. Players travelling on non-British passports and without a Schengen Visa do not meet the Spanish visa entry requirements and therefore have had to fly back to the UK and some will not able to compete in this week’s BetVictor Gibraltar Open.

This affects a relatively small number of players. Their opponents at the tournament will receive a walkover into the second round and these will be confirmed as and when we know that the player is unable to make their match. WPBSA Players representatives are contacting affected players and assisting with alternative plans where possible.
