As we already had the first emails and questions about the 2026 edition, we got a date for you… Saturday the 31st of January 2026! The location remains unchanged, and we will share more news in the upcoming months, for now, make sure to mark your calendar in red so you don’t forget!
The first photo sets have just been placed online of the 2025 edition of the Open Dutch Championships, make sure to find yourself, share the pictures and of course, tag the Open Dutch account!
If we discover more public sets we will share them here!
For those who never visited the venue or the tournament, below you can find a map of the sports hall. Please note, although the venue is huge, only active competitors and coaches are allowed in the ring and are guided to the appropriate ring from the “Holding Area” by a volunteer. Spectators are not allowed to enter the competitor’s area, and can watch the matches from the stands upstairs! Please familiarize yourself with the map.
This is the moment many of you have been waiting for! The draws are available online. The timetable (estimation!) can be found here. As you can see, we have a very packed agenda again, so make sure to listen to the announcers and watch the screens! When your group comes up, please go to the appropriate designated holding area. We cannot afford to wait for competitors, so listen carefully and watch the screens closely!
Coaches and competitors, please note the following times for the weigh-in and the height check on Friday and Saturday! A declaration of consent and data protection is mandatory for each competitor (see the last page of the invitation), the form needs to be handed in at the verification and weigh-in/height check on the 24th or the 25th of January 2025. Please weigh-in, if possible, on Friday to avoid long queues on Saturday!
Every competitor needs to hand in the declaration of consent and data protection form, so please make sure to do this on Friday between 18:00 and 20:00 or on Saturday between 7:15 and 8:15. This applies to everyone who wants to participate, regardless of age. If you are a minor, your parents (or legal guardian) will have to sign the agreement as well.
The competition will start at 9:15, we will start on time, and we will not extend the weigh-in time slot so make sure to be there on time! We do not make any exceptions!
