LFBB is the organizer of the first separate Belgian Senior Championships For the first time in many years, the Belgian Senior Championships are organized separately from the Belgian Youth Championships. This in order to make sure that all inscribing young participants can join this year's edition and also that the Seniors (+35 and above) can have their own privileged tournament that fits their needs.
