A decision will be made by the World Council following receipt of all Championship bids.

Any club who would like to submit a bid for a championship but is located outside of Europe should contact the ILCA office before proceeding.

The World Laser Standard Senior Championship and the World Laser Radial Women's Championship in 2012 will be the last Olympic Games qualifying event for most Countries. This would make it the most important regatta of the sailors 4 year Olympic Campaign.

A successful bid would be either from a host club that could cater for both championships or from a group of host clubs in the same area, that could cater for both championships. Grouped championships could run all within one week or over any number of successive weeks, with or without time in between the championships. Where a group of host clubs propose to work together, the distance between clubs will be taken into consideration as the economic and time costs involved in transporting boats between clubs may affect the maximum use of consecutive charters. The responsibility of transporting charter boats between venues lies with the host clubs and should be included in any budget calculation. Also, it is not viable for charter boats to be left for any extended period of time in between the championships.
