Members of Brussels Gay Sports (BGS) register via the "Members" area of the BGS website. You can access it with your email address and your password.

The participants that are NOT members of BGS must use the "Registration Brussels Games" access on this webpage and follow the following procedure:

1. Complete the required data on the first page, then click ‘Next’.

This will automatically create a user account which will allow you to change your registration later. Warning: your email will be your login. Hence, it is preferred to have a different email address per participant. This is mainly of importance for all housing demands!

2. Choose your activity on the next page, then click ‘Next’.

3. Select the desired additional events: the BGS Party, the brunch, the tour of Brussels and accommodations by adding comments, then click ‘Next’.

4. On this page, you can either change your registration by clicking on ‘EDIT’, or add another person to the same registration if you pay the orders/registrations together. In this case, click ‘ADD’ and follow the steps 1 to 3 once more.

Remember, once confirmed, you can no longer remove your choices!

5. You will receive an automatic confirmation by email (don’t forget to check your spam inbox as well!) with payment instructions. Once the payment made, your registration will be completed (no pay = no play).

Important note concerning the lodging

If the person accompanying a participant of the tournament does not play any sport, he or she must register by selecting 'no sport' in step 2 or unmark sport in step 3. In order to be housed together, he or she must buy a housing product, to which he may add an accompanying person ticket (Saturday lunch), a ticket for the party and/or brunch. Only when this is performed will the request be accepted. Do not forget to indicate the name of your partner in the ‘Remarks’ box in step 3!

I want to change my registration

You can still access your data with your login and password via http://members.bgs.org/login.php – both for BGS members and other participants. You will then find yourself at step 3 (the activities selection) of the registration procedure. Be careful! Any change in registration will only be possible until the closing date of registration! After that date, only the coordinators of the tournament will be able to change your registration, and only in exceptional cases.

You can also add tickets for the BGS party and for the brunch to your listing. Of course, tickets will only be issued upon receipt of payment of such activities.

I would like to be lodged with my partner but he or she does not participate in any of the sport activities

Request for lodging is only valid when you participate in at least one of the activities (sports, party, brunch). Whenever your partner does not join a sports activity, he or she is asked to register for the housing product. He can also add the accompanying person ticket (Saturday lunch), the party and/or brunch. Do you like to be lodged together? Then please write the name of your partner under remarks.

I want to buy tickets for the BGS party and for the brunch or tour but without signing up for a sport

You can buy tickets for the party, the brunch and the guided tour through the same online form as for the sports at: http://brusselsgames.bgs.org/en/registration/brusselsgames. Make sure that you do not select any sport in the form, only the desired tickets. Of course, tickets will only be issued after receipt of payment for these activities.

I would like to benefit from the lunch on Saturday as I am accompanying a person who is participating to the sports games.

YA special ticket has been created for you. You just have to validate ‘accompanying person’ ticket during the registration. The procedure is identical to that mentioned above for the people only interested in the party or brunch tickets.

I want to buy tickets for the BGS party only, without signing up for a sport or other activity

We opened registration for the BGS party especially for people from Brussels: http://brusselsgames.bgs.org/en/registration/party. Of course, tickets will only be issued upon receipt of payment.

Bank transfer from my country is very expensive

By using TransferWise you can save money compared to the bank. Only upon your request we can accept cash payment during the welcome party on Friday evening. You will not benefit from the +-20% automatic discount though. Without your specific request, your registration will not be validated.

I want to cancel my subscription

Under the terms of registration, you will be refunded up to a specific percentage of your payment depending on the date of your cancellation. Please contact brusselsgames@brusselsgames.be if you would like to cancel your registration.
