Entry is limited to the best national boats under an established quota based on the number of properly registered boat owners submitted to the SCIRA office by each National Secretary on the dues paid members for that year.
The following formula is used ("Registered Boats" must include: owner's name, address, fleet number and hull number to which the member has paid dues upon):
| Average Number of Registered Boats for the past 2 years | Entries |
| 1–5 | 1 |
| 6–15 | 2 |
| 16–30 | 3 |
| 31–50 | 4 |
| 51–100 | 5 |
| 101–200 | 6 |
| 201–300 | 7 |
| 300+ | 8 |
Additionally, the following skippers have an automatic entry to the championship that is not included in their home country's quota:
- Last World Champion, European Champion, Western Hemisphere & Orient Champion, Women's World Champion and first and second place in the Junior World Championship.
- Any former Commodore Hub E. Isaacks Trophy winning skipper.
- One additional skipper from the host country, providing that it does not have among its other representatives the Junior or Senior World, European or Western Hemisphere & Orient Champion.
- One additional skipper from the host fleet.
If the total entrants do not meet a total of 80 boats, those unassigned entry slots will be re-allocated to a pool of qualified entrants by SCIRA and the organizing authority.[1]

Commodore Hub E. Isaacks and O'Leary Trophies are the main trophies awarded at the Open Snipe World Championship. The Commodore Hub E. Isaacks Trophy is awarded to the fleet of the winning skipper,[93] while the O’Leary Trophy is awarded to the person who crews for the winning skipper in the majority of races sailed in the World Championships.[94]
Another two perpetual trophies are presented in the championship: The Earl Elms Perpetual Trophy is awarded to the fleet of the winning skipper of the final race of the World Championship, and the Bibi Juetz Perpetual Trophy to the highest placing mixed team.
This competition is held every two years in the odd numbered years since the year 1949. Previously, it was held every year since 1934.[95] It is named after Hub E. Isaacs, of Dallas, Texas, first commodore of the Snipe Class International Racing Association (SCIRA), who donated the trophy.
The O'Leary Trophy is awarded since 1961 and it was donated by Cathy O’Leary y Helen O’Leary Hall.[96]
