2012 European Championship (14): A.Muzychuk, Cmilyte, Kosteniuk, Gunina, Khotenashvili, Danielian, T.Kosintseva, Sebag, Javakhishvili, Hoang Thanh Trang, Melia, Khurtsidze, Pogonina, Kovaonva
2013 European Championship (14): Cramling, Soćko, Girya, Mkrtchian, Kovalevskaya, Kashlinskaya, Atalik, Daulyte, Gaponenko, Arakhamia-Grant, Milliet, Arabidze, Guramishvili, Öztürk

Zone 2.1 (3): Krush, Zatonskih, Abrahamyan
Zone 2.2 (1): Yuan Yuanling (no zonal)
Zone 2.3 (1): Marrero López
Zone 2.4 (1): Cori Tello (no zonal)
Zone 2.5 (1): Luján
Zone 3.1 (1): Zhu Chen
Zone 3.2 (1): Shamima
Zone 3.3 (1): Nguyễn Thị Thanh An
Zone 3.4 (1): Nakhbaeva
Zone 3.5 (4): Wang Jue, Lei Tingjie, Shen Yang, Zhang Xiaowen
Zone 3.6 (1): Berezina-Feldman

Note! FIDE Regulations 3.1.a explicitly grant qualification to both participants of the WWCC 2013 match (one of them is the WWCC 2012 winner), as well as both semifinallists from WWC 2012, but not to the runner-up! It was obviously an erroneous rule. The hadicapped player (Stefanova) luckily qualified by rating so this had no practical meaning whatsoever.
Games played: 202
Competition format: Knock-out
Tie-breaks: none
Time control: 90m/40 + 30/all + 30s/incr.
