are you planning to 'enforce' any rules or will you let each country sort it out themselves, within certain parametres for example ??
I'd guess that it'll be up to each country to select their team. I know Team Canadas selection process may be a little Q&A
Q: Are you able to go to the tournament?
A: Yes
Q: welcome aboard 
I'm starting to plan for this early, so hopefully I can make it. |

I imagine Australias selection process will be precisely that above.
A couple of points from somewhere who has never been closer to Europe than Queensland.
- Many of us may well try and billet out with UK BBers to try and save on costs, so the hotel idea, while good in theory, may not work out all that well.
- Go for the better venue! I'm probably going to be paying at least 500 pounds for the flight alone, so an extra 50 for a venue that doesn't involve significant cramping (my nick is Chunky for a reason!) seems like a comparitively good investment.
- There should be some planning to the after hours festivities Much as Blood Bowl is great, I may be more inclined to seeing the local sights (read pubs). Now I know this will happen regardless, but there could be a hell of a lot of sheep to manage. |

I'm there - just let me know when and how much.
Plus I agree with Woody over Spiky Club (if it's available) over WW (and I'm not even that big or tall - how the hell does Valen manage? ). |

As a local to the Spikey venue perhaps I should chuck the following in for you.
a) the venue is actually the Reading Post Office Club. It is very very popular for bookings so act fast if you want it for 4 days. Dave Palmer has been very fortunate to get it for spiky and I think he knows people there in power.
b) the excellent food is cooked by Dave's mum so you wont get that for this event. You will have to think about alternative food provision.
c) Reading is not that much cheaper than London anymore.
d) The pub crawl is okay, but the nightlife is "average". I cant in good faith describe my home town as the centre of all great night life
but
Very handy for World travellers. Heathrow and gatwick are on very good rail connections. If you are ok paying £40 a night (that's what much of the hotel/bbs charge here) and spending a bit on food an beer, then yes, Reading is very easy to get to. |

| I haven't seen any numbers on how MANY coaches for a team. Just so we know how many spots we have to argue over |

| Each team will be formed of 8 coaches. Each team may also be allowed 2 alternates. These alternates are not obligatory. They are extra team members that can swap in with their own rosters to give other team members a break if needed. A team must at the very least though have 8 coaches. |

| Woah! 8 is probably going to be hard to muster from here. I think Doubleskulls is right, expats may need to be tapped for the motherland. |

Can I suggest that the winning team be hosts for the following NAF World Cup?
That's something to play for!
Also, the other thing is, If I'm planning to attend the NAF World Cup in 2011 over the other side of the world, then can it be possible to hold it during common times of less work/study? Around CHristmas or the June/July period most people have less work - and therefore are more available to attend.
Of course, if my first point is agreed to, and Australia win - we'll have to hold it sometime in our summer when people will be freezing their A$$es off in their own countries. |

It has? As far as I know that isn't the intention. Unless I missed a memo |

That's the way the Eurobowl works, not the World Cup. Let's be fair here, it wouldn't be right to expect the colonials to keep visiting the old world every four years ad infinitum would it now?  |
