he he, you tell them Brian. The real problem is when they'll have to come back to Canada in 2015 cause we're going to win it 2 years in arow.
Ok, I may be getting ahead of myself, but moving it around would be cool. I'm sure different cities in different countries could even bid to host it. I know there would be a huge fight between Montreal and Toronto to host it if (and when) it comes to Canada. My vote, Halifax. Its the best of both places (actually, its just better than both places  ) |

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.
Italy, and probably some other european nations, have many coaches how'll attend to the first world cup.
Could it be an Open tournament? With more than one team each country? |

Does this last sentence mean a team that does not have 8 coaches for a session would be disqualified?
I can see myself going along as alternate and none of the others want a break so I don't play at all, except for the morning on the second day when 5 of the Autralian team wake up after a late night "socialising", decide that Bevan can take their place and go back to sleep. 
Is there any way to allow some variation in team numbers so that all members play but only the best 6 or 8 count for team points? This would allow reserves to play every session (if they want to), but not force every team to have the same number of players, and allow for last minute cancellations due to serious injury or death, without forcing the whole team out. I'm not sure if this can be done if every round is country vs country. |

| Bevan I doubt there will be enough competition for places for you to worry too much about being an alternate. I'm sure we'll work something out that means everyone who goes gets to play. |

No they wouldn't be disqualified. If a team was missing one or more coaches for a single round then their opponent would automatically get the points for the missing matchups. If a team shows up for the event and for a good reason is missing coaches at registration then I'm sure there will be plenty of people on hand to be able to find someone to fill the spots. |

Well, both my brother, and my sister-in-law have visited Oz, and I've watched neighbours for years, so I must qualify?  |

If you have it every 4 yours, you could do the same as the Olympics. A town can apply to host the World Cup and then the presidents and TO's of the NAF visit all the venues to check them out and pick one in the end! |

I think that at this rate we can probably get 8 players. Poor Team NZ on the other hand, will be lucky to get one - but then again they were never big on the medal tally anyway
How about Douglas Maclaine Cross - winner of CanCon 2006? While he may be living in Malaysia - he's an Australian citizen - and a damned good BB player. |

Can poor Team NZ combine with Team Oz?
We have a player from New Zealand (smeborg) who wants to participate. |

Yes NZ can combine with team Oz, there's no problem with that at all. |
