I'd really like to come and join in along with at least one of my friends. However, as teachers we can't take the Friday off (especially since it's the last day before the half term holiday). So I have a couple of questions:
1. Is it possible to arrive on the Friday evening and just play in the team event over the weekend? (And what would happen about skills?)
2. Do the points gained on the Friday carry over into the team event? |

When will we be able to purchase tickets?
I have at least one team, and might get up to three teams over denmark.
But I´d hate to start booking flights before I know for sure we can play. |

| Don't know about dates of sales Topper, but positive the dates will not change so there is no harm in booking flights now as they are a bit cheaper. But i would hold off on booking hotels as i think OMM is trying to find an offical hotel which may even be cheaper. |

Well my fear is that we don´t get tickets to the main event, and then it´d suck to have booked flights  |

| Topper, you will have no problem getting tickets as this tourmenent will be able to host well over two hundred coaches. As far as I know tickets will go on sale as soon as the final price is confirmed, which is waiting for catering cost. I'd say get your teams organised and assure your fellow Danes that if they come they will be in. |

Hi Woody-
Well done you and others getting the World Cup off the ground - good boys!
(1) How does registration/ticketing work. Please bear in mind that this is a big issue for those of us planning to come long distance (I'm in New Zealand). We have first to get a team together, make sure we can get off work etc., book flights, and don't want to find that the event is full up before we have got our act together.
(2) I share Bevan's concern at the hybrid Swiss system being used (3 rounds of individual Swiss plus 6 rounds of team Swiss). Never mind deliberate attempts to bend the system (I don't worry about that sort of thing) but the fact that the best individual coaches will (mainly) be in the top teams (and therefore playing each other) must skew the individual championship results quite severely (against those coaches). This can be easily seen after the event in a mismatch between individual standings and NAF rankings, for example. I put this question because I see a real risk of the individual championship being discredited.
All the best
Smeborg |

Not that I am aware - or that has been published Antipixi.
Smeborg -- It would be great to see you here for the WC. I am not part of the organising committee on this, my NAF plate is full with other stuff.
HOWEVER, a NAF meeting agreed that 18 tickets would be held open for each country coming and therefore you will not have a problem. That is unless you leave it stupidly late. You need to bear in mind, this is not a GW ticket sale.... the NAF will decide how to allocate tickets so if you annouce 6 NZ players intend to come then they will be held back as long as feasible for you. |

Hi,
can we have an idiot's guide please? Assume I know nothing about the world cup or the Eurobowl, apart from what I've read on the announcement posting. Idiot's guide could include:
- how do you get a team together, and are there unlimited teams from each country?
- can you come for Fri evening onwards only (although this isn't official yet)
And anything else that might be helpful for any passing eejit 
Ta,
Mike |
