Hi guys,
In order to receive the World Cup 2 - NAF2011, France proposed 2 different sites.
Earlier, OMM said that a choice should be made at the end of March 2010.
Until now, no decision have been taken and we stay without any news from the NAF staff.
We would like to know what to expect in order to establish our planning for 2011.
If you have any trouble taking the decision, maybe you need more information ? In this case, we are both available to serve you.
cheers,
Talkarde and d@z |

We really need some people to show that the NAF has this in hand. We asked for 18 months of notice, now we don't have that. We don't see much in the way of organisation or planning occurring when we were told we would know back in March and have had almost nothing in the way of updates on this front.
If we're not careful people (myself included) won't be confident in the world cup to come (as it costs some of use literally thousands of dollars each just to get there and back, let alone transport, accomodation, Long service leave from work, etc.)
In short, for some of use to get there it's a HUGE deal. We need to see someone move on this, ASAP. (I do recall we had similar problems with the first one until someone stepped in). |

Agree with Babs here: for me to attend means between 2 and 3 K $. I can't afford that on a short notice.

Seriously ... its really simple to me. Communication is a wonderful thing. If OMM cannot communicate on a weekly basis on this event than it falls to the President, Vice President or Tournament Director to make sure a WEEKLY update is made. As Babs said this is a big deal if you want folks to come in from the USA and OZ and Canada ... you cannot do this stuff again to everyone like happened last time.

| Seems pretty simple to me. If you need 18 months' notice and you don't get it, you don't go. I'd be real hesitant to plan an international vacation on spotty info. |

| Due to no real info im unable to go as i have used most of my annual leave up now and wownt be able to get the time off. The way things are looking i cant see the World cup 2 being all that big of an event. IMO it would have been better staying in the same location as last year, would have saved alot of trouble. |

| If there's a problem getting things organised, why have it this year? Why not have it next year (or even the next) to give time to work out all the details? |

Hi All, an update for you.
The event is scheduled for next Autumn as agreed and it will be in Europe as previously said. At this point there are a couple of points just to quickly say:
We have a few bids in and in order to get it right, one or more bids needs to update us on a couple of things. Nothing big, but none the less, we need to be clear.
Also, we have restructed the committee for this and OMM will not be leading the project. I will announce the changes to that shortly.
I understand that some will be travelling a very long way but I can confirm you will need to save Euro's and it is Oct/Nov 2011. Exact dates of course depend on the bid agreed on. This needs to be wrapped up sharpish in my opinion, I agree with comments above. |

Is there a list with all the bids?
My favourite one is still Warhammer World. I can't really think of a better and more suiting location. I personally don't think we have to stick to restricting rules like changing continents or do it in the winning team's country. WC I was such a great event and I'm sure that seeing Warhammer World was another reason to travel big distances. This you won't have in other locations. For similar reasons my 2nd favourite location would be Vegas. As we're all nerdy game addicts, Vegas' charm would also attract many European coaches to fly over there.
Of course this all depends on whether there are local organisers taking charge of it |

There were disadvantages to Warhammer World, the biggest being that we couldn't fit all the attendees in on hall, meaning some (8 or 10) teams per round had to play at a local pub. Now, I'm sure those at the pub didn't mind the location (I didn't mind refereeing there all weekend  ), but it did make the between-round socialising a bit difficult, as many didn't want to make the 10 minute-each-way walk in the gap between rounds.
Personally, from a personal financial perspective, I'd prefer it to be in the UK again, but I'd rather have it in a place where all the coaches can be together (UK or not), rather than in different locations. |

| Vegas would be my preferred location, but I'm saving for it no matter where it is. Hope we can get some further direction on this soon. |

Yeah, seriously, very soon I hope. I am very cautious about making big grand statements on this thread as it has to be clear and precise information.
Vegas was a talking point but no bid came from the USA in any form. I have been to Vegas myself and loved the place so even I hope one day that could be on!
Darkson is also correct about Warhammer World. It is a great venue but players can always go there for the GT each year. We just cannot hold enough players there for the World Cup. |
