Important FPAW2007 Updates

With less than two weeks until the FPA World Championships, there are a few important changes and announcements:

REGISTRATION

You MUST be pre-registered. In fact, you must complete your registration by 5pm on June 20. For your registration to be complete, both your FPAW entry fee and your FPA membership must be paid.

TEAM SIGN-UPS

The deadline for team sign-up is June 20 at 5pm (17:00). Final registration will take place at Bloemendaal beach on Wednesday, June 20 between 15:00 and 17:00. All members of your team must have a complete event registration in order to sign up the team. No partial team sign-ups will be considered when making the pools.

Late sign-ups, partial sign-ups and teams that change members will be seeded into the qualifying round. If there is no qualifying round (this is 99% unlikely), these teams will be seeded normally but will play first in their pool.

JUDGING SYSTEM

Everyone will be asked to judge. Please make sure you are familiar with the FPA Judging System (English PDF). New judges should learn as much as you can. Don’t worry. There will be experienced judges with you. Ask them questions.

OPEN PAIRS QUALIFYING ROUND

Based on the number of team sign-ups, there will be a qualifying round. In Amsterdam, the top 16 seeded teams will advance automatically to the Prelim. The remaining teams will play the qualifying round for 16 additional Prelim spots. 32 teams will play in the Prelim round. This is a little different from the procedure in the Competition Manual. The FPA Competition Committee voted to make this change for Amsterdam because of the high number of teams.

CO-OP FINAL

The Co-op final will include eight teams rather than the traditional six.

MIXED PAIRS


There will be three rounds in Mixed Pairs, to reflect this unique division that has few teams but a high level of competition. The first round will be a two-pool semifinal. The top two teams from each semifinal will advance to the finals. The second round will be a B-Final. The top two teams from the B-Final will advance to the final. The third round will be the six-team final.

I LAZZARONI

Hi everyone!

After a huge amount of work, Iím glad to send all the jammers of the world the official invitation to:

” I LAZZARONI”

Ist international frisbee freestyle tournament, San Lazzaro di Savena (BOLOGNA)

The greatest part of you probably knows everything about our project, but for those who didnít have the chance to talk with me or AlÏ hereís a summary of what itís all aboutÖ

The tournament will take place in a football field in the Parco della Resistenza in San Lazzaro di Savena, but if the weather will be bad, weíll have the possibility to play indoor in the Sport Center. The tournament will last two days and will include both OPEN and COOP divisions. There will be a party with a musical surprise and you will receive different funny gadgets offered by Twister Hills Bologna with the help of our large number of sponsors.

The fee to participate is 15Ä, a symbolic contribution to our association because I can assure you that what you will receive will be largely more than your fee value.

We didnít know whether we wanted to introduce a participation fee or not, but I think this is one of the few incomes that our association can have and since we are only a few people and weíll need the help of other people too, the participation fee will allow us to have some extra services.

Iím sure you will understand my point and Iíd like to remember you the web site where you can find all the information, our debated VIDEO, the official Frisbee of the event, etc.:

www.freestylebologna.wordpress.com

We sincerely hope to see you all and I believe that only seeing you happy and satisfied after our event will repay all of our ìeffortsî. Our dream is to share two days with the people who inhabit this ìstrange but fantastic worldî and, only together with you, we can make ìour worldî a little bit more visible.

I hug you all and ask you to send me your confirmation of participation so that I can organize the sleeping places: they are all free but those who send their confirmation late will have to sleep in tents.

See you soon and thanks!

Manuel.

How do the pros stay fit?

Other than jamming, which I have found to be pretty demanding on this old bod, how do the pros prepare for the unique rigors of our sport?
I think it would be useful for many of us to learn about athletes’ stretching and strengthening routines, in particular.
I’m all for swelling the freestyling ranks and would like to remain in them for as long as possible.
Thanks in advance for your help!
