Ecco un estratto delle regole ufficiali FPA per giudicare ai tornei! Dopo Amsterdam satá disponibile la versione integrale del regolamento in italiano. Per ora dovete accontentarvi ;))
RIP Diego Gamboa
A friend has reported that Diego Gamboa was killed last night in San Antonio as he rode his moped. I don’t have any further details right now. We will miss you Diego.
EDIT (6/18/07): Diego’s brother Mando is collecting photos, videos or memories of Diego. If you would have something to share, contact Mando through his profile and also consider sharing in the comments to this story.
EDIT (10:59am): Tom Leitner located an article in the San Antonio Express-News about the crash:
Mo-ped driver killed in two-vehicle crash
A 45-year-old man was killed Tuesday when his mo-ped slammed into a minivan when it pulled out in front of him, traffic detectives said.
The man, whose name was not released pending notification of his next of kin, was heading east in the 4500 block of Walzem Road, near Austin Highway. Around 2 p.m., a driver in a minivan suddenly pulled out of Walzem Elementary School, and the mo-ped crashed into the rear end of the van.
That 49-year-old minivan driver was expected to be charged for not having a driver’s license, police said.
EDIT (10:00am): A little more information on this tragic event. Diego was riding his moped on a busy San Antonio street when a car pulled out in front of him. Diego hit the car and was also hit by the car behind him.

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.
