The World Open management team lead by Håkan Granberg have now agreed on the following plan for the practical events leading up to the tournament.

Payment Instructions

Team Event

Applications for the team event is subject to the same general arrangements as applications for the individual tournament including the timeplan below. Each team needs a team captain that applies and functions as the main point of contact towards tournament management. The application should contain the names of the members of the team so that tournament management can avoid collisions in the match schedule. No extra payment is needed since participation in the team event is included in the fee for the main tournament. A list of participants in each team is required in October.

17th September
(Tuesday)

Information containing payment instructions will be published on Racketlon.com. (Done. See above)

.
4th October
(Friday)

Application Deadline!
After this date we will no longer consider any e-mail applications.
.
11th October
(Friday)

Payment Deadline!
For Swedish participants this is the date when your money needs to be available on our account if you want to participate. But you have to be admitted before you pay! (WARNING: If you pay at a post office the money will be available on our account the day after BUT payments from some banks can apparently take up to FIVE days before they reach our account.)

Commitment Deadline!
For non-Swedish participants the preliminary application turns binding as of this date. That means that his date is your last chance to withdraw! (In practice an e-mail will be sent out a couple of days before-hand where you will be asked to confirm or cancel.)

Team Deadline!
In order to avoid clashes in the draw we need to know who will be playing for each of the teams. We need to make sure that team players do not start their individual games until Saturday morning. Team capatains, therefore, need to send us this information by this date.

Internet Auction Deadline!
This is also the date when we draw a line for the internet auction for main sponsorship. The highest bidder at the end of the day will be the official main sponsor of Gothenburg Racketlon World Open 2002.

22nd October

The draw is published.
It will be made available on Racketlon.com only. No paper match schedules will be sent out.
