[Alex_Moiseyev]

Where will this be held?

Official announcement is coming. From unofficial rumors with possibility 99.99% - Rome, Italy, beginning of June

[john reade]

It's actually 9 to 12 June (in Rome)

[George Hay]

Mr. Alex, will you be competing in Rome?

[Alex_Moiseyev]

Mr. Alex, will you be competing in Rome?

George, I am reviewing now my financial situation. It is quite possible that I may need some sort of support and sponsoring. I already submitted email to my good sponsors in the past. In the meantime I asked Dr. Richard Beckwith to add my name to the list of ACF nominees for WQT.

Where is the hotel it will be played at and hotel rates

[rich beckwith]

There is some preliminary, but detailed WQT info at wcdf site:

http://www.wcdf.net/index.htm

The WQT link near bottom of the page opens up Carlo Bordini's pdf of regulations. It is in Italian, but English translation is immediately underneath for each section. Please note that, as of this writing, there is an unresolved issue with number of rounds -- current schedule shows 7 rounds. Adding an 8th round (as statutes dictate) will likely require players staying another night.

[Alex_Moiseyev]

Hey,

is there any checker player in Rome with great heart and spirit, who is ready to meet me and Jim Morrison in FCO airport (Terminal 3) around 10:00 AM on June 7th (Tuesday) and take us to Olympic Training Center ?

If so - please, respond here or send me PM or email (rusms + juno.com)

Respectfully,

Alex / Jim

Qustion how many players can represent a country?

[rich beckwith]

Question how many players can represent a country?

-- In non IMSA/WMSG years (which is usually the case), it is two players per WCDF-affiliated association (plus up to two women and two youth). The host country/association earns a third nomination slot. And there are a few limited scenarios where a player may earn an independent WCDF nomination, such as person who lost previous world title match of that same style of play.

When can we see the real thing?Since this is Rumor

[Alex_Moiseyev]

For me it is more important - how many rounds we play and when we start - Wednesday or Thursday. There are slight different versions and views on this matter - 7 or 8 rounds, Wednesday or Thursday.
