I'm Eric Wulff and I'm the producer of the freestyle portion of this year's World Footbag Championships. Here's some important information for anyone interested in competing and/or just watching the events. --- 2001 WORLD FOOTBAG CHAMPIONSHIPS FREESTYLE SUMMARY: 1. SEMIS & FINALS AT THEATER ARTAUD - ticket sales and access to the theater 2. MORE CHANCES TO PLAY - Women's freestyle will be 3 rounds if 12 entrants or more - Open singles freestyle finals cut to 10 players - Intermediate singles finals cut to 12 (on Thursday evening) 3. CHECK-IN AND JUDGING CLINIC REQUIREMENTS - Pay for freestyle by Monday 4pm at the latest else you cannot compete (check-in on net site all day Monday) - Judging clinic is Tuesday evening at 8pm Details are below. --- If you are planning to be a part of freestyle as a PLAYER or SPECTATOR the following info is VERY IMPORTANT. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE INFORMATION ABOUT TICKET SALES AND ACCESS TO THE THEATER. ------------------------------------- 1. SEMIS & FINALS AT THEATHER ARTAUD: ------------------------------------- Freestyle Semi-final and Final rounds will be held at Theater Artaud in San Francisco. http://www.theaterartaud.org/ Space at the theater will be VERY tight. You will only be able to gain access to the theater in 1 of 2 ways: a. PRE-REGISTER FOR ANY EVENT AT WORLDS, and your name will be on the "will-call" list, allowing you to enter the theater on both nights. This also includes official staff, even if you are not registered for competition. Entry for all Worlds competitors and staff is complimentary. (There are no tickets for this; you simply give your name at the door.) Anyone not pre-registered is not guaranteed free entrance to the freestyle venue. b. BUY A TICKET FOR YOURSELF OR YOUR FRIENDS/FAMILY in advance; this is for anyone who is not on staff nor entering the competition. You have to buy a ticket in advance for each night (or you can buy a package deal). See below for purchasing information. That's it. These are absolutely the only ways you can get in, so ACT NOW. LOOK OUT FOR YOUR FRIENDS. LOOK OUT FOR YOUR FAMILY. If you know folks that will want to attend you must spread the word. This will not be a free event for anyone except Worlds entrants and event staff. We need the support of everyone and anyone outside of player and staff. We're selling tickets to get support. Make no mistake about it... the ticket price will be well worth it. The freestyle show will be awesome! TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE. You can buy them via the theater's website box office info or via ticketweb. See the theater's website or ticketweb below. Again, if you're entering the tourney yourself and you PRE-REGISTER, then you (and ONLY YOU) will get complimentary access to the freestyle venue. http://www.theaterartaud.org/ http://www.ticketweb.com/user/sfbay/venues/misc/artaud Tickets are being sold on a sliding scale. Ask the theater about it if you have questions. Prices: Semi Finals: $10 Finals: $15 Package for both shows: $25 Also, currently our event is a listing on the theater's web site. This will be updated later this week to include description of our sport and our event. There will be pictures and video of players to watch. Some of the greatest players will be featured on the theater's web site promoting the show. However, I am also taking this opportunity to apologize to a few freestylers which are left out of this. They are so notable their names need not be mentioned. I apologize. This is mostly due to the lack of high quality video or photo immediately available to me. With the support of Zohar.com I hope to update this soon. --- Onto other issues... One of our goals at this years freestyle event is to get more entrants in every category than we had last year. With this in mind... ------------------------ 2. MORE CHANCES TO PLAY: ------------------------ If we can get 12 or more women entrants we will have 3 rounds of women's freestyle so you'll really get you money's worth and some more good experience. We're also planning to take 10 open singles players to the finals for the first time ever (in years past, it has always been 8). This is somewhat dependent on # of entrants. Finally, we're planning to take 12 intermediate singles players to the intermediate finals for the first time ever. This is somewhat dependent on # of entrants as well. The Intermediate finals will still take place during the 2nd round of freestyle (at Theater Artaud), on Thursday, August 9th. --- -------------------------------------------- 3. CHECK-IN AND JUDGING CLINIC REQUIREMENTS: -------------------------------------------- Please note -- freestyle is starting one day earlier this year than in years past! Because we need to have all judging assignments made before the judging clinic on Tuesday night, we cannot accept any late registrations past Monday afternoon at 4pm. That is the official close of registration for freestyle. You are strongly urged to pre-register now at http://www.footbag.org/calendar/show/980969461 to avoid any problems. Since pre-registration is trivial, you should do it immediately. If you pre-pay online, your registration is guaranteed and you just need to show up by 8pm Tuesday for the mandatory judging clinic. (However, no changes may be made to your registration past Monday at 4pm.) However, if you do not pre-pay, you will need to be sure you (or someone on your behalf) check in and pay NO LATER THAN 4PM ON MONDAY, AUGUST 6th. The judging clinic is MANDATORY -- all competitors must be present on Tuesday evening for an 8pm roll call. Because we plan to have judging assignments pre-made before the clinic, this will help you figure out exactly what you need to learn. As usual, experienced judges are requested to show up, even if not competing, to help with the clinics. The clinic will be held in the host hotel. Complete details will be in the final schedule (when you check in) or on the Worlds competitors' web page at http://www.footbag.org/worlds2001 --- Thank You... If after you check your resources first... http://www.theaterartaud.org/ http://www.ticketweb.com/user/sfbay/venues/misc/artaud http://www.footbag.org/worlds2001/ you still have questions I'll be glad to help.

Traditionally, we hold freestyle and net in the same tournament, but for several reasons, we have split them into two separate events. Thanks to Applebees and Revolution Footbags for making it happen. $500 Purse for Pro Prize Money. The only two events that are paid out, are Singles Freestyle (Ranked Component Judging), and Freestyle Shred (see below for rules). And we will pay for the Women's category if we have enough entrants. We need your help. One of the conditions of the event (to get the 1,200 seat amphitheater with 40' x 40' stage, covered with special thin rubber matts for grip, the sound system, tons of signage, all the tables and chairs we need, etc...) we need to sell 100 admissions to the park at the reduced rate of $25. This is a great deal because the normal admission is $42 with tax. So please contact me at if you have any friends or relatives (competitors will get admission to the park with their entry) who would like to come out and be spectators and supporters of the sport. I can also supply you with promotional materials to aid in the sales of the tickets to the park, if you are interested in actively selling these tickets for the next week or so. Please help if you can in this endeavor. Players planning to come out should email me immediately with their address and how many park admissions they will need, so I can mail them to you now. You can pay when you check in. Entry fees are: Novice or Spectator @ $25, Intermediate and Women @ $40, Pro @ $55. This event is focused exclusively on freestyle. We are planning to have net demo's on both days, so any net players that are interested in assisting with demonstrations are encouraged to support this event with their unique talents. We need volunteers to help run the event. If you are interested, or know someone who might be, we will make it a point to reimburse our volunteers before we "break even" on the expenses of the event. So if all goes well, the volunteers will be reimbursed for their park admission. We hope to set up a series of events like this at Six Flags Theme Parks across the nation next year. Stay tuned, and contact us if you live near a Six Flags Park and are interested in running an event there. Players will be responsible for purchasing a $5 "twicket" for admission on Sunday prior to their leaving the park on Saturday. We have a private area backstage for players to store their personal belongings. Even though it is private, nothing is fully secure. If anything bad happens, we, nor the park, can be held responsible. For more info about the park, check out: http://www.sixflags.com/greatamerica/ The schedule is tweaked to provide the optimum amount of time riding the theme parks many roller coasters and attractions. Our events will be happening during the peak attendance of the park (when the lines will be longest at the rides) so we can get optimum crowds for our final rounds. More info will be available soon as to the specifics of the schedule. The rules for the Shred Contest are as follows: Object: To perform the longest string with the most variety and difficulty in the allowed time period. To score a performance, we first identify the most valuable *Contiguous String* in the performance (C-String). From that string, we will write out the order of Tricks performed, being careful to give credit for same tricks performed on both sides of the body, and determine their *Difficulty Ratio*. The number of *Unique Tricks* will be multiplied by the Difficulty Ratio and that total added to the total number of *Adds* for the total score. The differences between the Intermediate and Pro Categories are: Pro category C-Strings must be *Guiltless* Intermediate category C-Strings must be *No The* Intermediate category time limit is 45 seconds. Oh, the site comes with a Killer sound system too! Oh, yeah! See you there! Please contact us soon.

We will supply food and drinks for all competitors. The events will be Shred 45 and Sick Ten. With $100 purse for each event. We will also have a $50 purse in each of those events, but in the intermediate level. But the intermediate level depends entirely on YOU, the players. Unless I get enough replies confirming that you will come then there will only be an open level. The entrance fee to compete is $5 (that will go towards supplying food and making the tournament better all around, the prize money comes from ME) which is a small price to pay for an awesome shred event. The kickoff (no pun intended) will take place on Saturday August 25 at 12:00-12:30 and will end whenever there is no-one still shredding. Sunday's events will start around the same time as Saturday kickoff.

See you there! ---------- From: Lisa McDaniel Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 18:34:11 -0800 To: announce@footbag.org Subject: [announce] 2001 Worlds - Host Hotel Information Hello Worlds 2001 competitors, family, friends, and fans, The 2001 Worlds Committee has found great accommodations for this year's World Footbag Championships in the San Francisco Bay Area! We're proud to announce that the host hotel this year will be the Berkeley Marina Radisson, in Berkeley, California. Located at the Berkeley Marina, the hotel will give us easy access to all competition sites, as well as downtown Berkeley and San Francisco. It's right on the water with a great view of the Bay Bridge and San Francisco's famous city lights. We'll be right next to the Eastshore Regional park and beachside bike trails. The Radisson is a big, comfortable hotel with lots of amenities, indoor pools and hot tubs, conference rooms for our meetings, and patio areas so we can all watch the freestyle shred from the heated pool! Here are the particulars: The Radisson Hotel Berkeley Marina 200 Marina Blvd. Berkeley, CA 94710 Reservations: US/Canada: 1-800-243-0625 US and Canada International: +1 (510) 548-7920 Fax: (510) 548-7944 Quad occupancy rooms (for four people) with 2 queen beds is $139.00 US per night, plus hotel tax at 12%. Double occupancy rooms with one king bed are available at the same rate. Quad rooms are a nice size and you may exceed 4 persons, but please use good judgment and be discreet about it. If you need a roll-away, the charge is $10 per night. There are also "executive kings", with a king bed and a sofa bed in a 25% larger room for $159.00 per night. You may also request a refrigerator for additional $5.00 per night. Microwaves are also available for a comparable charge as yet undetermined. Please use the 800 number and the group keyword *FOOTBAG* to book your room as soon as possible. You will need to have a major credit card to secure your reservation, or you may send a check for one night's stay as deposit. Be sure to book into the *FOOTBAG* group and make sure you get the *FOOTBAG* rate of $139.00. Please be prepared to give the following information when you call. 1) Arrival and departure dates, estimated time of check-in. 2) Roommates' names, if you need extra keys or will arrive separately. 3) Choice of king bed or two queens, smoking or non smoking room. 4) Major credit card number and expiration, or other form of deposit. 5) Don't forget to say *FOOTBAG*. 6) Request fridge and/or microwave. It is *VERY IMPORTANT* that you book your room ASAP, and here's why. We were only able to block 30 rooms at this time. We will be able to get more rooms once those are gone, but only *IF* there are rooms still available. August is the height of the tourist season in the Bay Area, and we expect all hotels to be booked out, including ours. As summer approaches rooms will be scarce and rates will go up. So PLEASE BOOK NOW so that we can block off more rooms if necessary to accommodate everyone. If you reserve using a credit card, you are not risking much by reserving now because if something unforseeable happens, or if you decide to share in the cost of someone else's room, you can cancel or change your reservation again later. Also, if you have family or friends who will be attending, please be sure that they book into the *FOOTBAG* group or they will pay a much higher rate. BAFL has contracted with the Radisson to fill a quota of rooms. We are counting on you to be sure that we get credit for all *FOOTBAG* related bookings. Otherwise, we are left holding the proverbial bag. Information regarding ground transportation to the hotel from Bay Area airports as well as rental car information will be posted soon. The Radisson has an hourly shuttle to a nearby BART (train) station, which gives you fairly convenient access the whole Bay Area. This will enable you to get by without a rental car if you wish. Detailed information will follow shortly. Lastly, we know that a few of you are travelling on an extremely limited budget. The host hotel allows multiple roommates, providing a way to cut down the cost of housing. So buddy up. Players travelling from other continents, like Europe, will have to spend much more on airfare than the rest of us. In order to encourage overseas players to attend, we are offering to host some of those overseas travelers who need assistance with housing, but space is limited to only the most needy. For more information e-mail me directly, bigmac@footbag.org, and I will try to set you up on a space available basis. Let's go to Worlds!!! Lisa McDaniel, the 2001 Worlds Committee, and BAFL P.S. Please don't delay in making your hotel reservations and, did we mention, say *FOOTBAG*?

Read on for final updates regarding registration and check-in. For those of you who haven't registered, we are encouraging all players to register on-line before the event so that registration at the site goes quickly. You will be able to adjust your events at the site, so there is no risk in registering early. If you wait and register on-site there will be a $10 late fee and no guarantee of receiving a tournament T-shirt or entry to the freestyle finals. The deadline for online registration is July 29 at midnight Pacific time. Registration forms can still be mailed from within the USA if you get it postmarked by July 25. The International mail-in deadline has already passed.

For those who register on-line, we still need to get you to sign a waiver. If you do need send someone check-in for you, please make sure you come to the booth to sign the waiver prior to your first event. This year we are allowing registration and check-in for some events to finish later than others to accommodate players that are only competing in a few events.

Just emailing to announce that the Australian footbag championships are now be held in conjunction with the Summer exteme games at Stadium Australia in Sydney, 8th and 9th of December, 2001. (Not December 15th and 16th as previously stated). There will be a 1 minute singles freestyle, 3 minute doubles freestyle, and a 30 second phat trick session. Prize money is $1000 Australian dollars for the winner of the singles freestyle. The x-games organisers have given us a separate stage for the first days competition and a 2 hour session on the main stage where the finals will be held. A DJ has been organised, and TV coverage is likely. Cost is $25 Australian which allows restricted entry on the Saturday and full entry to the x-games on the Sunday. Any international competitors are warmly welcomed and are urged to consider the trip down. Hey, our dollar is so low that the trip could double as a holiday. Please email to confirm.

Whether you're a competitor or not, we need to know if you're coming. For non-players, if you intend to see any of the semis or finals of the freestyle competition, you will need to buy tickets if you do not already have them. There are no exceptions, as the venue for freestyle is a theater that *will* fill up. To reserve your tickets and get all of the details, please visit the Worlds web page at http://www.footbag.org/worlds2001 If you're a competitor, you *really* should pre-register if you haven't already. It is simple, fast, and will greatly simplify your life once you arrive. We will already have a shirt reserved for you, we will not ask you to fill out any long forms, we will simply verify your registration, collect any fees owed, and you'll be done. Also, if you pre-pay by Sunday night using a credit card, you can have even greater flexibility because you'll have guaranteed your registration and will only need to sign a waiver and pick up your player's pack before you compete. (But you'll still have to show up for mandatory player's meetings, if any, for your event.) Register now at: http://www.footbag.org/registration/register?tid=980969461 Even if you already pre-registered, but haven't paid, you can still go back and pay (or change your events) between now and Sunday night. You simply go back to the online registration form, and it will remember you and offer you a chance to pay or change your registration. Simply hit the submit button on the main page, verify any changes, hit submit again, and click the button to pay online. It will help you and make things go smoother for everyone. Thanks -- see everyone August 6-12 in the San Francisco Bay Area. Steve (online registration czar for the 2001 Worlds committee) P.S. Please direct any questions to worlds@footbag.org; I am travelling and will not be online for most of the day today and may not have the answer to your question anyway. :-) From owner-announce@list.footbag.org Sun Jul 29 17:31:00 2001 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by list.footbag.org (8.9.3/8.9.3) id RAA09777 for announce-outgoing; Sun, 29 Jul 2001 17:31:00 -0700 X-Authentication-Warning: list.footbag.org: majordom set sender to owner-announce@footbag.org using -f Received: from hercules.ihermes.com (IDENT:root@hercules.ihermes.com [206.180.207.9]) by llic.net (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id PAA07912 for ; Sat, 28 Jul 2001 15:19:39 -0700 Received: from intouch.bc.ca (206-180-207-61.ihermes.com [206.180.207.61]) by hercules.ihermes.com (8.11.0/8.11.0) with ESMTP id f6SMJZV09852 for ; Sat, 28 Jul 2001 15:19:36 -0700 Message-ID: <3B633B0A.B68B6C54@intouch.bc.ca> Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2001 10:22:02 -0700 From: Juliet Pendray X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.76 [en] (Win98; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: announce@footbag.org Subject: [announce] 14th Annual Vancouver Open - Vancouver, Canada, August 25-26, 2001 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-announce@footbag.org 14th Annual Vancouver Open - Vancouver, B.C., Canada - August 25-26, 2001 http://www.footbag.org/calendar/show/990905420 Come One - Come All -- to the 14th Annual Vancouver Open!

The schedule is subject to change to accommodate other potential brackets. FREESTYLE As was discussed with Chard Cook. If enough freestylers show up, Chard will run a Freestyle competition at the tournament site. The number of competitors will dictate whether this is a formal or informal competition - maybe just a shredfest. This will in no way impede the progress of the Net tournament. That is to say that it may not be possible to compete in both Net and Freestyle as the schedules may conflict. If you have any Freestyle questions, please call Chard Cook of the Canadian Footbag Alliance @ (604) 736-0384. DIRECTIONS The tournament takes place at the east section of Jericho Beach Park, the stretch of grass that borders upon 4th Avenue. For directions or questions please call Jim Derricott at (604) 736-2716 or email jimijazzd@telus.net. A speedy reply will come your way. --- Juliet From owner-announce@list.footbag.org Tue Jul 31 04:58:49 2001 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by list.footbag.org (8.9.3/8.9.3) id EAA23549 for announce-outgoing; Tue, 31 Jul 2001 04:58:49 -0700 X-Authentication-Warning: list.footbag.org: majordom set sender to owner-announce@footbag.org using -f Received: from femail30.sdc1.sfba.home.com (femail30.sdc1.sfba.home.com [24.254.60.20]) by llic.net (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id VAA28736 for ; Mon, 30 Jul 2001 21:22:19 -0700 Received: from [192.168.1.100] ([24.14.147.189]) by femail30.sdc1.sfba.home.com (InterMail vM.4.01.03.20 201-229-121-120-20010223) with ESMTP id <20010731042212.KEDS553.femail30.sdc1.sfba.home.com@[192.168.1.100]> for ; Mon, 30 Jul 2001 21:22:12 -0700 User-Agent: Microsoft-Outlook-Express-Macintosh-Edition/5.02.2022 Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2001 21:22:10 -0700 Subject: [announce] Roommates for Worlds hotel?
