2011 IFPA World Footbag Championships in Helsinki, Finland
Dear Footbag World,
Get ready for some great news!
On behalf of Finnish Footbag Association, I'm thrilled to announce that the dates for the 32nd IFPA World Footbag Championships are finally set!
The tournament is held between July 31 and August 6, 2011. A few days ago, the City of Helsinki confirmed that we can use the venues we want. Most of the action will take place in Töölö Sports Hall which is conveniently located within a walking distance from the heart of Helsinki.
More information about the best week of your lives will be published on the event website. It will be launched by the first week of March. Before that, be sure to check out information about the event on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=134362689963261.
To make this the best footbag event of all time we are joining forces with an event production company, Soul Productions Ltd.
Go on, book your flights to the beautiful, summery Helsinki and get ready to rock!

Mathieu, you should definitely visit Poland at the end of August!MathieuGM wrote:

Of course, other shredders are invited too. This year's Polish Championships will be a fantastic event.
By the way, it's very nice of you to write the name of our country with a capital letter as the only one in here
Polish representation in Helsinki will be numerous (as always) - our tickets booked already... so see you at Worlds!

The official website for the 32nd annual IFPA World Footbag Championships is now online at http://www.footbag.org/worlds2011/. There you’ll find initial information about the tournament, including accommodation, basic schedule, Helsinki info, the organizing team, and much more.
We’ll update the site frequently, so stay tuned! And don’t hesitate to ask us in case you need more info. Expect to see full online registration coming in the next few weeks.
Our team is working hard to ensure you’ll have a great week of footbag in Helsinki. Venues for the competition are booked, and all the other preparations are well under way. To make this the best Worlds yet, we're planning some special festivities, like the Hall of Fame party to honour the legends of the sport. We're all very excited to have the Worlds tournament in Finland, and we’re hoping to see all of you here in the summer!

As the above space was taken, I've now also booked at room at the Omena Eerikinkatu. I believe Roy Klein will be sharing so if 2 more people want in we can keep the cost down.
Give me a PM, reply or email at matthew_bailey@live.com
Thanks

can´t wait for Helsinki 2011!
I read this under the online registration :" Note that you can easily cancel without penalty if you find a roommate who already has a room and cancel before the cancellation deadline; so it's better to reserve a room now, than not have one."
When exactly will the cancellation deadline be?
