Hi Carl,  The payments question will be covered off in Tom's meeting with the organisers, but I can tell you we have eight countries confirmed for the Team Championship and we are awaiting confirmations from five others.  Cheers,  Des.

Hi Matt, are you able to confirm how much the cash alternative is?  Just going by the responses on the forum, most folk travelling over seem to have booked accommodation already.

Thanks

Hi Tom/Des..

Looking to order some Czh Koruna soon, would there be any idea if we need to pay for team event/ME at venue.

Or will payments be made via holding tank ..

Cheers Carl..

This is creeping up on us rather quickly, seems like time is flying!!

Do we have an idea of the final number of teams participating?? Did Steve manage to pull 3 Welsh members to complete a squad?
Have we an idea of format for the two days? Is it going to be similar/same to WCOAP/ home international?

Excited much ;D

As much info available would be really helpfully guys thanks.

By far the best and most exciting way to conclude the team event.

Delighted that HU and MTT are both included though...this looks like it"s going to be great!

Tom what is the score regarding team shirts?

Do i need to contact the guys regarding sizes?

Also the question of cost and number required, i would like the option of only purchasing the 1 shirt instead of 2 as we was given this option in the home internationals, hope this is ok for the ECOAP aswell.

Really looking forward to represent Germany at the ECOAP in Prague! Its a honour and a pleasure to get the chance for this title!

Sad to see that only eight teams will show up. What happened to Portugal, Wales, France (#alltimeclassics) etc. Maybe next time!

Team Germany will be: Alex Muehlbauer, Matze Weigert, Stephan Kalhamer and Juergen Bachmann.

See you there guys!

Would love to see Juergen"s team take this down.  Overdue some real success at one of these.

Good luck guys.
