Congrats for getting the bid together. Is it too early for questions?
With 20 players, how do you plan to house up to 150 players?
What's the pool system to get through 40-50 teams in 1 day on 2 courts? How many games would each team get if 50 teams?
Could you explain registration a bit more?
10 euros entry, no big sponsors, and government supported, sounds awesome!
If a foreign player gets hurt and needs more than a paramedic, what does s/he have to do/have to get help in Geneva?
Congratulations on a big step!
superbe le court couvert

@Roxy:
For housing: we have a small polo community but a big bicycle community (messengers, hipsters, activists) who can help us. We have also an alternative solution for housing, we gonna rent for cheap price antinuke shelters from city.
For pool system, like in london: from 40 to 32 i.e. . Depend how many courts we can get.
For registration systeme. Can't tell you much more now, but we thinking on a good systeme I think. I need to check with my comitee if I can tell you more.
For entry, sponsors etc... all this points depending on government and city of Geneva. First meeting tomorow...

clement: minimal sponsorship, wicked, back to polo roots!
I can't wait.
That sounds great Clement, especially the antinuke shelters! Can I reserve one now?
The most important question I had is what happens if a foreign player gets hurt and needs more help than paramedics? What's the procedure?
i am so coming to this, even though it means i have to come back from the states. sounds amazing. seriously good luck guys.
Nice one Clement. Iron ponies will have to start training if you wanna beat NETTO this time though ;)
I hope that we gonna play, not sure at all (need to qualify before...)
But if we play, we gonna cheat to beat you this time (friendship ref etc...)!!!

Mike,
London, UK.
do it on the later date so the north americans can come after the north american championships. theirs are the same weekend as the euros might be. if the euros fall after then people can coordinate the flights to come to both and then hit up berlin. i know i want to do them all this year.
Is there a date for this yet?
Ok,
Good news from Geneva!
City autorities support us.
Dates are confirmed 16-17-18 july 2010.
Free housing in civilian protection for everybody (including extra places).
Bad news:
Absolutely no insurance at all for this type of event in Geneva... you need to get cover by your own way.
Cool, i'm closing this thread, time to put this on the tournament calendar...
Here is one cover court project:
