Looking at the schedule on the website, the first and last rounds each day are two hours and fifteen minutes while the second game will be three hours. For the purposes of parity and consistency, if nothing else, should all the rounds not be two and a half hours long? Or is round two also 2:15, and the end time is missing from the schedule?

originally, the idea was to have the game time to be 2:15 for all games. There are no game end times for the first two games each day mentioned, so you might think they are all different.

But after attending UKTC with 2:30 game time, we decided to adapt to this, which might lead to a slightly earlier start time each day as well as a later start time for game 3,6 and 9. We need the hour lunch time to feed that many people.

Once the registration is closed end of March we will update the tourney schedule and write emails to all squad captains.

Sorry, can I quote you on this? Changing to 2h30. Is this set in stone? I'm asking because we run practice tournaments here in Portugal, for our World Cup teams and it's important as we adapt to playing with time limites. Thank you.

not set in stone, yet. But if you keep practising 2:15 it will help in general

Either by car (6 hours) or by train (not idea how ling it'll take). .... or you can try flying from Vienna to Zurich and take one of our shuttle busses, a rental car or the train.


Fun fact: in order to get to Dornbirn (Western Austria) from the capital Vienna, you have to travel through Germany..... The Austrian don't like digging tunnels through the alps like the Swiss do

My plan was to fly into Zurich, spend three days in Zurich, shuttle bus to Dornbirn, play WC, then travel on to Vienna but struggling to find a practical/affordable way of doing it. I searched on the trainline and couldn't find a train that ran from Dornbirn to Vienna - i'm sure there's a way but i'm struggling to find it!

I understand you provide us with skill rings that will go around the base and that the use of these skill rings is mandatory. I welcome this decision! However, do you yet know, for which base size the skill rings will be (25 mm, 32 mm, Big Guys?) and how they will be placed onto the base?

Thank you very much up front!
