Czech Footbag Association has the privilege to host the biggest footbag
event of the year. We very much appreciate this possibility even though there
was no other bid to stand against.
In 2003 Prague was historicaly the first city outside of North America to
host this footbag sport gathering, and with 214 participants was the biggest
Worlds ever. Some said it was truly the first Worlds as players from 20
countries from all over the globe showed up to compete in both freestyle and
net. Next summer we hope to enjoy it again with all of you!
Let us introduce the tournament site and other so far known important
facts.
Location:
We want this tournament to take place on one site – one stadium. Even
though freestyle and net are two totaly different sports, the people are are
not this way. Accomodation has to be close to the area as well as Pragues
center, airport, shopping malls, hospital and parties. This is Strahov.
Event Venue:
Event venue is located not more than 1 km from all the official accomodation
structures. For net games there will be a fine grass field with more than 20
courts and a main net court for the best matches with spectator stands around
them. The whole area is possible to be lighted if games needed to be played in
later day times. Freestyle will be played on tartan sport material in a big
roofed area with spectator stand in all directions and warm-up area close by.
Area will also provide catering, necessary sanitation facilities, stands and a
chill-out area.
For the last 3 days of the event we will be accompanied by a group of frisbee
freestyle players which will have their European Championships happening on a
field right next to ours.
Timetable:
The idea is that we dont start before 12.00 any day, but we see if that is
possible especially with net competitions. We would also like to have one day
completely free of any competition if possible and have all finals finished by
satturday night. Last 3 days of the event will be promoted with general public
and media attention (thu,fri,sat). Some frisbee finals will be showcased
together with footbag finals.
Other:
As always you can have fun on everyday parties in different locations of
Prague organised especially for this occation. The famous players booklet
should once again be enhanced by special features.
