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!

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!

Discount code now available for Host Hotel Presidentti. Check out worlds 2011 website for details on how to book your room. This is a great hotel with a great location right in the heart of Helsinki and within a walking distance from the event site. Prices include all taxes and fees plus a luxurious breakfast. Book before 1.7.2011 to get the discount.
From the tournament web site:
To encourage even more players to book their trip well in advance, the Finnish Footbag Association has decided to offer free registration to three competitors, drawn randomly, who sign up and pay by the end of June. So, if you plan to travel to Worlds this year, let us know by registering online by Thursday the 30th, and you have a good chance of winning a full refund for your registration fee.
The final deadline you must register and pay online by is July 17, about three weeks from now. Please note that there will be no on-site or late registration as in some other tournaments. Whether you are a competitor, a sideline player, a volunteer or a member of the staff, please register and pay as soon as possible. For your convenience, you can pay the registration fee by PayPal or within the SEPA area also by bank transfer.

Remember, if you're going to compete, this is your last week to register and pay online. There will be no on-site registration, so please sign up for the event now!
Deadline for submissions has been moved to 29th July!
In order to make the night unforgettable, we really need the community to participate. This is an exceptional opportunity to view your video on the big screen with 200 footbaggers as your live audience! Submissions can of course be sent even if you won't be attending the tournament.
Great ideas don't require the best equipment, just get out there and make it happen!
