Thanks guys for the support my head is starting to whirr into action, hold on a minute better sit down :0
Right, everybody looking to play this comp has to understand a few things
Its a very,very high standard
There is more pressure playing in this than any event other on WGT, because when you lose you not only lose for yourself but for the team. Believe it or not this makes it the most nerve wrecking comp around.
Getting games organised can be difficult, you have have have to be flexible. There is no point entering if you have 2 x 1 hour windows to play each day, it will not work. Most games end up taking place late at night or early morning be prepared. Also if you have a 2 week holiday booked during the tourney period that's bad news.
The above point is particularly relevant to the International team as we are spread out. So if you are going to go for a place, if there other good players in your region and time zone encourage them to play, its much easier organising 2 time zones than 3 or 4.
Its a great tourney and I would encourage all to enter, last year we had live commentary on mirc of some of the games and it was fantastic entertainment.
If I do get the job I will start fairly soon to sound people out and start getting people motivated to qualify.
This time we will win.
