Hi guise.
I may well be accompanying Luke (The Machampion) to Worlds as his legal guardian and we need advice and help and lots of it. I'm 18, he's 14, so it's quite legal (as I understand it) for me to take that position. Luke finished 2nd in UK Nats, Senior Division and so according to the POP site he's due $1000 scholarship money. Here:
United Kingdom Nationals
Event United Kingdom Nationals
Event Date June 7, 2008
Worlds Invitations With Paid Travel Expenses
Winner
Without Paid Travel Expenses
2nd-3rd
Scholarship Awards 1st Place $1,500.00
2nd Place $1000.00
3rd Place n/a
4th Place n/a
5th-Top 8 n/a
Looks fairly comprehensive to me.
Anyway, we're looking around for how to get the two of us over there at the moment and we've found the Orlanda Days Inn International hotel which looks decent at £97 (about $200, I think). Here's a screenshot of said hotel, because you can't link through to a search directly... http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/1241/dfsgdgfk2.png
Now we need to know about flights and things in order to actually get us there.
All help and advice is greatly appreciated and will be rewarded with lots of happy fluffy love and shiny things. (Got the previous incarnation of this post deleted for offering other things.)
As things stand we've found a hotel for about $140 for three nights, if we leave late on the 17th. The best flights I've found will cost us a good $1600.
This, as you can tell, is slightly over budget. I doubt we can raise the extra $740 before we'd be able to book the cheap flights, so we really need assistance!
