Kristel was Head Judge at the Belgian Nationals, so I doubt her rating will change much ;)

Small correction/update on Belgian Nationals (tournament has been uploaded.): Masters: (25 players - 5r / top 8) 1. Ken VS (gardelade) 2. Jeroen R. (gardelade) 3. Helga H. (magmortar) 4. Daphne VB (tangrowth/sceptile/togekiss) Seniors: (13 players - 4r / top 4) 1. Gunter V. (Magkiss)...

Don't forget to calculate about 10 extra minutes every round - there's always a couple of tables that go until the time limit, and before those results get entered, pairings get posted and player's take their seats again ... For a normal tournament with only 5 rounds that still adds close to...

5th December for Belgium as well

Actually, yes we do in Belgium, so I'm assuming that should be for everyone in Europe.

Manuel B and Irwin M, could you contact me with regards to the Trophies you've won at the 2005 Belgian Nationals please? Can't seem to get a hold of you through e-mails or PM's. Thanks a lot! =)

Should be 2 Seniors from Belgium actually: Glen V and Jefre R. I haven't heard from any Juniors / Masters going for the Grinders.

Rainbowgym - Has it ever occured to you that perhaps the way things are handled with PTO's in the US is not the same as with LD's in Europe? Contrary to what you believe we do not get money for every player we have in a tournament, there is no flat budget we get every year to spend as we see...

Lawman - To my knowledge we never even announced "Trip or Travel Award" as a prize anywhere, and certainly not that it would be all expenses paid. The enveloppe from PUI that was handed out states that they receive a full paid trip & stay, but the winners were warned that this was not yet...

As the OP coordinator for Belgium: - We warned players during Nationals that the trips weren't certain yet, and that the amount could be less then the full amount (though it wasn't sure at that point, and even I was still hoping everything would turn out fine). - We've had to wait untill...

Should be after Worlds Fireborn, late August - early September. Don't think we've received an exact date yet.

Belgium will have 7 D & P Pre-Releases. As was said earlier, this is mostly to give the European players a chance to get to use the cards already and should also make some more cards available for the players going to Worlds,

Still have 2 pictures of it on our 2005 Nats report: http://www.intrafin.be/community.php?cm=7

Wim won 3rd place play-off (Masters) We have someone with a wrong birthdate on the POP site, should be corrected soon.

You can only get them by winning a Battle Road tournament. There's one card per age group, so they should be pretty limited :wink:

Belgium has Battle Roads after the Nationals because: 1) Our National was planned on April 21st back in December 2006, before I knew when Battle Roads could be held, what restrictions they would have etc 2) The deadline I received for the Battle Roads was June 10th (for Europe in general) - I...

With regards to the Benelux Cup, we might change the structure next year, we are open to suggestions. Last year we only recieved comments that the invite system could have been better, which was solved by Hape's new system. We didn't inform the players in November because we were still...

Actually, when HaPé contacted me in Ocotber he had already worked out the invite structure, and I can assure you that POP knew about the invitational structure when we checked with them for PE Status early november. Just because we hadn't informed the players yet doesn't mean nothing was...

Imagine being in the US, you know how many invites they lost compared to previous years? Yes it was unfair, which is why they changed it to be more equal for everyone. I'm against closed SPT's myself, so if you want to know why they're closed in other countries you'll have to ask those LD /...

Actually, number of invites is decided by PUI - but yes, those are most likely based on sales & OP. Glumanda - PUI sets a range of dates for all tournament structures. Sometimes (for lots of different reasons) exceptions need to be made to that rule. As long as those are just exceptions...
