Well, the people are there, and everything is running smothly for now, here is what we can read on different blogs:
Jens is writing, that the organizers are doing a great job, you can find him here
Colm writes, that everything goes on schedule, and of course, people need to wait to get food and people, again ofcourse, complain about it, but no bigger problems are reported yet. Colm also live-blogged the Common briefing, you can read all about it here
This is it for now, we still expect a report at least from Tuna, but as you know, I will be watching at different other blogs and Twitters, so you will get all the info from different people and different views.
Of course, if you are there, please leave a comment, Ill be happy to hear from you

Webmaster: This is the final call guys and girls, submitt your info!
Dear All,
It is a matter of serious concern to me that some institutions delegates for Cork Worlds 2009 have not submitted some or all of their personal details through our online registration system, given that the deadline for submission of details is now well past.
Failure of your delegates to submit their personal details by the close of business on Monday will mean that we will not be able to able to take your preferences in to account in planning for Cork Worlds 2009. In particular I would like to highlight that this is of particular importance in relation to people's dietary requirements, roommate preferences and if they wish to apply for English as a Foreign Language or English as Second Language status at Cork Worlds 2009. For example if people do not indicate that they require kosher/halal food or that they have allergies before Monday evening we will not be able to provide it for you at Cork Worlds 2009.
If anyone has any questions or queries at all, please do not hesitate to contact me by email or on +353-86-3738177, and I will give you every assistance possible.
Best wishes,
Mark Collins
Director of Registration & Communications,
29th World University Debating Championships.

Dear All,
In this email I will detail in depth the process for stage 2 of registration for those registered for Cork Worlds 2009.
Stage
2, i.e. payment, will open this coming Monday (September 1st) at 2pm
BST/GMT+1 and will close on October 9th 6pm BST/GMT+1 by which time
payment must have been received in our accounts either by EFT
(Electronic Funds Transfer) or by online credit card payment.
I would ask all delegates to log in to their account by going to registration.corkworlds2009.com.
There you will be able to view the invoice for your institution which
will detail the amount due. In addition, information regarding payment
as detailed here will also be available. Once you have reviewed the
total sum due for your institution and have confirmed that it is
correct, you can opt to pay online by credit card or by EFT.
Credit Card:
Should
you opt to pay by credit card after viewing the invoice for your
institution you should then click on the "Pay Online" button at the
bottom of your invoice
which will take you to our online credit card payment system. Where
you will be asked to enter your credit card details and, as announced
previously , there will be a 2.4% transaction charge on all payments made
by credit card.
Once your transaction then has been cleared by our clearing agent
and has been processed by us (this process could take up to 72 hours)
we will confirm via email that your payment has been received and this
will be logged in our registration system. Once you have received this
confirmation you will be able to log into the registration system ( registration.corkworlds2009.com) and view an updated invoice stating that your registration has been paid.
The payment will be marked on your credit card statement as"TOURNAMENT REGISTRATION FEES FOR THE WUDC 2009".
EFT:
For
those who opt to pay by EFT, I would ask that all transactions are
clearly marked with the name of your institution and invoice number so
that we can easily track all payments. All the details necessary for
an EFT are details in the payment details section of our registration
system ( registration.corkworlds2009.com)
and also in the registration section of our website. I would advise
that a minimum of ten working days be allowed for your EFT to be
processed and received in our account. As a result I would recommend
that EFT's are initiated no later than September 26th.
I must stress that the full amount due must be received in out
account, therefore you must instruct your bank that you are to assume
all costs for the transaction both at the senders and beneficiaries
sides. I am aware that some banks do not offer this facility and if
that is the case I would ask that you consider making your payment by
credit card. If that is impossible then I would ask that you include an
additional 5% of the total amount due to cover transaction costs. In
the event that there is a shortfall the balance of the transaction
costs will be due upon arrival at Cork Worlds 2009, and in the event of a surplus, that will be refunded to you upon arrival at
Cork Worlds 2009.
After initiating the transaction you are then required to log in to the registration system ( registration.corkworlds2009.com) and upload a scan of the transfer document from your bank by clicking on the link that is beneath your invoice.
Once your transfer has been received in our account and has been
processed we will inform you and update your status accordingly. Once
you have received this confirmation you will be able to log into
the registration system ( registration.corkworlds2009.com) and view an
updated invoice stating that your registration has been paid.
Cancellation Policy:
Our
cancellation policy for Cork Worlds 2009 is designed to be as straight
forward and fair as possible. As a result, if following payment you
wish to cancel your registration or wish to reduce the number of teams
that you are sending to Cork Worlds 2009 before December 1st your
registration fee will be refunded in full once that place can be filled
by an alternate institution. All refunds will be made as promptly as
possible and the sum paid will be returned in full minus the
transaction costs of the refund.
If however you wish to cancel your registration or wish to reduce
the number of teams that you are sending to Cork Worlds 2009 after
December 1st then your registration fee will not be refunded.
Single Rooms:
We have a
very limited number of single rooms still available for Cork Worlds
2009. These rooms come at a additional cost of E400 on top to your
registration fee. Should you wish to avail of one of these rooms I
would ask that you contact me before this coming Saturday August 30th 10pm BST/GMT+1 and I
will make the required change to your registration.
If anyone has any questions at all please do not hesitate to contact me and I will give you every assistance possible.
Best wishes,
Mark Collins
