Webmaster: Well we could have seen this one comming. A lot of institutions first register all th eslots that are available to them and later on decide who is going and how many teams are going. This means that the registration gets messed up, and people can't apply just because others have registered "safety" slots. Well, we have done it before and I know a number of other institutions that did it in the past. Now you will have to pay 100€ of prepaiment, non-refundable. Read on the original letter from Koc:
Important Notification on Prepayment Policy
We
have received a number of enquiries about the prepayment system we have
introduced this year. The prepayment will be 100 EUR per person you
wish to attend Worlds 2010 and will be paid in Phase 2 of registration
between 6th July and 17 July 2009. If you subsequently do not pay the
full amount in Phase 3, you will not receive your 100 EUR back.
Similarly, if you register and prepay for 8 people but subsequently
send 5, we cannot refund the three unused prepayments and will still
expect 290 EUR for the five people you wish to send.
It is worth
reiterating why we have introduced the prepayment system. It is to
ensure that everyone makes an accurate assessment of how many people
they will actually send to Worlds. Last year, registration filled in
seven minutes but many institutions just said “3 teams, 2 judges” and
then did not send that number of teams. This meant that teams on the
waiting list had to buy flights much later and thus paid far more.
When
you register, we will take that as firm interest on your part to send
the number of people for whom you register. If you have any queries
about any issues with registration, please do not hesitate to contact
