Webmaster's 2 cents:
I've just written a post on how you should pay until NOW and stuff... And now I get a email saying that the deadline has been extended. That is great because that means that most of the people will be able to pay on time and institutions won't be loosing places because of the payment problems. I had payment problems in the past because of all the international bank transfers etc. Good luck to everyone!
Dear
registrants of EUDC 2008!
During
the last days we’ve been getting a lot of e-mails about difficulties with
payments. Due to the Easter holidays, Friday was (in most countries where EUDC
2008 registrants are from) and Monday is (in some countries) a free day because
of a National Holiday. Now, we’ve been very strict about the payment
deadline and we appreciate everybody’s efforts who were able to meet it,
and hope you understand our following decision.
Because
of the Holidays falling on critical dates of the payment process many of the
teams were not able to meet the deadline because of banks and universities
being of vacation. It’s nearly like force majeure in
terms of transfering money internationaly and since we don’t want to annul
registartion of about 1/5th of potential participants, we’re extending the payment deadline until March 25th 23:59 GMT.
Now,
for a change we’ve been nice and we expect you to be as well:) So
everybody who has not paid yet, we’re going to need your credit card details,
bank transfer confirmation documents and/or questions & problems about
payments by March 25th 14:00
GMT (end of office
hours in Estravel company). That’s the last time
you can reach Piret by phone, e-mail and/or fax.
Transfer confirmation documents
From March 25th we need a few days to
confirm the participation of all the teams and judges who made the payments. We’d
like to highlight that it’s taking us some time to confirm you, because irregardless
of the fact that we have your transfer confirmation document, we will wait for
your payments to arrive before gicing you a „Confirmed” status. We
ask for the document to know if we should wait for the payment, so don’t
be alarmed, if you have sent us the document and your statued has no been
confirmed yet. So, in conclusion we
will confirm the participation of the team and adjudicator only when we have
actually received the money. In case you do not have a
confirmed status on web site by now, it does not mean that we will not keep
your registration – the bank transfers will take time and we hope to get
all the teams confirmed by Thursday evening. Please check the web page on
Friday (March 28th) to find out about your status.
Phase 2 of registration
Phase
2 of registration will begin as promised
- on March 31st. The only
limitation we need to make is that only n-1 judges can register in Phase 2. That is because
of an enormous amount of adjudicators registered in Phase 1. If any adjudicator
places will be left available after the team cap has been met, maybe then
independent adjudicators can register as well, but we would not promise you
that right now.
