Dear debaters,
It is time for some updates on EUDC 2008 Tallinn. Those of you
interested in the tournament - please read and remember the information
below, because it may save you from considerable trouble once the
registration opens. Let me remind you that registration for EUDC 2008
Tallinn opens on 10th March at 12:00 GMT. We will also be sending you a
small reminder on the previous day (9th March) with the most essential
points to keep in mind. But here's what you should know now:
Phase 3: Phase 3 of registration starts on April 13 and continues
through May 15 (see our homepage Trounament -> Registration to find
out what is Phase 3).
Registration of judges: A maximum of 4 adjudicators can be registered together with your institution'
s
teams in Phase 1 and Phase 2. If your institution wishes to send more
than 4 adjudicators, the other judges will have to register as
independent judges by choosing Register as Single Adjudicator. Please
note that there is no institutional cap for adjudicators, the
abovementioned limitation of 4 is necessary to guarantee quicker and
easier registration.
Registration of observers: Observers will not have to register on our
homepage. If you wish to participate in the tournament as an observer,
please send an e-mail to our Communications Director Maarja at
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
.
In addition to the universal participation fee of 210EUR, observers
will have to pay extra 35EUR per day for accommodation at the hotel and
30EUR per day for catering and socials.
Team names: The registration form includes a dropdown list of
institutions for you to choose. After you have chosen your institution
from the list, the system automatically generates an abbreviation of
your institution's
name, which will form a part of your team's name. The abbreviation is
definitive and can not be changed! The only thing that the teams can do
is add an extension to the end to differentiate the teams. Teams are
only allowed to use letters A, B, C etc. as extensions (no numbers, no
words!). You can add your team's extension in a blank appearing after
the abbreviation. A list of institutions will also be published under
registration information on our homepage, where you can check the
abbreviations for all institutions.
Payments: The system of payments is coordinated through our partner
organisation, travel company Estravel, by our travel agent Ms Piret
Poopuu. Therefore all questions concerning payments should be addressed
to her. Her contact information will be disclosed right next to the
invoice you receive after registration. The invoice will be generated
automatically by the system after filling in the registration details.
You will be able to print the invoice or make the payment by bank
transfer straight away.
Cancellations: Please inform us about your cancellation(s) by sending an e-mail to our Communications Director Maarja at

ESL eligibility: Every debater who has marked him/herself as ESL will
be interviewed on June 22 at the hotel by members of the EUDC Council.

definition from EUDC Constitution.
Money-off flights: We have set up a period for buying reduced rate
flight tickets. Our partner EasyJet offers you reduced rate flights,
using a promotional code, between April 1st-14th. Please note that the
EasyJet reduced rates will apply only for routes London (Stansted) -
