Hmmm... I believe this is a thread to inform people about applications. Its not just to say what city you want it in.

agreed. Now im going to go fill out an application. And then you will all die because at worlds 2006 Stoughton, WI i will make you shred in rooms with spikes along the floor and people sniping you.

But really, i will just personally strangle your pets

Seriously. I will just steal your homework.

No actually ill probably just go into debt because i cant afford to host anything. Even a trip to the bathroom..

wtf was i just typing

some pointers on nyc:

1) in places like central park it costs astronomical fees to put stakes in the ground - problem for net

2) im not really sure if the club would want to host a tournemtn that big, i remember alex strassman saying they really wouldnt want to

3) if theyve only had one tournament (nyc footbag explosion) maybe it would be a big jump

just some thoughts, although id be down.

(ps, i saw that gates thing saturday, it was crazy)

edit: ok what the heck? i couldve sworn i responded to an erik chan post

NYC is also an overall expensive city. So lodging and food won`t be cheap either. Something to consider.

Just for the record, I also don`t see Japan being a viable option for a looooooooong time. The 3 main hindrances being:

1. Distance from US and Europe means expensive plane tickets, and more flight time (more vacation days need to be taken)

2. Once people get here, it`s wicked expensive. So only footbaggers with jobs would likely be able to afford plane ticket, lodging, and food.

ATLANTA we've got piedmont park which is freaking huge, and other facilities nearby to shred, lodging is just basic hotels, and food and stuff is reall close, tons of space to play, and i dont think you have to rent out space at peidmont, ill look into that, but atl is where it should be

I agree with Tu Vu - Worlds 2006 in Berlin would be awesome. The FC Footstar is one of the biggest and most important european clubs besides
the Dictators.

Furthermore, the FIFA Soccer World Cup 2006 is in Germany, and the
matches are played in Berlin as well - great opportunity for big time
promotion!

In case they are applying, of course.

I SOOOO called berlin a long time ago

It would be sweet, and I've always wanted to go to Berlin! But the question is: Are there organizers there willing (and able) to tackle such a monstrous event?

I hope so!
