Could I Possibly Still Register To Compete?

Ahhh... I know we are less than a week away from Worlds and that the deadline to register to compete is up but, I was wondering if anyone knew if there would be a chance that I would be able to register to compete while there? I am not very good... but I have been practicing and I would really like to try cause I think it'd be fun.

I wouldn't be heartbroken if I have no chance of still signing up... but if anyone had any information. I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.

I imagine that if you send an e-mail to Yacine ( yax at footbag dot org ), they probably wouldn't have a problem with adding you.

You don't even have to do that. Be in the lobby of the UQAM dorms on Sunday from 7 to 10pm and you can register there in person, when you check in. It's just that there's a late registration fee. Freestylers can even register on Monday from 11am to 2pm.

I'm not sure how / if that meshes with this:

Steve Goldberg: wrote: You registered but didn't pay - (This includes people whose credit cards were declined.) All is not lost, however, you really should have pre-paid. Your registration is not guaranteed, but assuming there is still room for you, you will be allowed to compete. However, this decision is made on a case-by-case basis (depending on the events you want to register for) and is first-come, first-served. So if you really want to compete, you have no choice but to arrive as early as possible for the on-site check-in and late registration. If you still don't have a partner, you're really skating on thin ice! Good luck with that. And if you can't be there in person to check in, you should really reevaluate your priorities in life. Smile

You want to compete, but did not pre-register. - Please try again next year. You had a window of 4 months to register for this event. What can I say? That said, if you're really nice you can try presenting a sob story to the folks at the check-in desk in Montreal. Please read the caveat above, however.

You may want to email Yacine just to be sure.

ding, ding! Stokely is right. Don't bother Yacine. Just come to either of the check-ins, though preferably Sunday night. And as Stoke obviously did, read the Worlds website for the most up-to-date info.

Oh, and the late registration fee is a whopping $5.

I'm going to go and try to register as soon as I get into Canada. I plan on getting there early. hehe.

I know that if it doesn't happen, it is my own fault because I decided this like after the deadline. And I would have registered in the time span that was given... but I didn't have the confidence in myself that I could try. I still sort of don't think I have that confidence... but I figure, it's worth a shot. I hope I just don't chicken out if I end up competing.

I'm so unprepared for competition since my 2 week injury break Megan, but I'm totally still going to compete. I've never done a routine before, and I've only had one shred 30, and that was back when I could merely link maybe 3 tricks consistently.

I intend to compete, and I intend to ENJOY IT. There might/will be some pressure, being on the spot and all, but I'm not looking to "Take home the gold" as it were. I've decided that my main motivation is getting the experience for the future.

GO GO GO GO GO TO WORLDS AND COMPETE
