Marcin,
My understanding is, that if an Athlete is pulling both the Masters and the Senior, that the Weigh in on the 1st day will also count for the Open class.
Is this true?

If you are masters and seniors - your weight in is only one - before the championships. (3.09.2013).
p.s. for junior 21 the weight in is the second weight in with seniors.
so: masters, g-masters, disabled, junior disabled and junior 18 - 3.09.2013 junior 21 and seniors - 5.09.2013

Masters will only weigh in once if they happen to be pulling Seniors as well their master weight will stand for the senior class. I was told by a US team member that the Hotel Gdynia no longer has any single rooms, the easiest way to find another room is to go to the below link and find another event hotel then follow their process. www.worlds2013.armpower.net/Has anyone booked anywhere but the Hotel Gdynia yet? Response to the team has been light so if anyone wants to take a spot please contact me and I will try to contact those currently holding the spots and confirm if they are going then let you know if there is a spot available. sberriochoa@rosettastone.com 540 209 1983

There was a question about transfer between hotels and venue. I can answer right now: Every competitor will receive maximum 8 coupons for taxi trip between hotel and venue. Taxi will wait at the morning near the hotel and at the evening after finals near the sport hall. Every taxi taking 4 coupons (maximum 4 persons) and going to your hotel. So you will get maximum 8 coupons to go to the sport hall and to go to the hotels for all days you stay (4 event days). If you want to go alone, or less than 4 people - you have to give 4 coupons or pay a taxi fee. Taxi fee is 7 PLN for entrance and about 2 - 2,50 pln for 1km. So its about 15-20 pln for 1 trip (5-7usd). There will be one official taxi company for our event and we suggest to use only them. They will make a special prices for all of you. There is some taxi cars in Gdynia, where for the same trip you will pay about 50-100 pln (16-33 usd) or more. That's why I suggest to use official taxi company. Other trip prices: hotel Gdynia to Gdansk Old Town - day 60zl. night 80zl.... (20 / 27 usd) hotel Gdynia to Galeri Baltyckiej - day 50zl. night 70zl.... (16 / 23 usd) hotel Gdynia to Fashion House (outlet center) - day 80zl. night 110zl.... (27 / 35 usd) hotel Gdynia to Night Club Bodega - day 25zl. night 35zl... (8 / 12 usd) hotel Gdynia to Night Club Rozi - day 40zl. night 60zl (13 / 20 usd) night starts at 10PM and ends at 6AM. Sunday prices are like night prices. What if you end up the last 2? You have to pay the difference? How do you guarantee the they end up in multiples of exactly 4? that does not fit with the WAF Constitution which I will paste here for you. LH e) A guarantee of transportation of the above mentioned and the athletes between airport, train stations and hotel upon arrival and departure. Also transportation between hotel and venue where applicable.We can ask what if you will be late for last bus? If there will be really last 2 or last 1 person - I will pick you up by my car personally. Let's look on it from the both sides: good: - you don't have to wait until the buss will be full to go to the hotel - you don't have to wait until the busses starts going (you can go early) - you don't have to wait for next buss if the last one was full and no busses waiting - you can go when you want with your friends - taxi is more comfortable than bus wrong: - ... i don't see any. If you see any - just write it here. Last time in Gdansk during the Europeans we used the same system with the taxi. I didn't receive ANY question or complain about the transportation. Please order the transport from the airport and we will pick you up there. Prices are showed at the website.

ACCOMODATION FOR REFEREE by Anna Mazurenko
At the European Championships and the world we always has a problem with accommodation referees. Organizer prepares rooms according to the contract, then very late gets a list of referees and the dates of their arrivals , than it is hard to put them into a double rooms because one wants to be in the room with his wife, etc. Last year at the European Championships in Poland I suggested Harri Naskali a new stystem wich works great and was very convinient for both sides.
All referees live with their teams, anywhere they want and pay for their accommodation. On Friday, when Leonard decides which referee "deserved" for accomodation , he gives me a list of referees, and the number of nights which they entitled to a refund. I walk up to each referee and return them the money in cash for half the room they lived according to the rates of their hotel. In that system there is no problem if someone wants to be accomodated with his wife or a friend. And Leonard do not need to make decision before championships.
Leonard accept my proposal, so this year we work that way. You can book your room in one of the official hotels and share it with person you want. At the championships I returned your cost. Please notice that if you take a single room I will refund you only half of the price which your hotel charge for double rooms.
