(For release June 17th, 2010)
UFO European Cup Series is online-
This weekend is the first European UFO Major of 2010. The "HomeComing Cup" will be held in Assen, Netherlands on Saturday and Sunday, June 19-20.
This is a celebration not only of the dogs, but this year, a special celebration as our friend and UFO Board Member Reint Elzinga has returned safely home to Holland from Afghanistan.
This is also a good time to tell you all about a new UFO prize this year: The UFO European Cup Championship. This event series takes place within the UFO World Cup series.
Teams in Europe, competing in European UFO events, will have their points tracked in a second, separate series this year. The current standings for the European Cup Series are already online at the UFO homepage - just click on 'Standings' and you will see the new link to the European Cup Standings on the left.
The series works just like the World Cup series: teams earn points in the Open division at UFO events. At the end of the European UFO season, there will be a European Cup Finals event in Den Ham, Netherland on September 18th and 19th. The 18th is a UFO Major, and the last chance for European teams to get points and qualify for the Final event on Sunday. On Sunday, September 19th, the first event UFO European Cup Finals will kick off.
European teams that have earned 65 World Cup points in European UFO events are qualified for this event. Unlike the overall World Cup Finals, this event is "winner-take-all". The winners of the event on the 19th of September in Den Ham will be the UFO European Cup Champions!
We are very excited about the new event and the new Championship up for grabs in Europe. We hope to see lots of you out there at the event!
Keep the teeth on the disc and the paws in the air!
