Magic Tigger Cup and European Cup Finals 2010
HostHi everybody!

With a little less than two weeks until the last European UFO major and the first UFO European Cup Finals we'd like to inform you all about the following.

The last European major of this year will be organized by MAD Happy Tails (The Magic Tigger Trophy) on 18 September in Den Ham, Netherlands. The last chance to
qualify for the European Cup Finals. You can sign in for the major online, at http://www.maddogfrisbee.nl.

Some information about the European Cup Finals: 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. (www.ufoworldcup.org).

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 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 first UFO European Cup Champions! And of course the top 3 of the throw & catch at each local and major is also qualified for the throw & catch finals!

Other exciting news: For the major on Saturday we have the following judges: UFO board members Tom Wehrli from the United States and Reint Elzinga from the Netherlands, Kelly Briers from Belgium, and Multi-time World Cup Finalist and National Freestyle Champion Christi Campbell-Sexton from the United States!

For the European Cup Finals the judges will be Tom Wehrli, Christi Campbell-Sexton, Reint Elzinga and Karen Mulders.

On Friday Christi will do a clinic in Beerzerveld, at the location of Hondenschool Happy Tails. This is 5 minutes from Den Ham. If you want to be at Christi's clinic, send Karen an e-mail. Let us know what you want to learn/improve, etc. (happytails@...).

On Sunday during the breaks of the Finals Tom Wehrli will give a workshop long distance throwing techniques. If you want to be at Tom's workshop, send Karen an e-mail.

On Saturday evening there will be a UFO judging clinic, at the competition field. This judging clinic will be free of charge. Next year UFO Europe only wants people that attended a UFO judging clinic to judge locals and majors. This does not only count for the freestyle, but also for the throw & catch. Of course we will give these judging clinics at least once or twice a year. Hope to see you all at the last UFO event of this year in Den Ham,
