Because of lack of interest, I had to cancel the ITSA apartment (today was the deadline for a full refund).
The Brazilian player(s) I was expecting got a snag with delays in the expedition of passports and won't be coming. The Colombians couldn't raise enough money (even if ITSA provided help).
I'm going to share a hotel room with Dale. Cuper and Gus (if he comes) will have to find some other place.
This is the list registered for spintop freestyles as of last week:
1. Gustavo Castro (Mexico)
2. Marco Palma (Mexico)
3. Futoshi Maruyam (Japan)
4. Jon Gates (USA)
5. Jakub Konecny (Czech Republic)
6. Daniel Konecny (Czech Republic)
7. Tom Kunkel (USA)
8. Jose Madrigal (USA)
I should know if Gus is actually coming in the next few days (a matter of $).
The Earl told me he will register soon.
I imagine Taka will also freestyle.
Dale mentioned Ko, but I forgot to asked him if he knew something specific.
It should be a good contest and we'll have fun for sure.
