Turns out this competition will also be the first with a live feed to the internet . Many comps have made this sort of promise in the past, but here they have the equipment to make it happen.

[quote=flying_spanner;720997]I Wish I were good enough to enter.
[quote] You know this is exactly the kind of attitude we are really struggling to overcome in NZ. You do realise that competitions (especially the first ones) are a learning experience - you can't expect to win at your first comp, but you might have a great time, learn a lot, set a new PB and make some new friends. There's no minimum ability required, we won't think less of you for trying, and the sooner you start the faster you'll improve. Why don't you come to Wellington for the next comp? It's a lot closer/cheaper than Italy and you can bring your partner too! Email me and I'll add you to the mailing list.

Are there any more details available about the competition? I do not see any of it addressed on the http://www.aidaitalia.com/ website yet.

I will be trying to come. It looks like it could be a very nice and well organized competition, so I hope there will be more info coming (answering trux's questions etc.).
And does it say anywhere if the winner will be overall or separate men / women? Cheers, Elisabeth

Europe Evolution Cup - Welcome
The new website is up and running, with press release, registration form and contact details. There will be a limit of 40 athletes for both the AIDA & CMAS competitions, so I would recommend getting in early. To see the location visit Turismo Sportivo e Sociale al mare e in montagna

The CMAS part of this competition is now full, but there are still places left for AIDA athletes. Many of the big guns have confirmed, and you can see a list of some of the athletes who will attend at the official site

Can you tell us how will CMAS calculate points for static and dynamic?
*** Ok, I found it, so CMAS will give 1pts for each 2sec and AIDA will give 2pts for each 5sec! That's interesting.... One more thing do, I can't fin that in list on the official page. Last edited by Goran Colak; August 29th, 2008 at 19:37.

Wow what a list of names!
Tom, Stephane, Stig, Peter, Henning, Carlos, Patrick, Herbert, William Winram, William Truebridge, Natalia Molchanova, Natalia Avcheenko, Mandy-Rea! What a line-up! I'm sorry to say but I don't know the CMAS divers yet, but I love to see and follow their performances and get to know their names too. I'm missing our Dynamic record holder Dave Mullins, and more women attending! Go Elisabeth! I got the impression it will be coverd on the regular main stream sports tv, not extensively, but just a few small blurbs. Because of mayor commercial backing and the before mentioned extensive professional cameracrew. The region overview video is a real slick professional piece using al the psycholiguistic latest buzzwords. I hope there will be a few good presentators to comment and explain the uneducated audiance the beauty and challenge of freediving. Maybe a nice job opertunity for Sebastian Naslund? May it be an exiting competition! Kars

I am little bit surprised that the main prize is only 1000€ - it does not even cover the cost of the participation. I thought it would be rather on the level of the Dubai static competition where the prizes were at least about ten times higher if I remember well. And unlike here, also the second and third competitor received a very nice prize. Well, let's be happy with this one as it is - it's definitely better than nothing at all

WOOOW, all the BIG names on one place, hope Dave will come to, and some other guys that are missed, but this is really fantastic, finally we have all big guys on one place, head to head, this is by my opinion the strongest freediving competition in history! I can't wait to see it and I feel great privilage to be thare and compete against them.... great.

I won't be going I'm afraid, it was enough of a struggle finding the time and money to come to Egypt! I'll watch with interest though, I expect there will be some big performances in both disciplines.

Fair enough Dave! Regarding static points, can someone provide closer explanation of that? The point system I found is... well, at least strange...
CMAS 1pts for 2sec AIDA 2pts for 5sec

It would be nice (at least for me and other fellow Czechs) to see also Martin Stepanek, although pool disciplines are not his favorite ones. But I guess he cannot let FIT at the ice for several months.

About the "Star List", they don't say they will participate, they just say thay are "champions".
