Q & A Attempts to Deal with Confusion Over Euros Entries

Hi everyone,

Below you will find some of the most frequent questions concerning registration etc answered. If you think you have not received an answer to your questions sent to me and you don't get answers from this e-mail either, please cointact me again at info@eudc2008.

eu. Considering that I have received approximately 250 e-mails in the past 4 days, you might forgive me if I've accidentally overlooked your e-mail.

Q: Why didn't I receive a registration confirmation by e-mail and what should I do to get one?

Every person who registered or was registered by someone else should have received a registration confirmation to the e-mail address that was indicated on the registration form. If you didn't receive a confirmation, the reason might be a faulty e-mail address – considering that the registration was probably quite hasty for all of you, it could be that you simply mistyped it etc.

If you let us know that you did not receive a confirmation, we will send you a new one.

The only essential information contained in the registration confirmation was your password for Phase 3. Other than that, you have not missed out on anything important! You won't be needing the password before end of April, when we are in Phase 3, so you can probably expect to receive the password at some point in April.

If you didn't receive the confirmation, but you are on the list at our website, then don't worry – you are registered!

Q: Our team received two passwords, which one should we use?

The password is not meant for the team, but for everyone's personal use. Every debater and judge should have a personal password. You can and have to use the password during Phase 3 for making any corrections in the registration information you have submitted and to give us additional information regarding your arrival details, dietary restrictions etc.

Q: Will there be a waiting list for teams/judges?

There are no waiting lists in Phase 1 of registration. Everyone who missed out on a place in Phase 1 will have to try their luck again in Phase 2.

We will be creating a waiting list for both teams and judges (including independent judges) in Phase 2 of registration, after the prescribed team and adjudicator places are filled. So if you can't register in Phase 2 because the team or adjudicator cap is full, you will have the possibility to be marked on the waiting list.

Q: How can I assure we will get places in phase 2?

Evidently we are not capable of assuring anyone that you will be able to register your team/judge. The only way to assure this is to be very quick once Phase 2 opens.

Q: What should I do if I mistyped my name when registering?

You will be able to correct your names and other data in Phase 3 of registration. Until then we will only be making the corrections that are essential for registration to run smoothly (for example if you registered two "A" teams from one institution etc). The x's and y's will also have to be replaced by names during Phase 3, we will not be doing this earlier.

Q: Has my payment come through?

Payments for registrations in Phase 1 are due on 23 March. We will start checking payments from 17 March onwards, then we will assign the "Confirmed" status to all participants who have paid. We will be answering your questions concerning arrival of payments after 17 March as well. If you find that your status is not confirmed by say 19-20 March, although you think it should be, please contact us at info@eudc2008.eu.

Q: Is there a possibility of late payment?

Unfortunately we do not accept late payments, regardless of what sort of impediment are you encountering. All registrants that have not paid by 23 March or at least sent us a copy of the payment order effected by that date, will be deleted from the list.

Last note on payments

We have pointed out several times, that if the payment deadline isn't followed, we are going to cancel the registration of these teams/adjudicators. If they can not pay under their university, they can for example pay from their ownfunds and ask reimbursement from the university later on. If they need a different/corrected invoice for that later, we can provide that. The important thing is that all the teams and judges pay by 23 March.


Places for Phase 2

The places that are made available after someone has not paid will end up being free spots in Phase 2. For the information regarding Phase 2, please read the description of registration system from our homepage.
