VM-2011 allokering av platser

Hej,

Nu har WCF allokerat platserna till VM nästa år. Sverige fick 3 platser. Systemet baseras på rankinglistan och tack vare Sveriges tre topp-placeringar i rankingen ledde detta till tre platser. Det är första gången Sverige får deltaga med mer än en spelare i ett VM.

För att anmäla sitt intresse till en av dessa tre platserna skickar man lämpligtvis e-post till förbundskaptenen och meddelar att man gärna vill spela för Sverige i kommande VM. Denna anmälan behöver göras senast 20 februari 2011. De tre högst rankade spelarna kommer att få Sveriges VM-platser. Resterande anmäls för ett wild-card. Alla som har runt 2000 i ranking eller bättre har en realistisk chans att få en wild-card-plats.
