We just received links to the first photo sets that were placed online, and we’ve also posted our own photo set on Facebook. Feel free to use the photos, and make sure to tag Open-Dutch on Instagram, Facebook etc. We had a fantastic day, and we cannot wait to see everyone again next year!
We know many of you have appreciated the special prize for Open Dutch winners that we have been handing out, and we are sure that those who win this year will be proudly wearing this year’s prize! We’ve asked Harry Gentenaar of Studio HG to design a winner’s shirt, and we love the design and hope you do too!
This is the moment many of you have been waiting for! The draws and the timetable (estimation!) can be found on sportdata. As you can see, we have a very packed agenda again, so make sure to listen to the announcers and watch the screens! When your group comes up, please go to the appropriate designated holding area. We cannot afford to wait for competitors, so listen carefully and watch the screens closely!
Coaches and competitors, please note the following times for the weigh-in and the height check on Friday and Saturday! A declaration of consent and data protection is mandatory for each competitor (see the last page of the invitation). The form needs to be handed in at the verification and weigh-in/height check on the 30th or the 31st. Please weigh in, if possible, on Friday to avoid long queues on Saturday!
Every competitor needs to hand in the declaration of consent and data protection form, so please make sure to do this on Friday between 18:00 and 20:00 or on Saturday between 7:15 and 8:15. This applies to everyone who wants to participate, regardless of age. If you are a minor, your parents (or legal guardian) will have to sign the agreement as well.
The competition will start at 9:15, we will start on time, and we will not extend the weigh-in time slot so make sure to be there on time! We do not make any exceptions!
The registration system will close today, which means that if you haven’t submitted your referees, coaches, and your latest changes for competitors yet, you’d better do so before 23:59 Central European Time! Errors made during the registration that would lead to a change in the division of a competitor can’t be processed after today, the 20th of January. In the event of changes (e.g., a change in participants’ weight class) or the withdrawal of a competitor from the competition, please send requests by email to h.vones@itf-d.de and copy wvdmortel16@gmail.com. Changes or withdrawals are considered accepted once they have been confirmed by email.
Invoices for the tournament will be sent out tomorrow, the 21st of January. Please note that a 75 Euro fine will be applied for every missing umpire. In case you missed it in the invite, the requirements for umpires are as follows:
