Was anyone also in Leipzig 4 years ago. I would like to know what differences were between this two tournaments?

I mean it was the first event about this size in Austria. So I am really interested if you enjoyed the tournament. Was the organisation good and so on...?

Most players I talked to, said that they enjoyed it really and no one complained about anything. :-)

Unfortunately we have not a lot of experience with TV in Austria because it does not occur often that games are on TV. :-(

In leipzig, they used a yellow ball on a green floor, it was much better on TV... Yes

but the floor was very good for playing... I would say that's the most important thing.

If only that were true. The fact of the matter is this sport, especially the indoor variety, will not survive without television revenue and audiences. We needed the IWC to be a hit on TV, and it was a struggle for anyone with anything less than a 32" LCD/plasma screen to find the ball at any point in the play. I doubt that we'll hear good news about viewship from this one, unlike the great numbers reported the recent outdoor WCs.

good point keely some of my friends tryed to watch it and they thought it was impossible to see the ball i can see it because i understand the game and know about where the ball is depending on how the players act but they didnt have a chance
