Wed be thrilled to have you or your bot. Weve had several other teams running bots for people that couldnt make it, so thats no problem.

The event is 11 months away. If airfare is Eu1200 (max), and hotel etc is another Eu300, its really only about EU200 per month if a person starts saving now. Its definatley do-able.

You can also try for SMALL sponsors. Many teams find success getting Eu100 or Eu250 sponsorships. A few of them and youre done. NOt very glamourous, but it pays the bills.

Point out the press page:

Sponsors love press, but they often do it for a good feeling... (no really.)

I hope that you guys will start trying now to find a way to come. Ill waive the fees for the first 3 German teams that register - its a small bit I know, but it helps.

I would really like this to be a truly International competition. We will have Brit teams for soccer - but combat is the king. So please try to come.

Thanks for everything!
