Atlantic Cup – Assistants required

as you are aware the Atlantic will take place on 26th & 27th June 2010. There will be four games (2 semi-finals on Saturday and the bronze medal game and final on Sunday). The officiating crews will be made up of officials from Britain, Ireland, Belgium and the Netherlands.

However, 9 ancilliary officials are required for each game – chain crew (3 people), ball persons (2 for each team = 4 for each game) and statisticians (2 for each game).

Each team is required to provide 3 people for one of the Atlantic Cup games. These people do not need to be offcials – any three members (players, coaches, etc) can be nominated. This was agreed at the last IAFA Board meeting so is compulsory for ALL teams.

Could you please forward me the names of your three people and which game is their preferred game by 6pm on Sunday evening. If more than 3 teams pick the same game the first 3 to reply will get their choice. The games are:
SF1 – 12 noon Saturday – Brussels Bulls v Lelystad Commanders
SF2 – 3pm Saturday – UL Vikings v Dudelane Dragons 3rd/4th place – 12 noon Sunday Final – 3pm Sunday.

Michael Smith,
