WPC 2009 IntranetIt is an enormous job for a championship organization to print and distribute all the task definition sheets, scores and other papers to competitors. This leads to delays.In an effort to streamline the system and be more environmentally friendly, nearly all this information, including task briefs at WPC 2009 will be published electronically via an on-site intranet. There will be very little physical printed output from the organization. An intranet is a sort of private website operated at the championship airfield so it will not be subject to the unreliabilities and delays of the internet, thus making the very latest information always instantly available. On site there will be an 'internet cafe' and a good wireless connection for both intranet and internet. For best results, every team is encouraged to come to the championship with a wireless enabled laptop AND a printer, they may find themselves at a disadvantage if they don't. There will be two URLs for the intranet.
Notice of changes or additions to the intranet will also be (already are being) distributed in short messages via Twitter and you are encouraged to discover for youself a good way of receiving these messages on your mobile phone. See the Twitter messages page and after CZ nationals both in the latest news section. After WPC 2009The championship finished 5534 days ago.Congratulations to the new World champions! Was this experiment to publish everything electronically a success?
