Mods, can you please sticky this thread until March 1?

IPSC Canada has been blessed by a large quantity of slots (60) for the World Shoot in Bali this year, enough that I think that I can say that anyone who wants to go can go with a good chance that I'll be correct. Naturally, if we get more shooters than slots we will revert to the IPSC Canada Ranking System described on IPSC Canada's web page.

You should be aware of any political issues in Indonesia (the Internet can fill you in) and that you will be required to lock your gun in an armory each night while on premises and that generally, this trip is going to cost each person somewhere in the vicinity of $4000 to $5000.

The WS Website is currently: http://www.selpro.com.hk/ipsc1/
The dates are approx. Oct 26 – Nov 2.

Once you have weighed this information and decided that you want to go, contact your section coordinator (NOT ME!!!) and let them know and provide them with a $60 deposit for your slot.

The deadline for contacting your section coordinators is February 22nd. (Yes, you have to be an IPSC member to go) I will be collecting their lists the weekend of the 23rd/24th and letting the region of Indonesia know who's going the following week.

Should you have any questions about the event, post them here, and I'll try to answer them - but please, let's not get into any #####ing and whining about location, costs, armories, etc. Let's keep this one to information and facts and maybe who's going. You can start your own thread for the complaints. ;)

I've attended the WS in South Africa, Ecuador and the Philippines. I know that it is the event of a lifetime for anyone who shoots IPSC and this may be a great chance to experience it. There is a chance that the next WS may be in the USA and I can guarantee you that for that one, our slots will be sold out immediately, even if we get 200!!!

I for one who (unless those 649 number come in) won't be going but if your thinking of it I know the range they have in Bali is one of the finest in the world. I know a few people who shot the A A championship there around 5 years ago and they loved it. Bail is also a very nice place too. It too bad the place is so far and expensive to get to. :popCorn:

For those who are going good luck and take lots of pictures
 
A couple of updates...

IPSC has not told me how to pay the deposit for slots yet (they were due the end of last month) so if you still want to go, there's a second chance. They may drop the hammer any day now so decide ASAP.

The Global Village has leaked information that 3-4 match hotels are apparently going to allow you to keep your gun in your room instead of the armory.

Another update.

Apparently, the DRAFT version of the match website changed the deadline for me to pay for slots to March 31st, shortly before it was take down, so we have a few more weeks for people to decide. Your SCs have been updated. Let them know.

The OFFICIAL Website of the WS goes up later this week. Link off www.ipsc.org
 
so what's happening with hotel bookings and such? It seems the only way to get the ride to the range each day (pray it's not screwed up like Ecuador) is to book through the MD or something. Is anyone from IPSC Canada going to help with this or are we on our own?

You need slot #s to do bookings and they won't give the RDs slot #s until April 1. Check your email and stand by. You will be doing your own bookings, though.
 
If you guys have any questions on Bali feel free to give me a shout. I did my LTA there on my last tour. ABSOLUTLY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!! It was expensive for the wife to get there but we averaged spending only $30.00 US a day for the both of us to live like kings. Probably the best spot I have ever vacationed in the world.

If you are hesitating, don't. Safest, nicest people, most beautiful spot there is.
