Exactly. Suppose you train for a 10.000 meters athletics event and 1 day before
the event the organisers say 'hm, lets change it to 20.000'. Wonder what would
happen then....

You are right. Its nonsense to go there. Besides, the rules could be changed
when you would be in Maastricht already. F.e.: "Programmers from Islands should
pay the double entree fee". Or "Programs based on animal names are not allowed".
Seriously, you can't trust the ICCA anymore. Anything can happen and most likely
we are not going to like whatever they come up with.

Great idea! Can I join you!? The beaches in Holland are nice! BTW, the women are
too :-)). Much more fun than an ICCA event...
