Hi Rudi PACDF is open. Don´t use this kind of expression. We are working for developing draughts in American and we are very open. You can find in the FMJD regulations decided in the end of last year that America should qualify players from differents countries. And Africa from 6 differents countries. The idea is very simple: WC 2009 in Brazil needs many countries and not many players from few countries. The idea is to get around 32 countries. So, the firs in the reserve list of America is Mr. Joseph Leon Paul, because he is from USA and he was qualified in the first 8 places. If Sadiek can´t play in WC 2009 Brazil, then his place will go to the next in the qualification, Alix Louis, But, Alix is not a new country, than will go to the next one, Kemnaad, because is this situation, Kemnaad will be a new country. If Forbin can´t go, he will be replaced by a player from new country, and this player will be from T&T. Did you understand ? It´s clear and open.

Ther are some questions I have that are not really clear to me, and maybe the board of the PADCF can give a reaction on this. 1: Alix and Kemnaad are the reserve. Does it mean that the #7 of PADCF is ALIX? or is there some decision made that is still a secret to the outside world. Can we be more OPEN on this. 2: Can the PADCF board state in what cases ALIX and Kemnaad will be eligible to fill in. E.g. If Forbin can not make it to the WC, will Alix take his place or the next guy from Guadeloupe. Who will fill in say for instance Dr. Sadiek can make it to the WC - Alix or Kemnaad. We need to be clear on these issues to prevent frustration in the organisation....The PADFC needs to be more OPEN. 3. When was it officially anounced that 5 countries need to represent the PADCF. I don't recall seeing any correspondence on this.

Dear Raoul: Congratulations for the success of the 15th Panamerican Draughts Championship. I get the opportunity to let you know that my book about the Draught Game is ongoing and should be ready for August. It will be written in Spanish.

Thanks again Lélio! Maybe Hensley or Raoul can answer this: On the FMJD Forum Henk Stoop wrote: "FMJD regulations are Maximum of 2 players per country, not counting Georgiev, Schwarzman, sponsor place, organisation place, wild card FMJD. Division over continents: 20 Europe, 9 Africa, 6 Asia, 7 America, 1 Oceania." Who is number 7 of America? And will mister Paul of the USA be the first substitute for the world championship?

Dear all According FMJD rules the 15th Panamerican had to qualify 6 players from 5 countries. So, are qualified: Pierre Ricardo (Haiti) - John Sadiek (Suriname) - João Batista Brandão (Brazil) - Humberto Bifolco (Brazil) - Miguel almanzar (Dominican Republic) - Frantz Forbin (Guadeloupe). Alix Louis and Rinaldi Kemnaad are in the reserv list.

Hi Hanco and everybody Mr. Joseph Leon Paul is not qualified to the WC 2009 São Paulo. He will be number 1 in the reserve list of America because he finished in the first 8 places and because he is from a country - USA - that has no player qualfiied yet. So, on July we will know if he will be confirmed or not. And dates for the WC 2009 São Paulo are: 15, 16 October, arrival days. 17 October, Opening Ceremony. 18 October, 1st round.
