- zalecenie od Grecji aby wszyscy zmienili sobie kiedy wybieraja repre, zeby konczyc to z koncem roku bo potem problemy moga byc z rejestracja
- problem z rosja aby wystepowala jako rosja
- nie ma problemu z rosyjskimi graczami bedacymi rezydentami cypru i wystepujacymi jako Cypr
- mozemy kandydowac ponownie. przez to ze był covid i odwolalismy to sie nie liczy to ze mielismy spot i teraz mozemy go wygrac znow zanim przejdzie całe kolko gospodarzy. kandydowac mozemy przed euro. zglosily sie dwa inne kraje na razie
- glosowanie przy pozwolic na draft organizatorom euro wygralo 1 glosem, ale to za malo aby wpisac do CHARTa (to kurwa jakiś smutny zart bo pytanie bylo z dupy sformulowane i nic jak sie okazalo nie szlo za tym)

duzo gadania bylo o tym jak w Grecji bedzie, ze wyniki na kartkach, ze 4 sedziow bedzie, ze pitu pitu

Eurobowl Captains' Meeting Minutes
Date: February 6th 2024
Location: Online via Discord
Commitee Members Present: Arioso (chair & German captain), Bagouze, Janninu (rep malta), Joemanji, Raging82 (capt Ireland), Optimus Prime (organiser)
Captains Present: Bachokolio (Bulgaria), Feppel (Norway), Kaju (Sweden), Kfoged (England), Cdassak (Greece), Purdindas (Scotland), Tripleskull ( Denmark), Seanh1986 (Canada), Matttimebandit (Hungary), Edwin (Netherlands), Leon_pl (Poland), Jokaero (rep Switzerland), Tonalt (Finland), Olivierdulac (rep France), Grom (Czechia), Fuel (Lithuania), Liam (Italy), Grither (USA).

Arioso opened the meeting by thanking the captains for attending this first online meeting as opposed to holding in person at the event, which we have done by request of the captains to allow more time for socialising at the event.
Agena Item #1: Committee election.
Discussion: The committee must be relected before each event, although Arioso mentions that we missed this opportunity before or at the Malta Eurobowl. All five current committee members confirm their wish to stand again. The other attendees are asked if any of them wish to stand for election to the committee. None do. Tripleskull asks for confirmation of the timing for these elections, which is confirmed to be once per year.
Action: With five positions and five candidates, no election is required and the current committee is releected unanimously.

Agenda Item #2: Hungary Eurobowl organisation.
Discussion: Arioso raises the question of how efforts to organise the next Eurobowl in Hungary 2025 are proceeding, the committee having had no contact so far. Mattimebandit confirms that he is the lead organiser for the event and that efforts are well underway, offering to present these to the committee.
Action: Mattimebandit will be added to the organising committee group to further discuss what has been prepared by Hungary so far.

Agenda Item #3: Eurobowl Greece organisation.
Discussion: Optimus Prime makes a presentation regarding the event to be held this year in Greece. The following points are discussed:
Optimus explains Greece challenges. They have partnered with a fantasy convention because they have many years of experience organising large events.
No issues with capacity or wider convention attendence, the amount of people are spread out over 2 days.
They spent more in tables and chairs to ensure quality.
Food is a great consideration they are to ensure good quality food, coffee etc.
Edwin asked about temperature, to expect temperatures in 30 degrees at noon. The venue has good ventilation and when they were there in September, it was comfortable.
Tripleskull asked about sound, to keep in mind good quality sound as this is an issue with such big events. Optimus confirmed this was in hand.
Optimus confirms that they might have a few more spots for the event, but need to make sure logistics are not affected to feed all the EurOpen attendees.
It is recommended to travel to the event via Athens' efficient metro system rather than by bus or rental car.
Question is raised regarding accessibility. Blue and Red lines are wheelchair accessible with regards to metro. The green line is the older one and so is not so well equipped so should be checked first. The accessibility for venue is good.
Purdindas asked about software system, it is confirmed that Mike Davies will use the same as in Malta.
Massimo Rolex is head ref, team of around 5 people for ref.
Edwin queried to have good quality end tournament presentation.
Point raised regarding code of conduct , asked captains to help.

Agenda Item #3: Updating Eurobowl charter to close loopholes.
Discussion: Arioso raises the point of a few minor updates required to the charter in the form of loopholes or ommisions of previous votes, which require ratification from the captains. These are (1) Non-playing coaches should be able to substitute in for unwell players in the same manner as non-playing captains. (2) Non-European nations should have full voting rights at the Captains' Meeting. (3) It was reiterated that the non-European nations were orginally granted entry to Eurobowl on the understanding that hosting rights would not leave Europe. This was originally passed by Captains' vote but not added to the charter in error.
Action: Points (1) and (2) were passed unanimously by way of no objection. Point (3) required no vote and will be added to the charter.

Agenda Item #4: Russia.
Discussion: Discussion regarding the entry of both a Russian team to the Eurobowl and Russian nationals who wish to participate as part of Team Cyprus where they now reside. Some concerns raised by a number of countries.
Action: After a good discussion the consensus seemed to be that whilst many nations would not welcome an official Team Russia to Eurobowl, individual Russian citizens who now reside in other countries would be welcomed so long as they do not make any reference to Russia or associated current political events. The committee will speak to Russian residents in Cyprus.

Agenda Item #5: Future hosting rights.
Discussion: It was explained for new attendees that hosting rights for future events are awarded to the highest placed nation that has previously not hosted a Eurobowl (and wishes to host). Poland passed on their chance to host the event due to unavoidable complications caused by the COVID epidemic. The captains were asked if Poland should be allowed back into the pot to compete for future hosting rights. All eligible nations were asked if they wished to be considered for future hosting. The question was raised as to when the deadline to decide was.
Actions: Poland were agreed to be allowed back into the pot for the chance to host future Eurobowls by unanimous way of no objection. Scotland and Czechia confirmed their desire to host. Poland will consider and confirm at a later date. It was confirmed that the deadline to confirm a desire to host is any time before the event begins, and this should be expressed to the committee and event organiser.

Agenda Item #6: Drafting for Eurobowl.
Discussion: A brief presentation was made by Bagouze regarding allowing future hosts to use drafting as a possible method of pairing players. Points were made in favour and in criticism. A vote was held via online application to alter the charter to allow future hosts this option.
Action: The vote concluded 10 to 9 in favour, but this was not enough for the two thirds majority required to make a change to the charter, and so the vote did not pass.

Next Meeting: At a similar time next year.
Minutes Prepared By: Janninu, Joemanji.
