Dear everyone;

******************************************
*** Change Schedule for Rule Decision 2003
******************************************

        Last week (September 30) was the  deadline of proposals for 
        RoboCup 2003. We had one propsal from Takeshi Morimoto.
        (Thanks Takeshi.)

        2003 organizing & technical committee talked last week
        Takeshi's fourth proposal (IV: Schedule for Rule Decision),
        and decided that we adapt it without voting process.

        reason 1: The prototype will come from Takeshi.
                  The deadline of prototype submission is his matter.

        reason 2: It is a good news for other teams that 2003 rules 
                  will be announced at Dec. 2002 rather Apr. 2003.
                  (earlier 3, 4 months than 2002 :)

        New Schedule for Rule Decision;                 
        2002
        October:   deadline of prototype submission
        November:  voting for other proposals
        December:  announcement of rules (first version)

        Best regards;

Dear Friends

The following is the schedule of RoboCup 2003 in Padova, Italy
given by Enrico.

Satoshi

Tuesday July 1, 2003, Field construction -
Close to public - robots can be delivered

Wednesday July 2, First day of Set-up - Registration opening
Thursday July 3, Second  day of Set-up
Friday July 4, Third day of Set-up - Welcome Reception

Saturday July 5, First day of Preliminary  - Opening Ceremony
Sunday July 6, Second day of Preliminary
Monday July 7, Third day of Preliminary

Tuesday July 8, First day of Symposium - Social Dinner
Wednesday July 9, Second day of Symposium

Thursday July 10, Octavi (if needed), Quarter, and Semifinals
Friday July 11, Semifinals (if needed), and Finals - Awards Ceremony

Saturday July 11, Field break down
Close to public - last day for shipping robots home


The rationale is the following:

- League team members have up to 3 full days of set-up, if needed

- Faculty members may arrive by Friday, July 4, if not needed in set-up

- Trustees and Exec meetings could start since Friday, July 4

- Robocuppers can sleep on Saturday July 5, in Italy, to get cheap flight

- Junior League can run since Saturday July 5 till Thursday July 10

- PadovaFiere maybe will organize an Industrial Automation Exhibit on 
July 5/6/7

- Everybody can either enjoy a free week-end in Italy on 
Saturday/Sunday July 11/12, or join their family at home by Saturday 
July 11

- No more overlap with Agent Conference. RoboCuppers can reach 
Australia by Monday July 14 (2 days travel time needed)

- The overlap with ICAR is reduced only to the Set-up days. Students 
must arrive during set-up days. They cannot go to ICAR, but other 
Robocuppers ICAR-participants can reach Venice Airport on Friday 
Evening, or on Saturday morning. Non-robocupper ICAR-participants can 
spend a free week-end in Europe, and then join  RoboCup Symposium and 
Finals.

- Non-robocupper participants can join on July 8/9/10/11 both 
Symposium and Finals. They can sleep on Saturday July 11 in Italy, to 
get cheap flight


I hope everybody can be satisfied!

Looking forward to mmeting You in Padua
