Hi,

As for the last season (2006/2007), the French underwater activities federation (FFESSM) decides to organize a global underwater competition, with all the activities, as for the CMAS Games in Bari. So there will be not only Hockey, but Fins Swimmins, Free diving, Photo, Underwater poker (erf, no, it does not still exists ...). The French underwater hockey commission does not have the possibility to change the date of this global event. So, it will be difficult for the international players (10 men, 10 women, some juniors ...), but not unreachable. The french Rugby championship has started just one week after the end of the Wolrds...

By the way, the official web site for UWH in France is http_hockeysub.ffessm.fr, even if Tom's site contains a lot of information
Sorry for the english-only-people, the site is in French...
