Bulletin 1 published 1st December 2012 http://wrc2013.com/event-info/bulletin1

The WRC2013 Organizing Team welcomes all participants at the official website of the 11th World Rogaining Championships 2013. The event will be held on July 26 – 27, 2013 in Pskov region of Russia.

 
Registration will open on December 15, 2012 at 0.00 Moscow time.
 
There will be several new features introduced at the WRC2013.
 
A limit of 1,200 entrants has been established for WRC2013.  It is not expected that this limit is reached during the two-week Phase One entry period and thus the IRF has not compiled a list of Prequalified Entrants (PQEs) for 2013WRC.  However, in case of the unlikely situation that this limit of 1,200 entrants is exceed during the Phase One entry period the IRF requests all PQEs entering the event during Phase One to nominate their PQE status. All Pre-Qualifying Entrants wishing to take advantage of their Pre-Qualifying Entrant status must register during this period. After the end of Phase One such status will no longer be valid.
Please check whether your team has Pre-Qualifying status.
 
The IRF is introducing 3 new categories for WRC2013:

• Men's Ultra Veteran (MUV) — men, all must be 65 years of age or over
• Women's Ultra Veteran (WUV) — women, all must be 65 years of age or over
• Mixed Ultra Veteran (XUV) — at least one man and one woman, all must be 65 years of age or over

Ultra Veteran teams are automatically entered in the Open, Veteran and Super Veteran categories of their gender class.
All teams that are eligible for the Ultra Veterans (65 years & over) category (MUV, WUV & XUV) are considered as Automatic Pre-Qualifying-Entrants. Please register during Phase One entry period to take the advantage of your status.
 
We will do our best to make the 2013 World Rogaining Championships competitive and the course interesting and demanding in both navigation and endurance!
