Pete,
yes, the Second World Tacticat Series will be held soon. It was initially planned for mid June, but we are delaying it a bit to let people get used to the boats and plan for a really international attendance.

There are several points that remain open:
- The entry list. WTS races are open to everybody, but only registerd users (directly in Tacticat site or in an associated site) will receive WTS points.

- The classification system, WTS is held during 2 or three days (24-72 hours). All races with 4 or more boats count. Points are given as usual (6 per user boat + 1 per robot that ended after you). Users keep the 10 best results scored during the 2-3 days. It is not clear if this system is the best. Any ideas?

- Trophys. They are virtual, like the boats. Winner gets the right to show the WTS Cup in his boat during a period. What we are considering is to make a T-shirt also, for the winner. It would be nice to have T-shirts for everybody, but this Tacticat thing runs with no money, no sponsor…, virtual trophys are cheap.

- We are thinking the possibility to nominate national champs, for those nationalities with more than a minimum number of boats. Other classifications might be also possible (attending to geographical, sailed class in reality….)

Well, if there are no better ideas we will soon announce the event. First WTS was a success, but only congregated 30 users/boats from two countries. We hope to make better this time.
