Another option is camping at the City Camp Frankfurt
http://www.city-camp-frankfurt.de
and the youth hostel

Furthermore we like to point out, that as long as you're staying in the centre of Frankfurt you won't be far from the event location. The public transport system is very good and can take you everywhere within the city very quickly.
Players Meeting

Shred 30 rules
In shred 30 the goal is to reach as high score as possible. No top limit is involved. The players score will be counted according to a formula: adds + (uniques * add ratio), where adds mean the total number of adds you manage to hit in 30 seconds, uniques mean the amount of different unique moves you will hit and add ratio comes from a formula: adds/contacts . wont be any limit for contacts.
The scoring starts when a player hits/tries to hit his first visible move (basically first 3 add move or higher). For example toe->clip->ripwalk , where ripwalk is the first visible move and toe>clip are preparing moves . If a player drops preparing move it is counted as a drop and time starts from there. Also limit for preparing moves is two. If player hits toe->clip->clip then time starts from the second clipper. All drops / handcathes will be counted as 0 add contacts. Time starts from first contact / attempted contact.

Freestyle Judges Meeting
The freestyle judges meeting takes place on Saturday the 15th of July at 9 oclock pm. If you have any questions about the freestyle judging system please write an email to the official Freestyle Judges: WFC-Judges@ifpa.footbag.org
Footbag Net
All net players competing in this tournament should wear shirts in all their matches. Also teams competing in doubles events should have matching outfits. It is enough to have matching shirts. If this is a problem for players registered without partner, the tournament organisation is willing to help.
Net sets
Net posts will be movable badminton posts on artificial grass as well as Jimmy-C nets on natural grass. There are about 25 net fields on both grounds. Every pool of every diziplin will be asked to play on one or two net sets for the prelims.
Net posts will fall down if you crash on them. Setting a net up again after crashing on it, is fast and easy.
Refereeing in prelims
All matches in pools should be refereed by a player in same pool. Players playing in a match do the line judging themselves and the head judge is there for making the calls in case of conflicts. The head judge will also be judging net fouls and contact fouls. Also, the head judge is responsible for getting the match going in time and informing the results to the tournament staff.
Coming and going
Players should inform the tournament staff at the venues when they arrive to the site and especially when they leave. This is very important in order to staying in schedule and also avoiding periods of waiting and uncertainty. When leaving the site, even just for a while, it is important to know where the players have gone and when they are coming back.
