it giet oan

This summer we'll have another f.ds championship: the 2015 edition.

We've already talked about it a bit in this thread but now it's time for the next steps.

Today I'll create a couple of threads to get some discussion going (timing, structure, league?)
Next week I will add polls to those discussions to actually get to a result.
In three weeks I hope to announce it on the main blog and open up signups.

I think the non-dutch deserve to know were the title originates from:

It are the famous words said when it was announced that the national dutch speed-skating race could be held; there was enough natural ice. Every year lots of/all Dutch people still hope to hear the words once again but it hasn't happened in my lifetime. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elfstedentocht). I believe that in come countries it's even illegal to ice-skate on natural ice, however in The Netherlands it's completely common and it's the national sport. In the olypics its common that The Netherlands end up 1st, 2d, and 3th place in some disciplines.

Edit: I do not know if there is a special relationship with this and The Netherlands winning the Dominion World cups again and agian.

The words themselves are from the dialect spoken in the province of the eleven cities, the dialect is totally foreign to the rest of the country.

I'm pretty sure Stef doesn't require a diploma from contestants...

Is this contingent on league play because I think I lost the first match 2-4 and my second 1-5.. but I'm ranked #75 on the leaderboards.. Ugh

Don't ever let any of the Friezen hear you say this, it really pisses them off. Fries is not a dialect of Dutch, it's an entirely different language.

No this has nothing to do with the league (except maybe timing issues).

Then how will matchups and stuff be decided? Signups?

Open signups is the usual way these things have been run, maybe with some large cap like 128 participants.
