<p class=MsoNormal>Dear RoboCup SSL members,<br>
<br>
The Organizing Committee would like to announce the publication of the
Qualification procedures and competition dates for Istanbul 2011. Below is a
summary of the important deadlines, and the complete procedure can be found on
the league web site, at <a href="http://small-size.informatik.uni-bremen.de/"
target="_blank">http://small-size.informatik.uni-bremen.de/</a> . The OC
encourages all members to read the procedures thoroughly and strictly comply with
the requirements and date limits. Note that all dates are final and similar for
all leagues.<br>
<br>
--------- Important Dates ----------<br>
* Team Pre-Registration Deadline: January 31, 2011<br>
* Team Qualification Deadline: February 28, 2011<br>
* Team Qualification Results Announcement (by the OC): March 18, 2011<br>
* Team Financial Support Confirmation Deadline: April 20, 2011<br>
* Early Registration: March 18 – May 13, 2011<br>
* Regular Registration: May 14 – June 17, 2011 (No team registration
accepted after June 17th)<br>
* Late registration: June 18, 2011<br>
* Team Setup: July 05 - 06, 2011<br>
* Competitions: July 07 - 10, 2011<br>
* Symposium: July 11, 2011<br>
------------------------------------<br>
<br>
The procedure is mostly the same as last year, with two notable exceptions:<br>
* Videos of competitions dating before 2009 will not be accepted;<br>
* The ETDP, which is required only for the top 8 teams from 2010, has a new
format. The committees decided that teams should focus its ETDP contents on the
aspects of their systems which most contribute to the team's good performance
and/or novel contributions. More details are also on the qualification
procedure at the web site.<br>
<br>
