Alex, Firstly, thanks for doing this bit of research. It seems to indicate that if EUCC took place in either the last week of July or the first week of August, then all European nations would be on holiday. What I was suggesting was that EFDF use this information when considering bids for future events.
Secondly, I was not suggesting everyone's careers, just the teachers, for the reasons stated earlier. Nor was I suggesting Worlds should be moved, hence my email to the President of EFDF, not WFDF!
