Sounds very impressive.
I did not see a Web cam on their site. Wonder if that will be added for WC?

This W/C is the most impressive contest I've ever seen. The Turkish
club spared no expense to make their mark: "tents" that are more like
semi-permanent housing, security so good that you can leave your
models assembled on the field overnight, WiFi on the field, WiFi
scoring . Your official timer enters the result on a PDA and by the
time you turn your transmitter back in, you score is posted on all the
big screen TV's on the field for all to see (which could be a source
of pride or shame :), as well as the current leader board. This is a
world class performance by the Turkish organizers with a world class
budget of over a quarter million dollars. They clearly had lots of
support. The US Team is prepared to deliver its own world class
performance largely because of your support. Jim Monaco continues his
own world class performance as team manager. Things are going smoothly
and close to budget, but fund raising will continue to be a full time,
year-around effort. We appreciate your support (and we still need to
get our models home after the contest, and that's not cheap :) Check
out the above websites for the latest news. The W/C starts Monday with
opening ceremony Sunday evening. Gotta go, I'm off to "work" (yes, it
really is a lot of work-14 hr days)
Thanks
Ben Clerx
