The 2012 E.S.L. Finals
As winners of the 2011 ESL Finals, The Netherlands has the opportunty to host the 2012 ESL Finals. However, the Dutch have decided to open up the organisation to other countries as well and are organising an open bid.
Part 1: The bids
The bidding process started already in September of 2011 right after the ESL Finals. An open email was sent to a wide range of addressees with the request to put in a bid for organising the 2012 ESL Finals, or, to forward the invitation to skydive centers that might be interested in organising. The closing date for providing a bit is already past and we have had a positive response from 6 different countries.
An overview of the bids in PDF format can be found here.
With these bids the first part of the process is completed.

Now the second part is to start and this is where you as (former) ESL participants can play a role and cast your vote on the bid where you would like the 2012 ESL Finals to take place. Below you can find a link to an online spreadsheet where you can register your vote.
