Medical situations often arise unexpectedly.  I was a US Team Leader for WRTC 
2006 held in Florianopolis, Brazil and I was forced to withdraw just one month  
before WRTC as a result of severe complications of surgery, which made it 
impossible for me to operate much less travel.

As a group, as contesters continue to age, it is more and more likely that we 
will see an increase in medically related reasons for withdrawals.

Hi all:

One thing is, I imagine it is quite rare for someone to drop out after
qualifying.  People work for years and invest considerable time, money,
and various other resources in order to qualify.  The most likely scenario
is a very last minute thing.  Someone gets sick, or has a family emergency
Or some situation in their home country becomes dangerous.  In this case,
the replacement process in the WRTC rules, (basically a ad hoc, "ok, who
can do this" process) is the only feasible option.  The partner is already
there, it wouldn't be right to sideline him/her etc.  (Full disclosure, I'm
already
Planning on being in Wittenberg, and I did put in for the position.)  A
change a month ahead of time isn't exactly the same, but I'm not sure it is
that
much different.  It would be tough to get someone who wasn't already
planning on being there.

Regarding DL1CW, I know the request states that he *must* be the partner.
Even if that wasn't included though, I can't imagine anyone not 
giving him the spot, it's simply the right thing to do.

Hi To all.


Well Randy is talking about 2 differents issues, one are rules, rules that
under my  personal view are not good in many aspects, but now is not the
question to talk about rules...... but I would like to says something, there
is a clasification, so 1st african TL second TM, and the same for all others
continents....... obviusly, the second guy was working hard trying to be in
the wrtc and he cannot, this is not fair, for that's reason, 1º and 2º must
be the team.


But my question is, the african TL for X reason cannot go to wrtc, the team
must be dissolve inmediately, new TL must has the option to choice his own
TM... maybe he will accept the currently TM, who knows, but, anyway, new TL
must have 2 options, choice a new one or accept the currentlyTM.


Finally, under my personal opinion, team members must be classified, from
Africa,.... in other case, are not a real African team representation.

In other words, they who wrote the rules left themselves a loophole to
appoint their own buddies.  In short, you're shafted.

And then they wonder why I have no interest in this alleged competition.  I
know a stacked deck when I see one...

Sorry OM, you deserved better.

The Team Leader and Team Mate (TM) selection process is described at
http://wrtc2018.de/index.php/en/competition/selection-criteria-2

Section 8 says "Each Team Leader may select a Teammate (TM) from anywhere in
the world."  That is how 5H3EE could select DL1CW as a teammate.

The WRTC2018 selection policies can be found at
http://wrtc2018.de/index.php/en/competition/selection-policies-2

Section 2 describes the process that will happen if a Team Leader (TL)
withdraws.  When it is this close to the date of WRTC, the option is to make
a request for Wild Card teams that would be able to attend the competition.
The wild card team has to offer the TM position to DL1CW.

It is complicated, but this is not the first time this situation has
occurred for a WRTC.
