The reason for the earlier closing date than normal is because the dates of the 2009 Coupe Mondiale are 25-29 August so as to be during the holiday period for most European countries. This allows people travelling to New Zealand to have more time here for a holiday than if the event was held during October, the more usual month for the Coupe Mondiale. The Draft Schedule for the Coupe Mondiale has been updated on the website. Most of the performances are now listed there. There is an extensive list of press releases for the media online on the press pages of the website. |
