The tournament itself will take place at University College Northampton on Friday, September 10, 2004, and will see mixed-gender six-aside teams competing in a group stage followed by a knock-out competition.
Last year, the inaugural competition was contested by 13 teams including representatives from local authorities, environmental consultants, the community and private sectors. The Cup was won by consultants ERM after a closely-contested final against the Environment Agency (see letsrecycle.com story).
This year, tournament organisers letsrecycle.com and University College Northampton hope to invite an expanded number of teams, and are introducing new measures including a sin bin system for yellow card offences.
 The 'Good Will' spirit of the first Waste World Cup tournament will continue. |
Dr Margaret Bates from UCN said: “This year's event should see a wider range of teams competing for the coveted title of Waste World Champions than last year. But the 'Good Will' spirit of the first Waste World Cup tournament will continue, to provide an enjoyable competition for all the teams that take part.”
The full day event will include a barbecue, while the venue also includes a bar. Low-cost overnight accommodation will be available for teams in the nearby university halls. Teams that are selected for entry will be asked to provide 30 (per team) towards costs.
