Press / photographers during competitions

by Steffen Schwarz, Chairman SCAE Championship-Committee

We must limit the number of accompanying press/photographers on two persons. They will however not be allowed on stage, as the past proved to be too many people covering all the sight to the stage. Only the official SCAE photographer and the SCAE Camera-crew will be on stage regularly. In addition we will allow some tv-crews for short time to be on stage with some participants, i.e. the German TV with the German champion etc. However, we will have a first row seating »press« places for those people (up to two persons per participant), that will be seated in the first row and therefore have a best possibility for nice pictures.

Send an email to Steffen Schwarz with the names of journalists and photographers to be registered.
