Games
The games are organized in two sports halls. Kauppis will be the main arena, but on Saturday there will be some games also on Roller-center which is located 5 minutes walk from Kauppis. Location of both halls is shown for exampel here. The buses will stop at Roller center in the morning and continue to Kauppis after that. When you have to change the venue during the day you have to walk the 5 minute distance. Shoes used in both Venues should be indoors sports shoes (so no grass).

Meals
RAX-, Party- and breakfast tickets will be distributed to each team's contact person on Saturday. Open division teams will receive their tickets at the Kauppis and women division teams at Roller-center. You can collect your tickets from buffet.
