Dear Freestyle community,
With Covid-19 still being a part of our global reality, your feedback is very important for our preparation for the coming event.

The Israeli Freestyle scene has grown a lot in the past years and we would love to have as many international jammers as possible visiting us. Hosting the world championship in Israel has been a long-time dream of many of us, even though producing it under the current circumstances has become very challenging and full of uncertainties. Hosting Worlds would mean a lot to our community and will definitely push our jammers even further into professional freestyle.
Our high motivation alone will not be sufficient to execute the project, which is made for and by the Freestyle Players Association. In other words:

The survey will help us understand the community mindset, and subsequently to decide the best strategy for the event.
Although fun is very important, the health and safety of everyone is our top priority!
As seen in the last couple of years, every country has different rules, and these tend to change often in short notice. This is obviously out of our control and we canโt guarantee anything regarding that.
In order to help you get a better view of Israeli government regulations we gathered a few official links with the latest information regarding requirements and obligations for foreigners visiting Israel. ๐๐ก๐๐๐จ๐ ๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ค๐จ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ง๐ค๐ช๐๐๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐๐๐ค๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ข๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ฎ ๐๐๐๐๐จ๐๐ค๐ฃ.
Entry of Non-Israeli Citizens by Air -

https://corona.health.gov.il/en/abroad/isolation/As of the end of January 2022, all Non-Israeli Citizens entering the country have to receive permission from the Population and Immigration Authority by filing a request to the Exceptions Committee. ๐๐ค๐ง๐๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ฉ๐๐ก๐๐ฉ๐๐จ ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฃ ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ฃ๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐๐ก ๐จ๐ฅ๐ค๐ง๐ฉ๐จ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐จ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ๐๐๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ง๐ค๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐ญ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐พ๐ผ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐๐ก, with the condition of an official invitation letter from the Culture and Sport Ministry. If needed for FPAWโ22, all competitors will be provided with such a letter. Nevertheless, keep in mind that having an invitation letter wonโt change other obligations and restrictions applied, such as the requirement for Covid testing or quarantine.
*According to this surveyโs responses we will check the possibilities for having invitees who donโt plan on competing.
As for accommodation, we imagine many players could be interested in getting good deals while staying close to other jammers. It would be cool to have an exclusive โJamily HQโ hostel. Moreover, under the current circumstances, for health and security reasons, itโs possible that as organizers, we will be required to track our inviteesโ location during their whole stay. Having some sort of a joint accommodation solution will make it a lot simpler for all of us.
As mentioned above, we really want FPAWโ22 to happen in Israel and wish everything will go well. However, we are very aware of the possibility that it may not be allowed. In accordance with FPA, if the project ever gets to that point, we might consider keeping our production efforts going, and run an alternative event that is NOT FPAW, and will be of smaller scale. In case this will be the communityโs preference, all requirements for entry to Israel will remain, and we will inform you regarding the invitation letter from the ministry. Such a change will be communicated ahead, of course.
To conclude, we see 3 possible scenarios:
Plan A - Everything goes on as planned - FPAWโ22 happens in Tel Aviv.
Plan B - Smaller event (not enough registered, global uncertainty).
Worst case scenario - No event (extreme restrictions, borders closed).

In spite of this force majeure affecting the world, we, the eventโs organizers, wish to express our excitement and passion to make this dream a reality, even if it has to be adapted to fit the current situation.
We wish you all the best health and the best jams, and we hope to see you in Israel very soon.
Letโs make history together.
