Dear Chairman / Secretary General,

The organizing Committee of the 1st Asian Beach Games (BABGOC) has sent us the Technical Handbooks of the 13 sports which are now available to view online or download in PDF format from their website using the link below. Technical Handbooks available on: http://www.bali2008.com/25.html

You will also find the most updated version of the Bali 2008 competition schedule, on the link below. If there is any change to the competition schedule in the future, you will be informed.

Competition Schedule available on: http://www.bali2008.com/206.html

I thought that I should let this info so that you can do an early preparation for the Games;

IMPORTANT NOTICE NO: 1 We have been warned seriously on doping issues, and I would insist that you test all your bodybuilders two weeks prior to the competition in a WADA recognised Lab. If any country for any reasons does not test an athlete, they will be barred from participating in this event. OCA gave us strict warning after all the doping scandals in Doha Asian Games in 2006. ABBF will expel any federation if they do not follow the strict doping rules.

IMPORTANT NOTICE NO.2 : Only affiliated federations to the IFBB and ABBF will be eligible to participate. Federations not recognised or suspended by the IFBB and ABBF will be disallowed to participate.
