  1. Hi! I am Spanish and I participated the last two years in my county championship in Spain. I need more information to participate in this.
    The first , is posible to participate with my Nationality?

    The second, anyway I want to know the rules in this championship to compare with the spanish championship.

    The third, if all of this is okay, I need an sponsor like in spain or is not important?

    Thankyou so much for your atention!

    Regards

    1. Hi Jesus,
      Nationality isn’t important but you would need to have a valid Irish passport or be working as a resident for 2 years.
      We use the same rules as WCE which can be found on their website here: https://www.worldcoffeeevents.org/rules/
      There is also no need for a sponsor as we get the sponsorship ourselves!

  2. Hi guys – could you confirm a couple of things:
    Is it a 2 group Linea?
    Is it 20g VST baskets as per competition standard? (VST baskets come in 20 or 22g size – LM’s 21g baskets are equivalent to VST 22g)
