By words of Piotr Kosmala, member of Speleo Salomon team, his team was disqualified unfairly on the Carpathian Adventure (CA) in Romania. Lets read his comments. On the other side we are still waiting to get an answer from organizers of CA.
- Speleo Salomon were disqualified for not going along the ridge between CP6 and CP7
- this obligatory route was not mentioned during the race briefing held in English before the event (there were at least 4 international teams which have not heard about the obligatory route – I have written statement from these teams)
- Speleo Salomon was leading the race; nobody informed Speleo Salomon at CP6 about the obligatory route while it took place in case of other teams
- CA organizers decided to fully disqualify Speleo Salomon, without any chance to continue the race
- Speleo Salomon disagree with the decision and requested to:
- remove CA from the EASeries
- be reimbursed by CA in amount of 1000eur to compensate entry fee (360eur) and travel expenses
- Speleo Salomon, despite having a chance on high ranking in the EASeries (with 2nd place at TNFAT in Poland ) and despite initial plans, decided not to participate in the German Quest 2007

As a policy of Euroadventure is not to interfear withthe organization of races included in EA cup, in this case EA can't do much about it.
