The main site is still down because the hosting has gone out of business without any notice. This mirror site has been accessed by 48 countries so I think the information was well relayed, if you have your own web site or forum do not hesitate to mention the mirror. In the meantime, I have ordered another option from our domain registrar called "web forwarding". It means that each time you will go to http://www.ipttc.org you will be automatically redirected to this mirror site. This option takes 24 to 48 hours to be effective world wide depending on your Internet service provider. I am working on a long term hosting solution either as a sub domain of ittf.com or on our own. If you need to contact me until the problem is solved, use gael.marziou@free.fr .
9 January 2008 Calendar updated with Liverpool Open documents.
The main site is still down because the hosting has gone out of business without any notice.
