They held a selection at the Platting Rodeo, the highest ranked could go to Spain. Ortwin Dellevoet, team captain in the New Zealand world's 1999, came in 3rd, but he decided not to go and turn in his place. He also suggested that ies, Fokiwa.com webmaster, should be the new captain.
But he can't be at world's so he passes the captainship on to Kees Van Kuipers.
