No official dates yet (sometime in 2013), but here are the top things to do in Hangzhou :

Latest qualified pilot among the 24 who will compete in China is Michel Hauser who is the new Swiss 2012 AeroMusicals National Champion.

Is there an official list of the pilots?

The list will be available once the US pilots selection is complete and the Chinese pilot nominated.

Very strange. Six Swiss pilots I have never heard of (none of the top Swiss indoor pilots were present - they were all at the IITOP in Paris/FR that weekend ), an event which isn't even shown in the FAI calendar and the results show, that the competition was not run i.a.w. F6B rules (yet again):

Last time, when we attented a Swiss F6B competition (organised by the same person), the results were discarded:

Very strange indeed.

WORLD ARTISTIC GAMES 2014

The first World Artistic Games, originally set for November of 2012 have now been postponed to a tentative date of March 2014. Further information will be provided when available.

Thats possibly a good thing with other commitments for the pilots with the World champs coming up soon

Jürgen,
does that mean that there were some selection contest in 2012 for WArtG that are scheduled for 2014? I dont want to be rude, but it does not seem to be brilliant idea!

Hi Jan,

AFAIK there were no selection contests. AFAIK the pilots are "hand-picked" by Guy Revel.

Jürgen

Hi Jürgen,
that would make it even better! :-)

Just for your info, I did not participated "selection" contests, so I'm not jealous that I was not "hand-picked". I just think it is funny...

Funny? I think the system is rather ridiculous.
