There is understandably a lot of confusion surrounding this, for those not directly involved unless, as in my case, they've decided to take an interest in the subject or at least read up on it. There are THREE separate competitions in Buenos Aires that are Alberto has referred to in his posting: 1. The "Metropolitano," which happened mid-May 2011, which is the local "Buenos Aires" competition for residents of the city, which this year was further limited to Argentine citizens (my "Part 1" posting from yesterday covered the qualifying rules to ONLY this competition). 2. The "Milongueros del Mundo en Buenos Aires," which just ended last weekend (Aug 7, with winners from Colombia), which was hastily put together in the last 2 months as a result of the lawsuit surrounding the enrollment restrictions of the Metropolitano. It was designed to be a parallel competition to the Metropolitano to include those excluded there (which, incidentally, it did NOT achieve). "Part 3" of my posting will cover this one -- it did not even exist nor was it conceived when the Metropolitano was being held. And notwithstanding the word "Mundo" (world) in its title, it has nothing to do with the Mundial (World Championships) which will be held at the end of August, other than providing a short-cut to the semi-finals of the Mundial for the winners of either (1) or (2). 3. The "Mundial de Tango," the finals of which will be held Aug 29 and 30 as the climax to the Tango Festival, with qualifying rounds and semi-finals in the days preceding. This is the only one that required prior registration and yes, the deadline of Aug 1 has long passed (unless you can demonstrate force majeure, or hey, just file a lawsuit).
