thanks horizons, you guys should limit one team from one state or city other wise it will be too many teams and as you know you have to finish up all games in 2-3 days.Nobody wants to play 2 games a day..especially soccer. More than 8 teams will not be good idea. |

Dear Horizon urf Kshitij, I have heard organizer of 2003 ANA sports are allowing non- Nepali player. If this is true this will be bad for ANA sports. Especially for those who wanted to come for sports. You guys should not allow non-Nepali player. Lets have competition among Nepalese. |

Thanks Kps, The main reason I am going to Denver is to be participate in sports. And have some fun gettogether with friends....If they allow non Nepali player in ANA Sports then I am going to change my plan...I can compete with non nepali in the local community why should go all the way to Denver, since convention is not my priority???? |

How many volleyball team has registered so far now, and can anyone tell me where are they from? |

Involvement of non-Nepalese players is nothing new to ANA Conventions and there is no need to cry foul here. Besides, their participation is ONLY possible if TEAMS include them. Its just a rule and doesnt mean it has to be exercised. Teams from NE, CO, DC, VA, MD and NY have shown interest for Volleyball. None has registered so far. |

There are many non-Nepalis who are equally (if not more) interested in Nepali affairs as we are. I don't see anything wrong with letting these wonderful friends of Nepal participate in any event with us...shuva chintak mitra haru lai kina bahiskaar garne? Open arms le welcome garam... Baru, dandi biyo chhaina??? Chha bhane khabar paam...mero biyo tikhaardai garchhu...dandi ta paiyela ni yesso Denver ko jhaadi haru tira... |

-"Involvement of non-Nepalese players is nothing new to ANA Conventions and there is no need to cry foul here." Horizon, what is the basis of this statement? Any prior year experience? -"Besides, their participation is ONLY possible if TEAMS include them. Its just a rule and doesnt mean it has to be exercised." I think most of the people understand that it is JUST a rule and thats what they are voicing their opinion against. When the rule is there to let anybody to come in and play, why would the teams restrict their team members to who they have. They will definitely go out and look for the better players. When you have this rule and when you don't go out and find better players from other communities, the team definitely have a disadvantage. Practicing it (no none Nepali players) is definitely idealistic, however, not practical at all. I think all of us know how idealistic a person can become. I think the fame and name can easily override any idealism. |

Huncha huncha la Poonteji aunus J)))) Utopian Yes, Non-Nepalese players have been playing in the past conventions with the exception of last year. Let me know if this in not true. You are right, opinion varies. Convention of this size will have its share of controversies and disagreements on how thing should be done. All that organizing committee can do is try be fair and to do what seems right. Gundruk You are right. It seems that their registration forms have arrived. |

Mr. Horizon, >>Non-Nepalese players have been playing in the past conventions with the exception of last year. I have been participating ANA Sports event past few years I have never seen any NON Nepali playing& There was no any ANA Sports that they have said or allowed non Nepali player in the past. By the way, where and which ANA Sports did you see NON Nepali playing?? |

Tejji, It has happened too many times in the past and therefore, last years committee decided to only include players from Nepalese origin. Anyway, this argument doesnt serve any purpose and lets look forward to how things can work better. Since most teams seem to be against the idea of including non-Nepalese players, Denver Sports Committee is re-evaluating the decision to perhaps limiting the number of these players. Hopefully, this will make everyone happy and not affect the outcome of the tournament due to the involvement of these players. We will respect the majoritys opinion and conduct the tournaments. |

Horizon, why do you guys have problem if all the teams against the idea of including non nepalese players. Having just 1 good outside player can change the outcome of the game. What you were saying is not true. I think you guys assuming that, we are coming there to play game and have fun but i don't think so...winning is also the key. |

Mr. Horizon, Thanks for considering majority's voice. However, I am still not convinced with you statement following. >>It has happened too many times in the past and therefore, last years committee decided to only include players from Nepalese origin. You are keep saying it happens many times? Where and which ANA Sports event it was happened? I have been participating past few years. NO any ANA Sports sub-committee had said or had rule that allow NON Nepali player. Have you ever as a participant had experience it?? If yes where and when?? Anyway, I will look forward to see you in Denver. I wish all Denver Sports Committee for successful ANA 2003 Sports event. |

on 11-Jun-03 07:37 PM
Tejji, I wasn't talking from my personal experience but from the information we got from ANA and last year's Sports Committee KPSji - We want to consider majority's voice because the tournment is about them and not us. You can assume all you want but the consideration is based on the majority. |

on 12-Jun-03 07:36 AM
Mr. Horizon, So you just heard and made conclusion without knowing first hand experience?? Yeah, there is question last year was most organized ANA Sports event down in Washington, DC ever so far I have participate. Hope and wish all Denver Sports Committee keep same trend going. By the way, could you guys let us know through this tread about decision on Non Nepali Player before deadline (June 15th) because we will decide base on Non Nepali Player participation . |

Although I don't play any sports, I do think that inclusion of non-nepali players in the team would be unfair for Nepali participants who come to compete with other Nepali Players. Even limiting the number of non nepali players would not make any difference since one player with above average height can change the outcome of the game. Needless to say, most Nepalese have a small height and in games like basketball, if there's a non nepali player with height advantage, it would be very unfair for other teams who come with only nepali players hoping to compete with other nepali players. I hope the organizers keep this in mind and not allow participation of non nepalis in the sport events. However, non nepalis should be more than welcome in any other events. |

I am totally agree with the voice of against of involvement of non-nepali in ana convention sport. Horison jee, you guys better be realistic and try to manage the sport team to preserve our nepali culture and tredition. We are not coming to denver to play sport with any mexican and amrican khaire. We just want to play with nepali daju bhai adidi bahini and enjoy the most. DO not try to change ANA sport trend easilly just because you handful od guys can manupulate this year. So, you guys better not let non-nepali players involve in any sport if you want to drag all the nepali sport fan at the convention. Come on man why the hell you guys need to let play non- nepali in Nepali convention. No reason at all. |

Hello ANA sport organizer, please speak-up. You guys better not try to change a trend of ANA. We don't want to see any non-nepali playing sport with us in our convention. If you guys let play non-nepali than you guys should be responsible for consiquencies. |

HELLO Horison jee, Are you also one of the ANA sport organizer? If so try to understand other's voice and be realistic. |

Due to the overwhelming majority of partcipating teams and their belief that non nepalese players shouldn't participate in ANA sports, Denve Committee has reversed the decision. We are not very happy about the situation but will respect the voice of 99 % participating teams. |

>>We are not very happy about the situation but will respect the voice of 99 % participating teams. Horizon ji! This is truely a convention designed to bring Nepali community together. Any activity in this convention should represent the consent of majority people. If the voice of 99% is against the involvement of foreign players, Denver committe does not have to be unhappy in doing such decision. " Convention pani karbal lay garda garnu paryo, we are not happy about it" bhanney ho?? |

Master_of_One_ Liners ji, What do you mean "majority favors somthing, doesn't make right" Do you know the meaning of majority? majority is majority. Since we all have been nepali to attend nepali convention, convention menagement should listen our voice. Singaney ji, I am totally agree with you and we need to exercise our rights if we need to.Come on guys let us have fun with all the nepali and don't try to make mess-up ana convention. |

Thanks for listening majoritys voice& >>We are not very happy about the situation but will respect the voice of 99 % participating >>teams. I dont think you guys (Horizon and company) have much prior sports organizing or participating experience. Ofcourse, there is reason why should not allow No Non Nepali participant. We learn through experience. I am sure you guys will have answer in up coming ANA Sports event why the majority voicing for NO Non Nepali player& There is difference NON-Nepali participation in Sports and other event. I dont have any problem Non Nepali in other events (as long as majority have no problem....)))). In-fact, I will more than welcome& Master_Of_One_Liners.....Hami Gagra ko kura gari rahe ko Not Agra...:) Till then see you all in Denver&& |
