I, personally, have a tape of some of the World Games at Belahusten (sp?) Park in Glasgow from 1991, although it is a home video and not exactly the quality you are looking for:) The band I used to play in (Midlothian Scottish, if you're into the stuff) played in the competition. I don't recall seeing anyone filming the games at all and have never heard of any video footage available. I do frequent many of these games as a competitor and have never seen anyone filming them for commercial purposes. Sorry, bout that... But on the bright side, there are many competitions coming up, if you can make it to the Onterio (I think area) there are at least 5-10 games held there over the spring and summer months. If you are interested I can get a schedule for you...just let me know...:) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - Lady Wensday at Camelot = =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - Ash nazg durbataluk, ash nazg gimbatul = = Ash nazg thrakatuluk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
