from the re-participation in the event for the finalist of the previous editions – they were still welcome, but already as the observators. As in the Ranger course it was sup- posed to minimize a chance of occurring a person, who has a lot of inside information about the SELEKCJA – cer- tainly, those who have dropped out before finishing the game could still start, but they have known only a part of the tasks. The next rather odd custom has consisted in that the in- structors has not known a scenario for the subsequent days. Kups discusses only the tasks directly prior to their preparation and realization – changeable weather condi- tions, a level of the participants and their condition make it necessary to develop two or even three different sce- narios and variants of the tasks for a given day. This merry-go-round of the activities and taking care even of the sleeping participants burdens the instructors to very high degree. A team consist of 30 persons, but an insufficient amount of sleep is perceptible already after three days and nights. And today? The SELEKCJA is just turning 20 years and in such a form has appeared for the last time. All these years, a start has been free of charge – this precondition has re- quired media, because without them there would not be any sponsors of the event. We have heard that some say that SELEKCJA is a TV show, but it is an erroneous idea. During the event, the cameras work all the time and reg- ister all, what they manage to see. There are no re-takes, preparing the scenes – it is not the TV show with a sce- nario and a shooting script. A great deal depends on a speed of the operators, coincidence, but also on the edi- tor, who must dig out the piles with the material and cut a sensible whole. A TV team always counts approximately 10 persons, who similarly as the instructors suffer from a continuous sleep deficiency. The cameras are not let in everywhere and it is not preying on the human weakness- es, although after all there are presented the real people who want to survive this hell. What will be after SELEKCJA? It is not known. While knowing Kups, who cannot seat still in one place despite a fact that he has a lot of the training activities linked to the Combat 56 hand-to-hand fighting system, we should suppose that he will surprise us with something more powerful. www.fragoutmag.com
