To give you more information:
The venue is directly on the historical Marksburg, so we have a wonderful environment.
The last 2 years we played with 24 players on the tournament, for this year we extended the number of possible players to 40.
We have international players from UK, Belgium, France, Spain and Switzerland in the last years and we hope to make it even more international ths year.

Since we announced the tournament, we have already 12 booked players, so 28 places are left.

But I can't believe this is your first time driving on the continent Dave
I thought you were a driver for the red cross during the war.
Or did they not have the red cross in 1914

[Vespasian28]

I think you have the wrong war Phil. The red cross was set up after Solferino in 1859 following the horrific casualties caused by erratically driven horse drawn ambulances. That's the war you are after.

[davidandlynda]

I usually have someone to drive for me,(coach drivers ,taxis )

That's what they tell him at the home!!!

[titanu]

The red cross was set up after Solferino in 1859 following the horrific casualties caused by erratically driven horse drawn ambulances.

Not sure about the horrific casualties being caused by horse drawn ambulances, the shooting might have also be a factor. Talking of horrific casualties sound like one of Phil or Steve Charlton's drinking sessions!!

Still it would not happen now as they have all been made in to burgers.

[Martin0112]

The tournament is over!
It was fantastic, having 38 players from 6 countries there (this was more international than The Worlds this year, and even more players.
We had a fantastic area, and lots of real funny and interesting games.
My special thanks to the 15 international players (5 from UK, 4 from Belgium, 3 from France, 2 from Austria and 1 from the Netherlands) for coming over to Germany.

I'm proud to say (from a German perspective), that we have the 2 best players coming from germany, followed by lots of the international players close behind.
Congratulations to the first 3 players, Ferdi Akaltin, Michael Schmidt and Ian Stewart.

I hope, all of you had as mich fun as I had and we will see you hopefully next year again!

[davidandlynda]

Now that Lynda and I are back and settled into work again,we would like to say a big thanks to everyone for a very enjoyable weekend,especially Martin and our opponents and Ian for showing us around Monday.Even the 1st time driving went smoothly
If the Worlds are any where as good then we highly recomend everyone goes.
David and Lynda

[philqw78]

we have the 2 best players

I think you mean 2 best placed players

[Martin0112]

Yes, Phil, you are absolutelly right.

My english is sometimes not as good as it should...

My english is sometimes not as good as it should...

True but it is still better than Phil or Dave's
