Report
The Easter tournament is a special event and is generally welcoming many promising and rather unexperienced players. It is the perfect tournament to play for less experienced players.
This tournament is part of the Belgian Grand Prix 2016 and the Foreigners Grand Prix 2016, but has a special status: to benefit participation above competition, every player will receive two points.
We're hoping to welcome many players!
