General

The Waarschoot Othello Open will be held on Saturday June 25th. More information can be found in the sections below. Questions and remarks can be sent to the organisation. This tournament is part of the Belgian Grand Prix 2016 and the Foreigners Grand Prix 2016.

We are intending to play outside. In case of bad weather we will foresee an alternative. The tournament is organised at Tom Schotte's place, but everyone is very welcome to join. The idea is to have a cousy tournament and we will end with a BBQ.

We're hoping to welcome many players!

Currently 12 players have officially subscribed.
