General
The 2nd Waarschoot Othello Open will be held on Saturday June 24th. 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 2017 and the Foreigners Grand Prix 2017.We are intending to play outside. In case of bad weather we will foresee an alternative.
