Report

General

There will be three tournaments: a promising tournament for new and promising players (rating < 1000); a beginners tournaments (rating >1000 to ~1250) and one for advanced players (>1250). This will be held on Sunday June 30th nearby Oudenaarde. More information can be found in the sections below. Questions and remarks can be sent to the organisation.

We will be welcoming many promising and rather unexperienced players. It is the perfect tournament to play for less experienced players.

This tournament is not part of the Belgian Grand Prix 2024 nor the Junior Grand Prix 2024.

We're hoping to welcome many players!
