General

The traditional Easter tournament Othello Open will be held on Easter Monday April 6th 2026 nearby Oudenaarde. More information can be found in the sections below. Questions and remarks can be sent to the organisation.

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 2026 but has a special status: to benefit participation above competition, every player will receive two points. Juniors will receive point as well for the Junior Grand Prix 2026 (5-3-2-1-1)

We're hoping to welcome many players!

In 2024 it went like this:
