Dear Members of the European WOF Confederation! Most of you know me or have heard of me. I've played tournaments since 2000 and except for 2020/2021 when I only played one tournament each, I usually played at least two tournaments a year, including every WOC. I played in many European tournaments and will likely play at least 7 tournaments this year (EOC, WOC, German Championship, Swiss Championship, Swiss Open, Swiss EGP, Cambridge EGP) hosting at least the Swiss EGP. I hosted many tournaments in Germany including several EGPs. |
