Hi Lia,
sorry for the late response but there will be no Championship Points for the International Event. Only six players attended, so the tournament was no longer sanctioned and we had to cancel it.
Nice numbers, Ian, just one small correction: it was even easier for Masters in Austria (12:1), as Austria had 2 paid trips per age group this year, one from POP and one from us. ;-)
Attendance report from German Nationals:
56 Juniors
104 Seniors
120 Masters
280 players total
Still 2 rounds to play on Day 1, so we will finish in time for the Champions League finals. ;-)
We are very sorry about the confusion our Prize Roster caused, it was typo as some of you already guessed. Please replace "Bye" with "Invitation".
The prize roster for German Nats is fixed already, btw.
