The highlights of the tournament?
The match between Brahim Djoubri and Marek Faus on Friday (322-318), the match between Magali Declunder and Faus on Saturday (averages 53,00 and 157,00 for the Czech), between Djoubri and Niessen on Saturday (232-228) and of course the 4 victories in a row by our winner Willy Gérimont.
We thank the technical team (Lorenzo, Morgan and the two Xaviers) for their excellent work, the four referees Patrick Latapie, Hervé Lacombe, Guillaume Clusel and Eric Camilleri and the volunteers in the organization, especially Patrick Girard, Eric Dorizon, Bernard Baudoin and Delphine Roumagère!
The 330 points mark was not reached this time, but will undoubtedly be reached soon if this event format will be continued. Thanks to our CEB team for this new project and thanks to Kozoom for making it happen.
