Australia - There are discussion with Ron Shipp (ronshippau@yahoo.com.au) to organize a tournament in january during Cancon in January 2012. Cancon is Australia's biggest games convention. Ron is trying to organize the Australian championship as well but this still needs to be discussed. There are also plans to host a tournament in Sydney later this year.

Sweden - There are now 8 confirmed entries for the tournament. Francesco La Torre from Italy is also likely to take part. There are plans to prepare the future of the game in Sweden as hopefully this tournament will be the first of many more to come.
