We are pleased to announced October was a fantastic month for WASPA with 33 events held in many different countries. We had 31 regional events and 2 tournaments with the old rules (one was "off-records" due to the fact every player played in three different categories over the same day).

Among the good surprises of the month, we can notice:
- Japan made a come-back in the WASPA circuit with the presence of a player from Nepal who... won the tournament (!);
- Canada is back after a long hyatus and we are very happy to welcome back the club of Montreal;
- It was very exciting to see the first WASPA tournament in the North of Portugal as players from Orfeao Foz do Douro organized their first tournament;
- the new club of Kebun Baru SC in Singapore hosted their first tournament this month;
- WASPA was present again in Crete with a tournament held in Heraklion (Greece);
- In Greece the Pireaus Lions hosted their first WASPA event. Welcome to them;
- We were glad to see action in Prague, Czech Republic;

- Australia was very active with tournaments in Parramatta, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Melbourne;
- Italy had no tournament in September but we were glad to see events in Milano, Firenze and Catanzaro in October;

47 players played for the first time in the WASPA circuit and we now have more than 1600 ranked players from 45 different nations.
