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;
