Dear friends, you will find in the attached files the updated WASPA standings as per February 2023. We added 41 regional tournaments, 6 tournaments with the old rules and 3 promotional events for a total of 50 tournaments.
We are glad to see the first tournaments this season played in France and Japan.
 |
| Amazing tournament in Donegal (Ireland) |
It was great to see many events in Australia, including two tournaments played under WASPA banner during the recent FISTF Melbourne tournament. It was great to have New Zeland's Richard Edeson taking part in these events.
 |
| Promotional event for young players in Stembert (Belgium) |
England was once again the most active nation with 19 tournaments and some clubs really do an amazing job of promotion. It's really a source of inspiration and many nations can learn from what's done in England.
 |
| Youth in action in Genova (Italy) |
Numbers are growing in the Netherlands, too. Their recent tournament in Gouda had even visitors from Belgium and Singapore. Well done!
 |
| Historic tournament in Bulh, Alsace (France). It was also the 3000th WASPA regional tournament |
The Irish circuit stopped in Donegal and 15 players attended a great event.
Other nations such as Singapore, Wales, Belgium, Italy, Northern Ireland and South Africa also had tournaments played under WASPA banner.
 |
| Big turnout for Erza Aripin's visit in Gouda (the Netherlands) |
We had a total of 420 individual entries in February, which is a new record for the season.
Don't hesitate to run tournaments under the WASPA banner. It's a great way to promote your club, to attract new players and to create local or regional development and we all agree this is what the game needs nowadays.
 |
| Northern Falcons tournament in Sydney (Australia) |
All your ideas to make the circuit more attractive are more than welcome. Don't hesitate to send your feedback. We also hope to see more and more clubs running events under the WASPA banner in the future.
