WASPA Round-Up: International Action Across the World

The latest round of WASPA tournaments saw players competing under both modern FISTF rules and traditional old rules, with events staged across Europe and South Africa.

Terry Arnold winner in Worthing
In Italy, Marco Perotti claimed the Regional Tournament title in Rome, while England hosted no fewer than three FISTF events. Terry Arnold topped a 26-player field in Worthing on June 28, before Brandon Lavender won a second Worthing event the following day. Meanwhile, Richard Roper emerged victorious in Stourbridge.

Players in Attard

Malta's tournament in Attard was won by Robert Farrugia, ahead of Stanley Farrugia, while Ektoras Bartzis triumphed in Achaioi, Greece. In Ireland, David Elton took first place in Tralee, and Jason Kennedy was the winner in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The traditional game was represented by the Solent tournament in England, where Jason Christopher finished first ahead of Steve Smith and Nigel Morgan.
