The previously announced 40 Years of CCI anniversary tournament kicked off on July 1 with 33 participants competing in five preliminary rounds.
Several themed tournaments are planned for this fall, before the SoCU tournament series is set to continue with No. 20 in early 2027. Please send registrations for SoCU 20 to Reinhard Wolfram.
