Tromsø BTK held The Polar Night Cup in Tromsø 19th and 20th of November. Approx. 60 players from eight clubs from Norway, Sweeden and Russia took part in the tournament. Altogether 403 were played, and by far the best players came from Rodina TTC in Arkhangelsk. They took the victory in all the classes, and many of them held a very high level, and dominated in most of the matches they played against their opponents from northern Norway and northern Sweeden. Take a look at TTTC's results page to see the results in the various classes.
The Polar Night Cup was played for the fourth consecutive year, and this year we were pleased to have a visit for the first time from Russia. Rodina TTC showed to be a great club with both good players and friendly people. Hopefully we can go to Arkhangelsk to play very soon.
