Australian players in the world rankings

Robert Green is 48th in the WASPA ranking of August.

A venue is found for the tournament in September

Brett Davis is coming back with good news as he has found a venue for the tournament. It is at the Mega Games Trader at 388 High Street Penrith. They are selling the game there so were more than happy for us to have the tournament to show people what the game is like. Our start time is 4.00pm as well, the only thing Brett would need some help with is equipment, he has one board and soon to be two but he doesn't think his metal goals will be here on time for the day.
The tournament will count for the WASPA circuit (see link at http://waspa-circuit.blogspot.com).
The Mega games website is http://www.megagames.com.au/
The tournament could be the first step to create a new club in the area.

Finally a tournament in the agenda

Brett Davis (wolfden@bigpond.net.au) has announced he will be hosting a tournament on September 15. Some details need to be arranged but at least there is a date. Peter Thomas, the winner of the last tournament held in Australia more than two years ago, has already showed interest to take part.

Well done Australia!
