the 23rd again well born…
The Dijon City Open, organized by the Duke, began on Saturday, it will end on Sunday December 18… The tournament, on December 23e within the framework of the federal circuit as far as the men’s table is concerned (the feminine one is more recent), is aging well, its aura is not weakening. 541 licensees are in the ranks but on four courts, the reasonable gauge for sporting fairness is slightly above 420 participants.
Many 2e series remain on the floor, Côte-d’Oriens are concerned. The French championship of Pro A and B which is in progress should provide some well classified at the time of the final table. For the moment, four numbered players and six -15, n°91 and six -4/6 are among the registered players.
This weekend, at the end of 4e series, the first rounds were logically led above all by licensed clubs from the conurbation but also far beyond (Fleurey, Is, Mirebeau, Nuits, etc.). The level of the matches was very random during these first rounds, but you really can’t tax the players for playing without passion.
