It is a great pleasure that 35 teams have definitively registered for the World Team Championship 50+ & 65+ – 100 days before the start of the tournament.
The event will be taking place from the 7th until the 15th of July 2018 in the beautiful city of Radebeul near Dresden and over 100 teams from all over the world are to be expected.
Two teams from Singapore hold the record for the registration encompassing the longest distance (approx. 10.120 km), “closely followed” by the Canadian team (approx. 6.750 km). Alongside the Singaporean and Canadian players teams from Austria, Belgium and Germany have confirmed their participation in the championship.
