Champion kissali (HUN) Zsófia Salát |
Congratulations to Zsófia Salát (HUN) for winning the 5th World Junior Tantrix Championship. A well deserved winner after 15 wins out of 15 games in the grouphase, and not any bigger problems in the KO until the SF, where a tie-break was needed.
Runner-up Kapu tibor (HUN) played in the harder part of the KO draw, and had to beat both no. 1 seed Niklas Andersson (SWE) and no. 2 seed Hidde Ozinga (NED) (who won the WJTC in 2005).
Hidde still managed to get in 3rd place by beating no. 3 seed Ádám Petrecz (HUN) in the 3rd place playoff.
The final was the closest one so far in WJTC, one of many records beaten in this competition.
Many thanks to all players, and to Onno van Elsacker and Petra Wark for being AC´s. I hope you had a great time during WJTC and hope most of you will enter again next year.
