3rd Annual "STI European Championship"!
Two day match! Level III sanctioned! 15 stages! Kinda' "semi indoor" range (no hindrance). No taping or brass picking! 65 Euro match fee! (about $75 USD) 327 rounds minimum. Lunch, live evening musical entertainment, live evening "professional entertainer", prize table drawn by lot, free champagne after the match, approx. 220 slots available all filled, approx. 150 on the waiting list. Professional IROA officials. Match description and all range commands in English. Stats completed in less than an hour of conclusion. Twelve of the fifteen stage descriptions started "On signal, engage targets as they become visible from within the charge lines."
All stages designed by Herbert Jacob, who was also the MD. All magnificent! (Note: Victor Ferrero, if you're lurking, this man can help design for the WS.)
Top Open: Saul Kirsch (Currently unaffiliated)
Top Standard: Gregory Midgley (of STI's European Team)
Second Super Senior Standard: Dave (who zeroed the weak hand stage) Skinner
Beautiful country. Phenomenal museums. Fantastic wineries. Wonderful people. Take your wives and kids next year, but sign up early. You won't be disappointed with any of it.
