The World Championship Frisian Draughts in Leeuwarden, from 3rd through 10th of August, is clearly taking shape.

The audience can connect to the tournament server by smartphone or tablet, anywhere in the world. With 360-degree streaming, one can virtually walk through the tournament hall, from one board to another so to speak, to see what is happening!
It is also confirmed that the tournament will be opened by Fryslân's Provincial Executive Council member Michiel Schrier (responsible for sports affairs) on Friday, August 3rd at 9 o'clock. The world champion prize will be awarded on Friday 10th of August by deputy Mayor Hilde Tjeerdema of the municipality of Leeuwarden.
The following open tournaments will take place: Czech Draughts on Wednesday August 8th, Italian Draughts Thursday August 9th , and FRYSK! (i.e. Frisian Draughts with only five men per player) on Friday August 10th.
