INTERNATIONAL EVENTS DIARY

This post is to provide a calendar for forthcoming international events, in an attempt to avoid clashes.  

I will edit and update this post as often as practicable, and use the following categories.
Confirmed Events
Probable but Unconfirmed events
Proposed events
ITSF Master Series (World Ranking) events
ITSF World Series (World Ranking) events
* - New Additions.

Please don't reply to this post, to keep it from getting cluttered, instead please use a new thread for any discussions, and e-mail any tournament details for inclusion here to boris@britfoos.com or use personal message

The idea is to highlight European tournaments with prize funds over 2000 Euros, plus all UK & Irish Events, and overseas events with prize funds over $40,000.

No responsibility is accepted for any inaccuracies, and bear in mind that any proposed or unconfirmed events may change date, or not happen at all.  Players seeking to attend overseas events should confirm that it will proceed via the relevant governing body or promoter before finalising travel arrangements.

I thought I'd better weed out those events which have gone by, and provide links to the results (where known).  

I'll also add a new reply when the diary is updated, because the editing does not come up as an unread post.
