Tilburg, August 2008. Dear fencers,

It is my pleasure to invite you to the Koning Willem II Epee fencing tournament, organised for the 21st time by fencing club Rapier of Tilburg, The Netherlands on Sunday 21 September 2008.

This international tournament, played with the sword as weapon, is fought for the Koning Willem II Challenge Trophy. The tournament is open to ladies and gentlemen of 15 years and over.

The system in which the competition will be played will be similar to that of last year, so that everybody can have equal chances. After the first qualifying round, A and B groups will be formed. The A group will fight in a system of elimination without a repeat. The B group is mixed (both ladies en gentlemen) and will fight a second round to establish a ranking, which will then be concluded with an elimination.

Entry before 16 September, by mail or e-mail to:

Wedstrijdsecretariaat Koning Willem II toernooi, Ambrosiusstraat 9, 5042 EZ Tilburg The Netherlands e-mail: [email protected]

More information and a travelling plan can be found in the supplements.

I wish you a great and challenging tournament!
