The Germans still rule...

Two german participants... and two Germans on spots 1 and 2. Jürgen Simon and Michael Reitz were clearly stronger than the rest of the pack. Germans dominating a DVONN tournament, we have heard that before. There are more very strong DVONN-players of other nationalities, e.g. playing at Little Golem and Boîte à Jeux, but these are individuals (like Xander Nijhuis from the Netherlands and the brothers Mertner for Denmark) who try to break the German supremacy. We'll see whether some more fellow their countrymen will stand up to join them in this fight.
Four players ended with 3 wins each. Thierry Claudel's MB-score was just a bit better than the others, so he snatched the 3rd place.

Fine note: It was for the first time a player from France won a throphy in a Project GIPF event.
