Christof Nuyttens and Sebastian Beasdale with 6 wins...

Everybody thought that the ZÈRTZ WC was going to become a duel between Stephen Tavener (GB) and Michael Reitz (D), but it didn't turn out that way. Both had been teaching the others all they knew about the game and apparently they did it a bit too well. Christof Nuyttens (B) and Sebastian Bleasdale (GB) had been very attentive listeners and, once the championship was started, confronted the others whit what they had learned. They played very solid and scored 6 wins each, but Christof had won his game against Sebastian and that was rewarded with the title of first ZÈRTZ world champion. Sebastian got silver and Stephen Tavener got the bronze medal for his 5 wins.
