Voici un ensemble de règles permettant de choisir les représentants belges à certaines compétitions internationales. Ces règles ont été discutées par le CA courant 2010.

Lisez les règles ici (version française). Si vous désirez les traduire en néerlandais, merci de contacter le board...

There was a mistake in the first list. Note that those players have been selected for the Final tour (5-6 and 19-20/03/11)

Unfortunately, once again, the strengh difference proved to be too great: Belgium lost 0-4 to Danemark in the 4th round (played 25/01/11)...

Despite the fact that no Belgian player has lost against a (on paper) weaker opponent up till now, Belgium has only 2 points after the 4 first rounds...(looks like typical Belgian Eurovision score, isn'it ?! :-) 

Beligum - Poland 0-4

- Pantin got last place with 2 points, having played only two rounds (despite being by far the largest club in Belgium !)
- Antwerpen got fourth place with 6 points
- Namur - previous champions - became third with 7 points and 13 'ponderated' points
- Gent got second place with 7 points and 14 ponderated points
- Leuven is the new winner with 8 points.

Congratulations to Leuven ! The trophy, currently held be Namur, will now go to Leuven.

Belgium lost 1-3 to United Kingdom, who was average +/- 3 stones/levels stronger.
Dominik Versyk (1-k) managed to beat his 3-d opponent ! Congratulations to him !
