This year again, we choose to stay at the domaine de la Dune, on the Arcachon Bay. A place which pleased year after year: in a wooded park ; a 3-minute walk to the beach, a few kilometers from exceptional touristic places like the Dune of Pilat, the pier and the winter city of Arcachon, the birds' island, and so on.

For this edition we’re keeping the same formulae: 5 round tournament, hosting and catering on site.

What means Bordeaux is a bonus C tournament ?

  1. the first 5 places will therefore earn points for the qualification to the Grand Slam Tournament.
  2. Prize money for the first spots.
  3. A local surprise for everyone.
  4. Prizes for youngsters.
