 +===== Locations and game fee =====
 +The game will be played on Saturday, the 1<sup>st</sup> of April, 2023 in Multifunctional Center Maldensteijn, Kerkplein 8 (not 8a: that is another building), 6581 AC Malden, The Netherlands. Maldensteijn is located in one of the corners of the central roundabout of Malden (or its 3<sup>rd</sup>  counting from the north and 2<sup>nd</sup> from the south). If you are in front of Maldensteijn, you can find its main entrance at its right side.
 +
 +If you come by car, try to park in the quarter next to the center or on one of the long stay parking places (On the Kerkplein itself, there are parking places marked with blue paint: these are for 3 hour stays only). If you come by public transport, take line 83 either from Nijmegen or from Gennep/Venlo and get off at the bus stop named Groesbeekseweg. You should be in front of Maldensteijn.
 +
 +The game will also be played on Saturday, the 3<sup>rd</sup> of June 2023 in Multifunctional Center De Enk, Enkstraat 67, 8012 VA Zwolle, The Netherlands. De Enk is located in the center of Zwolle. Three public parking places can be found near de Enk. It it also within walking distance of the Central Station Zwolle.
 +
 +Because the costs to organise the game (rent of the facility and the printing costs of the game material) have risen, we were forced to increase the entrance fee for the games. The cost to participate in the game are €30,-- for players. Umpires, however, participate for free. The rules of the game are quite self explaining. You will receive a small briefing during the day. Both venues will be open for players at 9.30 in the morning. The game will end around 17.00. The game will not stop for lunch.
