If you are in front of Maldensteijn, you can find its main entrance at its right side.

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.
-All game material will be presented on a separate [[wts:material|page]], only accessible by the organising committee.
