ICSF Casting Championships - 2008

World Championships 9th-14th September

Krakow, Poland

18 Countries and 101 Competitors

The event saw very changeable weather, constant wind direction changes and speeds making the court builders job a complete nightmere. The tempreture variation didn't help either from the hgih 20's to very low teens. A well managed and enjoyable event.
