On Saturday April 19th, 2025, we welcomed twelve players to a duplicate Skat tournament in the Fishes, North Hinksey, Oxford. Five of them were new to our tournaments, so we assigned a spcial prize to the new played with the best score.
We played four rounds, each of 21 boards. Three players dropped out after the second round, and three more after the third.
The first Fishes Skat tournament was held in 2001.
