The youth and guest house "Cap Wörth" served as the venue for the tournament. It is located at the southern lakeshore of the beautiful Wörthersee and has an own shore.

We had to share the hall with ~50 Warhammer Fantasy players of another tournament. There were about 18 Warhammer 40k players. Due to that reason the leeway was somehow limited. Fortunately, it wasn't that smelly because the glass doors on one side of the hall stood open all the time and one could get out on a terrasse to breath some fresh air.

We took a swim in the lake on Saturday evening which was very refreshing. The water was enjoyably warm for the middle of September. There were also available a football ground, a beach volleyball ground, a indoor pool and much more cool opportunities for the time after the games.

We enjoyed some grilled meat, sausages and potatoes after the bath and it was very delicious.

The prizes:
- 1. - 3. place
- Best Carinthian Player
- Best Painted Army

They gave away beautiful cups and a lot of non-cash prizes. Very worthy of praise!

And all that for 15 EUR of entry fee. Awesome tournament!
