Hungarian Open 2019: Facts and figures

The first of two days of the Hungarian Open 2019 in Székesfehérvár, Hungary will start in a few hours on Saturday morning. How will the tournament go? And why are that many strong international teams at the tournament this year? The last question can be answered due to the geographical location and by the professional structure in the background of the organization. Another point is the international judges, who were already there in the last year with Stefanie Semkat, Vittorio Papvero and Petr Pupik. This year Sandra Deidda, Jan Egil Eide and Jocke Tangfelt will be in the ring. During the two days, the first 6 teams of each run in the categories Small, Medium and Medium+ qualify directly for the final.
