A noisy, out of control at times, tournament. Shrouded in secrecy re the prizes. The entry fee was 35 euros. I thought all JBC members received a rebate of 20 euros ( info from 2018 when I remarked on how expensive it was!) : not the case, rebate only 10 euros, and if one won one of the 2 JBC prizes, then no rebate!. So I gambled 35 euros to win 40 euros over 2 extremely noisy, late, sessions- never again!!!
