To win the tournament, a contestant had to win 5 games: 2 games of 4 players, 2 of with 3 players and 1 game of 2 players - the final. All games were played till 100 point where the first player reaching 100 both ending the game and being removed from the rest of the tournament.
Meaning: in games 1 & 3 the 3 players holding the smaller scores will be allowed to advance (and the first player to reach 100 points is out of the tournament). These 2 games, with 4 players are games of luck, giving as much good and bad chances to advanced Luxembourg DD players as they do with beginners. Anything can happen!
Games 2 & 4 the advantage will surely be with the experienced players, and the final game of 1 vs 1 will be the pinnacle of the domino strategy and tactics.
And here are the contestants:*David Luxembourg - the Luxembourg Domino Dojo Master himself, a strong favorite for winning the tournament, possible also the player with most experience.
*Stijn van der Vleuten - Also a strong favorite for winning the tournament. Although receiving only a crash course introduction to the secrets of Luxembourg Draw Dominoes, Stijn has showed great Domino talent, loosing only 2 out of the 20 to 30 games he played against/with David.
*Lea Liabastre-Chopin - Lea has been a full time apprentice in the Domino Dojo for the past few months, and has shown great potential. A player of the Intern League in the past weeks she managed to cut her losses down and move to the leading position. If she plays well she might just take the grand prize.
*Tzuhan Yeh - has only fundamental knowledge of the game. She might make it all the way to game 4, but chances are low on her making it to the final.
*Arwin Caljouw - despite having some small experience Arwin has only fundamental knowledge of the game as well. He might make it all the way to game 4, but chances are low on him making it to the final.
*Jannita van den Haak - Another Domino player with basic Domino skills, again might make it all the way to game 4, but chances are low on making it to the final.
*Florian de Visser - joining the Dojo only a few weeks ago, Florian has gain already some experience and might even make into the final, it will require a good mix of talent and lack to get him there however.
*Daniela Pais - a very strong favorite for winning the tournament, and the 2nd most experienced Domino player to enter the competition. although never completing her domino architecture levels Daniela is consider as an informal Domino Dojo master.
