So far, the SDC tournaments have only been held in Switzerland. Now the organizers of this organization, Marc Inhelden and Egzon Olluri, dare to step across the border. From January 2024, tournaments will also be held in Germany, in Mönchengladbach.

These tournaments, like those held in Switzerland, can also be followed via live stream on youtube. The registration phase for participation is already underway.
