Check out the highlights videos before reading the tournament results:

Congratulations to Paula Mühlmeyer for winning the 2023 Women's Tournament without losing a single match (10 wins, 0 losses), and taking the year-end number one spot in the 2023 Women's Rankings. Callie Lawrie took second at the European Championships and in the year-long rankings.

Bas Van de Kerkhof won the Open Tournament, and also ends the year as number one in the 2023 Open Rankings. In 2023 he also won the NJF and BJC Major tournaments, along with wins at Dortmund and Konvensie.

Jasper Moens ends the year in second place, with most of his points coming from wins at the EJC and Israel and his second place at the European Championships.

Jon Peat won the 2023 British Series, which determined the top combat player based purely on tournaments in the UK, and earned an automatic invite to the European Championships, though he would have qualified for the Open Tournament anyway. He secured seventh place at the tournament with three wins in group stage, and ends the year sixth in the Open Rankings.

Thanks again, and look out for exciting news about the 2024 season and tournament calendar!
