The local team from TV Vaihingen / Enz will be in action for the first time on Friday, April 27 around 11:30 a.m. The games are played best of five in the system “Double Elimination”, which means that in case of defeat, a team can qualify for the final via the consolation round. Each team thus has at least two games.

All teams that do not qualify for the finals or bronze medal match on Saturday will have the opportunity to attend the Vaihingen Spring Tournament on Saturday. This will also be part of the IFA Fistball World Tour again in 2018, so that all teams can score points for the classification. All teams that are in the semi-finals will receive a wildcard and enter the tournament on Sunday.

A total of more than 100 women’s and men’s teams from 13 countries and five continents participated in the IFA 2017 Fistball World Tour, which qualified in 20 tournaments on all continents.

Mayor Gerd Maisch has taken on the patronage of the Volunteer Program, which seeks out volunteer helpers to support the event.

Registration is possible until the end of February www.fistball-worldtour.com/volunteers
