The 20. Branko Boshnjak memorial 2015 Results..
The 2nd KWU World Tournament are history, and through the tournament many good impressions was done. The tournament was promoted with a bigger hype than before, and with a glorified setting that all parts should be united. The very first thing to do is to unite the schedule for the various partners that work together – if one really believe that this should be an overall World Championship. We have to be honest, and for the last years it has been common to join each others tournaments. With this angle we only have another new WT. All the organizations that was attended at the KWU have their own WT, and that will always be the main goal. And when the tournament are held close to other WT and big tournaments, it will hardy reach the height that we all dream of. So its time to get united – at the schedule..
This weekend it is ready for the 20th Branko Bošnjak Memorial! Several strong nations have once again signed up for this well organized tournament, that by the way is celebrating twenty years of hard work resulting in a legendary tournament.
