On 7 October 2023, an extraordinary Amateur Tournament took place on the grounds of the beautiful Zamarski park. Despite the fact that autumn was already setting in, the event attracted a large number of participants from all over Poland and spectators ready to compete and have fun.
The first thing that caught the eye was the strong wind that blew throughout the day. Although some feared that it might hinder the competitors from competing, it turned out that it gave a unique charm to the whole event. On the contrary, it gave the competition some drama and an extra challenge, especially when a strong gust hit the side wall of the huge tent. Fortunately, the structure survived this 'attack' thanks to the right safeguards.
Competitors competed in three events: Pairs Amateur, Pairs Women and Pairs Junior. Emotions ran high, especially in the decisive moments of the competition. A delicious pea soup and sausages were prepared for all those in attendance by the TSO Zamarski. There was also a refreshment stand.
The level of competition was really high, which just goes to show what a great sport table football is. The final match between the representation of the Babice Table Football Club "Double J" and the Arapaima Team from Bielsko-Biała was refereed by the Table Football World Champion Michał Lipiński from the Cracow Table Football Club.
Even despite the difficult weather conditions, the Amateur Tournament was a success. Participants and spectators enjoyed a fantastic day outdoors, in an atmosphere of competition and friendly fun. This event proved that a passion for sport and moments spent together at the foosball table can overcome even slightly capricious weather.
