eclotteryHANOVER - The list of players for the European Riichi Mahjong Championship 2010 is complete. Today, in the Hanover restaurant 'Gaststätte Kaiser', the lottery for the last seats was held.

The lucky winners are:

  • Wolfgang Franke (Germany)
  • Gerda van Oorschot (the Netherlands)
  • Leevi Rasila (Finland)
  • Giorgio Moratti (Italy)

After Italy had officially called off its participation in the ECR and the quota was already redistributed to Poland and Turkey, at last one Italian player showed up just before the registration deadline. This Giorgio Moratti was lucky enough to catch one of four seats in the lottery, which raffled off the left-over seats of the unused Swedish and only partially used Japanese quota.

The drawing of the lots took place in the famous Gaststätte Kaiser, which will also host the warm-up evening event for the ECR on the Friday before the contest.

The five less lucky applicants for these last seats are on the waiting list and will be invited to play, if someone from a nation without an internal waiting list will cancel his attendance.
