This weekend in Konz are the games for the German championship. A very strong tournament, organized by the Deutsche Cornhole Organization (DCO). The national association of Germany. On behalf of the Wicked Wood team, Silke Bitz, Rico Krull, Arno Simons and Felix von Roeder competed in the singles.
Silke Bitz loses narrowly in eighth final
After a very strong group stage, in which Silke won 4 of her 5 matches, she also started energetically in the elimination round. Due to her good position she had a bye in the first round. Then she defeated Carsten Lewits 2-0. In the next round, she faced another ACL Pro: Konrad Rein. The two were evenly matched but it was Silke who prevailed. In the end, Max Kreutzer was unfortunately just too strong, leaving the quarterfinals just out of reach. Still a strong performance by Silke!
Arno also just missed the quarterfinals, losing to Edgar Fetzer, the surprise of the day. Arno has high hopes for tomorrow.
No semifinals for Rico Krull
Star player Rico Krull played strong today. In the preliminary round he won everything and he was also strong in the elimination round. However, he did not make it to the quarterfinals. Günni Reitz was his opponent, another title favorite. Unfortunately, Rico found his Waterloo and just missed the semifinals.
Felix von Roeder also had a good day but tough draw. Other title favorite Rene Schindler was unfortunately just a little too strong for him leaving the quarterfinals out of reach.
