2nd Domino World Championship 1996
Sigrid Sagevik is Domino World Champion 1996!
On Sunday, 29 December 1996, the second decentralised Domino World Championship took place. Eleven groups with a total of 57 players played: one in Norway (Florø), four in Germany (two each in Lohe and in Löffingen at the DGJ winter camp), six in Switzerland (two in Basel, four in Grenchen).
Unfortunately, three teams had to be disqualified because they did not play according to the rules announced in advance. One Basel group named seven players instead of five. If the Basel group had agreed in advance with the Grenchen group, some of whom were unable to participate due to a lack of players, everyone would have had more to gain!)
The two teams of the DGJ winter camp played all three rounds in unchanged composition and seating order, although the change (e.g. by drawing lots) was required – especially with 10 participants, such a change only starts to become interesting! Whoever sits behind a good or bad player for three rounds is disadvantaged or favoured compared to the other World Cup participants.
So it was with a heavy heart (around 5:15 a.m.) that we had to make this strict decision in order to remain fair to the rejected players.
