Andreas organized an NK-4 tournament for the first time in the summer of 2023 and says:
"The NK-4 tournament series is simply great for me as a tournament organizer! We organized the first tournament to really bring the facility to life in the summer and particularly appeal to our hobby players. We succeeded in doing that straight away. The short sets and others Rules bring quick matches and lots of variety.
Organizing the tournament via the platform was really easy. Here you can see that real professionals were at work during the development. For me as a tournament organizer, the NK-4 series is also a format in which we can earn some money directly and without risk.
Particularly noteworthy is the commitment and support of Nicolas Kiefer and his business partner Andreas Riediger, owner of an IT company and expert in the field of digitalization (sitaas GmbH). Both were always available as contacts and actively inquired several times before, during and after the tournament whether everything was going well.
We will definitely host more NK-4 tournaments here."
