The first event in the tour had just 10 players
Such a shame. Leksand is one of my favorite tournaments. Despite the 2000km drive, we been going there with a group of Dutch players for years now. Sadly, this year we couldn't make it. I guess many people feel they have seen Leksand already after the congress there in 2008, and are not willing to travel there again.
On September 10-11 there will be an ECup tournament in Delft, BTW. I've organized this tournament several times, and can highly recommend it. The venue is great. Low prices (coffee for 50 cents, soda for 1 euro, a bottle of beer for 1.50 and cheap food as well) and within easy walking distance of the old city center and the train station. And Delft is just a really beautiful city to visit:
