Dear Umpires,
On behalf of the Tournament, IT and Umpire Committee we would like to thank you all for your professionalism and commitment over the last two weeks in providing our ITF members with a World event. Although it could not be a replacement for the World Cup, the eTournament went a long way in keeping our ITF family connected and you, the Umpires, by giving up your time, allowed this to happen.
The e-Tournament is different in many ways and one of those unusual situations is not knowing who your Ring Council Members are. Now that the tournament is over we can now reveal who you were scoring with.
Good health to you all until we can meet again in person
Kindest regards and best wishes from the World E-Tournament Committee
Master Harry Vones, Chairman IT Committee and Tournament Organiser
Master Abelardo Benzaquen, Chairman Umpire Committee
Master Coos van der Heuvel, Chairman Tournament Committee
Grandmaster Alberto Katz, IT Committee Member
Master Kurt Ottesen, Umpire Committee Member

The results of the 1st World E-Tournament
Dear e-Tournament Committee members!
I fully agree with your comments about the work of the Umpires from all over the World.
It is indeed a fact that the best organised tournament is not possible without the participation and help of the umpires.
On behalf of the ITF Executive Board I send you all my respect and gratitude for making this tournament a great success.
With warmest regards
Paul Weiler
ITF President
