    May 8 2024

    In this episode Rob and Val discuss the many benefits of playing an Old World Tournament with your friends… specifically, a whole team of them. The fellas discuss how Team based events work, ramble through a bit of the proud history of team events, and then go over some highlights from the FIRST OLD WORLD TEAMS event EVER held (that we know of) last week at the TSN Arena in Nottingham.

    Val also took a moment to say a few words about his friend Alex Stewart who recently passed away. If you’d like to learn a bit more about him please click here: https://beechwoodottawa.ca/en/services/joseph-alexander-stewart
