COOT 08

COOT 08 is an online tournament, starting in June 2008. It is organised by Jon O'Neill and notably marks the return of Julian Fell to online games after a four-year hiatus. There were 22 entrants, so a preliminary round was held to eliminate six players. The remainder of the tournament followed the normal knock-out format.
