The World Othello Federation is very positive that Japan Othello Association have decided to accept Mr. Takanashi and Mr. Okamoto as World Othello Champions 2012 and 2013! This is a very big step to again unite the Othello World!

We will inform you that the W.O.F and Megahouse in November started up discussions about a sponsorship agreement. W.O.F. also continues discussions with Anjar about the Othello future. We all look forward tothe day that the conflict about the trademark of Othello is over. The Othello world needs cooperation and that we all work toward the same direction: To make Othello more known and popular!

W.O.F. arranges the World Othello Championship (W.O.C.). We will continue to arrange W.O.C. in the same spirit as it has been done so far.

Megahouse as Trademark holder in parts of the world is very interested to continue to cooperate with the W.O.F. and make it possible so the W.O.C. can continue as the most important Othello tournament every year in the future! So we all hope that the discussions about sponsorship and cooperation will be successful!.

Megahouse has informed us that Othello World Cup (O.W.C) as it has been arranged in 2013 and 2014, will not continue. O.W.C. in Singapore 2014 will be the last O.W.C. in this format.

We believe in a good future for our beloved game Othello. Together we can make the game more popular and more well known then ever!

Dear all Othello-players,

2013 is soon history, and I hope you all have had a good Othello-year. This year started with a large tournament in Japan, Othello World Cup 2013. The tournament was arranged to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the release of Othello in Japan, and about 60 players from all over the world was invited to join the tournament. We who were privileged to take part in this celebration had a great time together in Tokyo.

In Europe the European Grand Prix (EGP) has been organized as every year, and in 2013 Greece was a new tournament entry. At the EGP tournaments there are always a great number of top players, but there seems to be a problem recruiting new players. All the federations seem to have a crisis of new players while the top ones still continue to play. In the end of the year Europe has started to formalize the rules of the EGP.

In Asia have Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong and China continued organizing their tournaments as usual. Vietnam is under consideration as a new Othello country, and arranged a tournament in September.

Players in Asia found hard time to participate in the World Othello Championship as most of them do not have sponsorships, and expenditures to Europe is quite expensive. If the WOC could be organized in Asia, it would be good for them.

In Americas there have been official tournaments in USA, Argentina and Brazil. There is no registered activity in other countries, but there are people searching for information in Venezuela and Colombia.

In 2013 World Othello Federation arranged the 37th World Othello Championship (WOC) in Stockholm, Sweden. This was the first time WOF was alone responsible for the tournament. The tournament was sponsored by local Swedish companies and some enthusiastic Othello players.

It is a lot of work to arrange such a tournament, and I want to thank all of you that contributed to make this tournament possible. A special thanks to Benkt Steentoft as Head Tournament Director and Emmanuel Lazard as Technical Tournament Director!

WOF will continue to arrange WOC in same spirit as it has been done so far. In November WOF and Megahouse started up discussions about a sponsorship agreement. Megahouse has informed us that Othello World Cup (OWC) will not continue. OWC in Singapore 2014 will be the last OWC in this format. Megahouse as Trademark holder in parts of the world is therefore very interested to cooperate with WOF and make it possible so the WOC can continue as the most important Othello tournament every year in the future. Of course WOF also continues discussions with Anjar about the Othello future.

I believe in a good future for our loved game Othello, and hope that we together with Megahouse and Anjar can make the game more popular and well-known in 2014.

I wish you all a Happy New Year, and hope you all will have an Othellofantastic year in 2014.

Tor Birger Skogen
President, World Othello Federation

看了主帖，一知半解，产生了以下想法，不知对不对，请教DJ和各位棋友：
1、世界联盟是WOC的主办方，而OWC是 ...

1、世锦赛（WOC）一向来是世界联盟（WOF）负责组织的。
2、日本联盟（JOA）为了庆祝奥赛罗40周年才组织的邀请赛。只因当时的 ”Othello“ 商标起了冲突，才会取名叫世界杯（OWC）。
3、既然是世界赛，一个就足够了。没必要你做你的，他做他的。要齐心合力，才能把 ”奥赛罗“ 更普及化。

WOF 和 JOA 从去年11月就开始商讨赞助金。WOF希望能拿到赞助金，好让更多的人来参赛。世界主席说如果能在亚洲举办世锦赛会对我们好。

只能坐等他们带来的好消息了。。。

个人理解
还是 Megahouse 和Anjar 以前赞助世锦赛的，没得到什么实际好处，还不如另起炉灶，办个世界 ...

想象力真丰富呢！

感谢DJ的回答。

也是探讨，我的想法是，如果要令“奥赛罗”更加普及，仅仅一个WOC是不够的。

国内比赛多当然好。他们只是要把两种世界比赛合并。即使以后日本要组织周年比赛也不会有这格式了。他们认为一个比赛才能肯定世界冠军。阿穆先生说的是，体育界都有世锦赛，世界杯。奥赛罗当然也可以有。只希望这新上任的世界主席会有更好的表现。

想知道合并之后的世界赛，在名称和赛制上和以前有什么不同？

他们没提。应该会保留世界锦标赛（WOC）吧。赛制得看了。

我们希望在1月底告诉大家2014世界锦标赛会在哪里举行。

Seven possible hosts have been two.

7个可能性的主办国已成2个。*

* Benkt的英文不怎么好。估计他的意思应该是之前找到了7可能性的主办国，后来就只剩最有可能性的2个了。

Benkt 的回复：

Yes, it was 7 federations who asked for WOC 2014, and it is now only 2 proposals left to study and discuss. We hope we will be able to get answers in end of January.

7个联盟提交主办2014世界锦标赛计划书。现在只剩下2个计划书研究和商讨。我们希望能在1月底得到答案。

Megahouse决定跟世界黑白棋联盟（WOF）合作，赞助所有世界联盟组织的活动（这包括世界锦标赛）。

在2014新加坡黑白棋世界杯的庆功宴，世界联盟宣布2014的世界锦标赛将会在泰国举行。2015在欧洲。2016在日本。
