Hawk127 1,359 Posted October 21, 2016 Does anyone know if the German championship is being held on the Thursday before the world championship round on the Sat/Sun at the beginning of March? Just looking at flights and hotels which seem cheap at the moment for this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conkers 67 Posted October 25, 2016 As far as I'm aware it probably will be the Thursday before. But as their website is being reconstructed, there is no information. However, there is a countdown clock which works out to end at 5pm on 2nd March, which is usually the start time for the German Championship. Hope this helps.
