The Tournament Of The South Pacific

With New Zealand the first port of call for many of the smaller island nations of the South Pacific/Oceania region, this tournament is filled with citizens of South Pacific islands.

One player just took a seat at Mike King's table with a French accent. "Are you from New Caledonia?" asked King.

"Yes," came the reply from Douyere Fabrice, a Noumea based, French speaking player.

There are also representatives on Tonga, Samoa, and Fiji among others.
