Here is the latest news from the world of IBSA Showdown…

– The IBSA Showdown Committee has the pleasure to inform you that Mr Kang Ho Yong from Korea has been appointed to the committee as the new continental representative for Showdown in Asia.

In the last years Korea has performed a good job in developing showdown and building the necessary know-how to be the reference point for all countries in the continent. Korea now has national referees certified by the committee and has built its own tables with an innovative folding system.

Our friends in Korea are enthusiastic and eager to spread showdown in Asia, and we are sure our sport family will grow.
