Our annual national Othello tournament
Since 1995 we have organised a national Othello tournament (“the Nationals”) nearly every year in different cities around Australia. The purpose of this tournament is mainly for Othello players from all over the country to get together at least once a year and play our favourite strategy game. We also award a trophy to the winner, who becomes known as the Australian Othello champion for that particular year.
