Since that time we have produced 3 World 14.1 Championships in a row. Thats when I decided to see if DP could revive the World Championship.

These were my very good friends, and they had a talent in a game which no one could see. I thought, what a shame that there is no platform for them to compete in with other great 14.1 players.
