Eight totaneros moved to Almendralejo (Badajoz) to play the Zonal Tournament.
Important individual tournament where players from Andalusia, Extremadura and Murcia (zone 4) participate in search of the first 9 qualifying places for the State Tournament that will be played in February and in which the 48 best in the national ranking participate.
In the children's category Pepe Carreño and Cayetano Rodríguez managed to pass the first phase as second and third group respectively.
Good matches of the two in the group stage with four games won and one lost although Cayetano was third for a triple draw.
In the qualifiers Cayetano gave in the first crossing with what was eliminated from the competition.
Pepe on the other hand if he managed to pass the first qualifying crossing with a good game and then in the second he lost so he had to fight for the ninth place that he failed to reach being in the 13th place.
In the sub 23 category the twins Santiago and Domingo were lucky.
Santiago was stuck in a triple tie between 2nd, 3rd and 4th occupying this last position while Domingo did get the pass.
At the crossroads the totanero was attached and then had to settle for position 13 although he had a match ball to continue fighting for 9th place.
In the Senior Julián Méndez category with big games in the most complicated group, he could only finish off a victory getting stuck in the first phase.
