He won the game 2-0 (11-8, 12-4). Last year he was at the sixth place in Pajulahti Games. - The game was quite tight and it was pretty good game for me. I was a little bit lucky in the game, because the ball went often out of table by Scarsos bat. We have been played against few times, so we know each other quite well, he said. - I personally don’t like these tables in Pajulahti, because serving is a little bit difficult, Juglar said. - I have been played showdown for last ten years, at least. I practice showdown one or two times in a week, and I like to train more, but my job takes most of my time. I play and practice in Dutch league, there is many good players, so we all have good practice with playing against each other, Juglar told.

------------------------------------------------------------ IBSA Showdown SubCommittee has decided to test lower centerboard screen in Pajulahti Games 03.01.2013 IBSA Showdown SubCommittee has decided to test lower centerboard screen in Pajulahti Games. - This year we have had a lot of discussions about a new technic to play Showdown. It's about "flying balls". In IBSA Showdown SubCommitte we have had a lot of discussions and ideas how we can make the rules better for the future, says chairman Krister Olenmo. - In the committee we have the opinion that Showdown is a game played with an audible ball. If the game makes inaudible by like flying balls it is against the philosophy of the game. So we have had asked the organization in Pajulahti Games 2013 to lowering the centerboard screen. The opening between the surface and the centerboard screen will during this games in January be 10 cm. This is a test so we can see how it works, says Olenmo. The Organization has got the dispense to play with this lowered centerboard screen and with the "dutch" ball.
