Individual champions
Won in its first three years by Kevin Ashman of England, Belgian Nico Pattyn took the crown in 2007 in Blackpool, to become the first Belgian to win the trophy. Ashman rebounded to win in 2008, 2009 and 2011 to make it six out of eight. In 2012 Holger Waldenberger won thanks to two points scored for the very last question, about musician Dr. John , after having trailed by one point from Estonia’s Igor Habal. Belgium’s Ronny Swiggers took the title in 2013 and England’s Olav Bjortomt won in 2014.
