Online, July 27, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Czech Republic national team member Pavel Zoufaly won the 7th World Marbles Championship which took place in Prague this weekend. In the final match he won the match against Miroslav Hlous who got the 2nd place. The 3rd place won Jakub Fuss.

"I am very happy about this victory," says new world champion Pavel Zoufaly. "The title of the world champion is big success itself, however, since I am the first Czech player who won the World Marbles Championship, Czech Marbles Championship and Czech National Ranking, I achieved everything what is possible to reach in the marbles sport."

Even though game of marbles is known as a children play, in the World Marbles Championship compete adults. Marbles tournaments are attended by all generations -- we can see to participate young people between 15 and 30 years as well as many middle-agers and people in the best age. In some countries were established national marbles federations with many clubs which organize local tournaments.

There are two parts of the game. In the first part, players throw all their marbles from the throwing line one by one. The goal of this part of the game is to throw the marbles as close to the hole as possible (or directly to the hole). The player who has more marbles in the hole or the players with the closest one starts the second part of the game. In this part, both players shoot the marbles using one finger to the hole. The players are changing in the game after every shoot. The player who puts all of them to the hole as first is winner of the game.

But World Marbles Championship is not only strong competition. There is enough time to discover some of hundreds sightseeings, go shopping or go to the pub with players from another countries.

This year 34 players participated in the World Marbles Championship. For more information about the results and future international marbles tournaments please visit http://www.worldmarblesfederation.com/ .
