The 1985 event started with a World's Masters Cup with 2 Australians, 4 Americans and 6 Europeans competing in Paris. This event was followed by a lightning tour of nine resorts by the 4 American throwers. The major organizer, Vitesse, raised $130,000 for this highly successful event. The four Americans were Eric Darnell, Chet Snouffer, Barnaby Ruhe and Peter Ruhf. Ben Ruhe was the team captain. You can read the details of this event in Many Happy Return #23.
