Hans also commended the event's lively atmosphere, highlighting the interactive stalls, games, and entertainment that set it apart from other sporting events.\n\nAnother regular attendee, Leon, who is in his sixth year at the tournament, echoed Hans' sentiments. \"Personally, I play golf and I'm a member of the club.
