Finding 'Good' crap games is not easy. It involves a little bit of science, a little bit of art, and a lot of playing random games. Throughout the years we've been blessed to play many crap tournament games that end up being both fun and competitive. Much of the credit for finding those games goes to three individuals that we honour with the Von ZerBarr Open. They are of course Von Dummpenstein, Zerst and Barra.
The oft-overlooked sequel, Gaplus, will be the focus of this challenge!

The Crap Tournaments were born in the forums of CAGDC during the early years of the King of Kong CAG boom. While that site has all but disappeared we still honour the legacy of what CAG gamers did while part of that community.

That sharing of knowledge and transparency of gameplay skills is what helped birth CAG live streams and eventually other modern sites like DKF.
