He notes the disparity in training facilities across European countries highlighting the importance of such camps particularly for nations lacking adequate training centers.

With forty-eight participants in Havířov logistical demands are significant such as the requirement for twenty-four tables for a two-day tournament. Despite the challenges BATORFI praises the organization and training opportunities provided at the Havířov center. He lauds the excellent conditions including the modern hall quality food accommodation and the competent coaching and support staff. Overall he expresses his fondness for Havířov and its status as one of the top training centers in Europе.
