Historical Competitions
These Competitions have been held for at least three years. They have a solid organisation and a great list of events. Usually, they also attract top competitors.
Many more deserve this status, but I would need to get in contact with their organizer before I can add them to this list.
The list is in order of usual apparence during the year.
