The Jacques Paloumé is a field hockey tournament and festival hosted by three European hockey clubs.
An informal tournament was held in 1949.[1] The tournament was first hosted in 1950, in Dieppe by East Grinstead.[1] In 1951, the tournament was hosted in Rouen, France.[1] In 1954, Gross Flottbek, a hockey team from Hamburg, Germany, hosted the tournament for first time.[1]
The tournament's location rotates each year between Rouen (France), Gross Flottbek (Hamburg, Germany) and East Grinstead (Sussex, England).[1] These three clubs compete for the Jacques Paloume trophy.[1]
Format edit
Each year, the Jacques Paloumé takes place over four days, Friday through Monday.[1] Participants arrive on Friday to start to celebrate.[1] Hockey is played during the day on Saturday with a party hosted in a different location in the evening.[1] Hockey is also played during the day on Sunday; there is a gala dinner and presentations in the evening in a different location.[1] The participants leave the next day on Monday.[1]
