==Competitions and events== In the early 1990s two official Sensible Soccer World Cups took place, the latest was hosted in the City Pride pub of Farringon and the winner was Simon Byron. Since then, two official Xbox 360 SWOS tournaments were organized by Codemasters. During a press event for the XBLA release on 5 July 2007, the Challenge Cup took place in the Sports CafΓ© in London, which was won by Tomslav. Additionally there was an official World Cup on 14 March 2008 at the Codemasters Connect 2008, Birmingham UK. The winner of this tournament and the prize money of Β£1,000 was Brian Davidson, beating his friend of 20 years Jamie Reid in the final 13β5. Apart from that, ''SWOS'' tournaments are mainly organized by the fans themselves. Some of the best-known events are the World SWOS Tournaments (WST) of the "SWOS Witnesses" in Serbia and the tournaments of the ISSA (International Sensible Soccer Association) in Copenhagen/Denmark, both played with the PC version. But the game is also very popular in Poland and Germany, tournaments with more than 40 players take place there on a regular basis (on Amiga as well). Furthermore, the world's biggest online community SensibleSoccer.de is organizing the "Sensible Days" once a year, a meeting of fans with international SWOS championships on PC and Amiga. The latest Sensible Days took place on the weekend of 18β19 August 2007 in Pirmasens/Germany. With more than 40 players from 12 nations, with top players from all existing rankings, it was so far the offline event with the strongest of known competitors overall. Philipp Habermann aka Playaveli from Germany was able to win both tournaments, thus being respected by many fans as the currently world's best SWOS player. The upcoming Sensible Days will take place on 9β10 August 2008, again in Pirmasens. The SWOS tournaments of this event are the first time acknowledged by Codemasters, so both winners will be the first official SWOS World Cup Winners on PC resp. Amiga. Online competitions take place since 2003 which are mainly managed via the SensibleSoccer.de website. A special version of WinUAE with Kaillera client (netplay function) makes it possible to play the Amiga version through the internet. Besides national leagues there are also European cups and other tournaments. Meeting point for online players is [[IRC]] channel #sensible on [[QuakeNet]] servers. The Xbox 360 version of the game has its own community. The community is called SWOS Football Fantasy (SWOS FF) and it runs leagues and cups, with opportunities for players to create their own custom competitions. There is also a community called Tournamaniac. This community also runs leagues and cups for SWOS.
