History
The first edition of the Cicero Combi was held on January 20, 2018. It was inspired by the Leiden Combi, a tournament in Leiden using the same format. When the Leiden Combi was consistently not organised, this led to T.D.V. Cicero organising the Cicero Combi again in 2020 after a year of absence.
