All players from the various nations gathered together and celebrated the European Championships. During the party, the disclosure of the election for player of the year 2013 took place. Darren Appleton (GBR) was elected Player of the Year 2013 with the most votes. He had a small advantage over Nataliya Seroshtan (RUS) in the end.
