see explanation Explanation: Grümpel, grümpeln- dialect form of Krümel, krümeln (crumb) A google search came up with several 100 references to tournaments, mostly soccer, but also tennis - all in Switzerland and adjacent areas From what I could gather it's a special tournament organized for kids,, in your case in a township called Meilem. Kids' tournament might be an option, with the original in brackets(or vice versa) Reference: http://www.gleichamberg.de/Bmundart.htm. |
