Through four decades and beyond, Jeux Sans Frontières and its associated national domestic competitions - including It's A Knockout, Intervilles, Spiel Ohne Grenzen and Zeskamp - became much-loved European obsessions. Once described as "the zany Olympics", these were televised competitions of physical prowess, humour and sometimes plain lunacy and luck, which set town against town whilst promoting goodwill between the competing nations. Domestic heats in countries such as Great Britain, Germany and Netherlands would reward winning teams with progression to the International Series - where they would face their European counterparts in historic and often exotic locations on the continent. In most other countries the teams were chosen directly for the International Series with no Domestic competitions. The games were colourful and inventive and the annual competitions gained impressive television viewing figures across Europe.

Among this site's 600 pages, visitors will find an exhaustive guide to all these series and more besides. The focus of this site was initially heavily weighted towards the years in which Jeux Sans Frontieres and It's A Knockout ran on British television, but over the years since JSFnetGB was launched in 2003 the scope has widened considerably. Consequently, you will find results and details here from all years and flavours of Jeux Sans Frontières, from its earliest days in Italy as Campanile Sera, right up to 21st century revivals including Intervilles International and Eurogames. In addition, you will find team, venue and winners' databases plus a series history containing detailed information on the development of the various programmes, the people who made, presented and refereed the games and you'll also hear from some of the competitors who took part in them. Also presented, where available, is information from local, national and international press coverage and items of interest from publications including the souvenir brochures issued at the event.
