Carcassonne mini-tournament 2015
Verfasst: Di 3. Mär 2015, 10:21
This Saturday I had my third Carcassonne tournament. We set a new record of activity: 19 people came to play, many of them - first time visitors on tournaments. I received only positive feedback, many participants asked how often such events occur. I just invited them to visit my monthly game nights, because my tournament occurs only once a year 
All 33 expansion that I have were involved, luckily I had some helpers that could explain the rules to the newbies. There were 4 groups with 5 participants, one group was shorthanded by one. Last year's winner zone2 won the group without losses, but suddenly lost in QF. For the final randomly were picked 2 expansions "Sheep and Hills" and "German Cloisters", and it was won by 6 points by permanent participant Martins.
Photo-report can be seen here. Also there are all group stage and final stage tables with results. One game was lost because one player was run out of time (25 minutes each, expansion - Plague). Of course, you can use google translate to understand the text, but I already told you the main idea
I liked the event very much, as much as all other participants. Same applies to the format - group stage format was much better than double elimination, so I will continue to use it in the future tournaments.
