I've finally gotten around to posting the details for the tournament to be held in Linköping in about 6 weeks.
All contact details and so on should be up on the tournaments page, if they aren't then drop me a line. Any questions about the actual tournament should be addressed to the organiser.
I still intend organising something in Uppsala at some stage...probably next year. Om jag hinna någon gång... |

Will it be possible for tournament participants to join the NAF at the tournament? Personally I think that would be a great idea - we'd have a lot more NAF-members to play against! |

I had a bloody good time...4 matches that were great fun, 1 match that I really don't remember much of beyond my opponent's orc team shooting themselves in the foot with bad dice rolls and 1 match against a complete a-hole. Still, 12 matches into my open tournament career and only one dickhead is not doing too badly.
Quite chuffed with my 3-1-2 record (even if that one loss did come against the dickhead) against some very good competition.
I'm now seriously considering making Lincon the official NAF Swedish championship tournament from now on. I reckon I have the authority to do that...if ANders will agree to it, because I thought he did a blinding job. |

why not preseve it as an open championship so we close by (copenhagen) could come and play you. (I did have other plans for this weekend else I would have been there....) You could then make the best swedish player champion and the rest of us could just have a good time

Anyone would be welcome to the tournament...it would work the same way the dutch and french open tournaments worked - as you said, the best ranked Swedish player being declared champion.
I reckon that declaring it the official SM would possibly attract more players is all. |

Thanks Thadrin.
It's always great when people appriciate the work I dedicated to the tournament. Maybe I'll be back next year. Hope so but real life may interfere.
The wood elf team won.
You'll get all the results later tonight.
Cheers.
/Reventlov aka Anders the BB organizer at Lincon and still tired after a hard weekend. |

I had a great time too, and yes, Reventlov did a great job: everything went extremely smooth. Unlike Thadrin I didn't get to meet anyone who wasn't a real nice person.
I have only one thing to complain about: my own match-record: 2/2/2. According to the LinCon point table it placed me in place 17 out of 20...
...and using the 3-for-a-win-1-for-a-draw-0-for-a-loss-points it placed me 8 out of 20
Yes, I spent some time coming up with an explanation for my "home league" friends and girlfriend who all expected me to win, at least.

He did, no doubt about that. However, what's the point in making a specific tournament the Swedish championship tournament? Is it to get someone to send to a European Championship?
Anyway I much prefer the national (or whatever) championship being decided by a national ranking computed by the results of all NAF-sanctioned tournaments in the area (like Sweden, for example).
There's loads of point-scoring-systems used to decide that kind of thing: I remember one giving 0 pts to the winner, 1.7 to the runner up and so on, and a "last place" score for all who don't attend a specific tournament. I could try to find it if you want to. |

Actually Puckohue. If you give 3p for win and 1p for a tie you will end up at 11th place tied with a couple of others. |

1) Bragging rights
2) to get more people interested in coming to the tournament.

Ugh...that would mean an enormous amount more work for me, especially if people go abroad to play in tournaments (for example, if you lot go over the bridge to Copenhagen for a tournament, or me going to Germany, Holland, Britain etc.)
Better to just have a straightforward championship tournament. |
