Looking forward to seeing you all at ASO !! And hope you like the scenario selection 🙂 Merry Christmas Michael

The 25th ASO is getting close The dates are set; Wednesday the 2nd to Sunday the 6th, with the main tournament starting Friday, as usual. The Location is Danhostel Ishøj, like august 2021. The old location went bankrupt in late 2020, and is torn down. The scenario list is made public. You can find it at our homepage WWW.asl-so.dk or at Gamesquad. So, we are ready ..... the great unknow factor is off course, the current surge in Covid-19. We have done what Bo and I, together with Danhostel Ishøj, thinks is necessary; all participants have to be vaccinated att least twice or have the antibodies from recovering from recent Covid-19 virus. Dokumentation is needed. In Denmark, we currently have no limitation on the number of people that can attend events like ASO. We hope to se you at ASO next year. Best regards, Merry Christmas and Happey New ASL Year Bo and Michael

We hope that around 40 played will attend, which should be possible with the number of players contacting us the last days..... but at the moment 10 is the maximum number of allowed people in the same room, so things will have to change for the better. Getting the vaccinations started will hopefully get it done. Michael

ASL Scandinavian Open 2020 was - as far as I know - the last international tournament before Covid-19 hit us all. Now we hope that ASO 2021 will be able to be one of the first FtF international tournaments post Covid :-) We have postponed the tournament to June, starting Friday the 11th to Sunday the 13th. The situation in june is off course a bit uncertain, but we cross our fingers and hope for a speedy recovery with a lot of effective vaccinations the next 6 months. We start by planning a 3 day event, but we will be happy to open for friendly gaming one or two days earlier, if there are players willing to attend earlier. We also have had to find a new tournament facility as Danhostel Amager closes for two years while a new city and a new Danhostel Amager are built in its place. Danhostel Ishøj have been chosen as a replacement in 2021, and maybe in 2022. Travel by car to Ishøj is not much different, but it takes a bit longer by train from the airport - 40 min with one shift, and 15 min by cab. Hope to see a lot of you from Sweden again best regards, Merry Christmas happy new year and roll low :-) Bo and Michael

Hi Andreas - the cost should be the same as last year - and very near the same as two years ago. We try to keep them as low as possible, the 200 dkr tournament fee is all we get to handle the tournament, the rest is payment to Danhostel. If you share a room with at least one other the overall cost is much lower, sharing with 3 others will reduce it to around 1800 dkr for the three day event. This year we had a deduction for those who attended all 5 days. To my surprise at lot of the non Scandinavian players prefer single rooms even though their overall cost suffers :-) This year we payed Danhostel around 115.000 dkr - a very large amount of money to handle .... and takes a lot of time to organize. Thanks for your support Andreas, not only this time but also for all the other years you have supported ASO See you at Supporting Fire :-) Michael

update: 38 players in the main tournament Friday. 10 players will start playing Wednesday, with 4 more flying in Thursday. We have players attending with a wide range of skill level, so you don't need to be a very good ASL players to attend - there will be a lot of fun :-) Michael

32 players have preregistered in the main tournament .... until now ...including 6 Swedes; Melvin Falk, Christoffer Peyre, Daniel Qvarfordt, Andreas Carlsson, Mattias Bergwall, Mattias Rönnblom. And there is room for more :-) Richard Dagnall, Eoin Corrigan, David Muir and Bo Siemsen will play "hygge spil" from Wednesday to Sunday Michael

Clarification .. the secret mini tournaments scenarios will not be secret during play....but will be announced just before the round starts :-) Michael
