Scandinavian Open 2016

[Michael H-L]

Scandinavian Open 2016 is closing in.

 

This year we will have the option of two days of friendly gaming starting Wednesday the 24th at 10 AM.

 

Besides this, the weekend will follow the usual rutine with a choice between an early 1st round Friday and the short round starting at 13.30. The tournament will have 5 rounds with 3 scenarios to choose.

Saturday evening will have a secret round, with a choice between 3 previously published scenarios - or if both players agree - one new unpublished scenario.

 

There will be players attending the long weekend, who only play friendly games, so if you enjoy ASL ,but not tournaments - this is the place to be, the last full weekend of February.

 

The dates are ; Wednesday the 24th of February to Sunday the 28th

 

Hope to see a lot you .. but please don't bring Zlatan ...he is so damn ,good that he might also win ASO :-)

 

best regards

 

Michael and Bo

Vilken tågavgång åker "Stockholmsgänget" med på fredagsmorgonen? Tänkte bara på samordningsmöjligheten med taxi sista biten och givetvis även trevligt resesällskap

[CTABKA]

Vi far med 05:21 tåget, tåg 519, , vagn 7. Väl mött, starkvin och annat lösryckt har medtagits för färden, vi ses där eller på turneringen

Aha, vad bra! Samma tåg vagn 4, Färdkost får det bli...

[Göran Andersson]

Kom ihåg pass eller annan ID handling annars kan ni bli kvar i Danmark.

Så sant! Kan bli svårt att övertyga en dansk securitasvakt vem man är annars..

[Jerry]

Ta både pass o ID-handling det finns nämligen 2 kontroller en ID-kontroll o en annan svårdefinierbar kontroll ....................

Så hur var det och hur gick det?

[carlsson]

Det var roligt, men det gick totalt åt h*e (för min del)!

Vet inte riktigt vad som hände, men jag gick 0-5, och vann pris för största ranking-minskningen... Helt sjukt.

 

Annars gjorde väl svenskarna helt okej, Melvin vann, Mattias Rönnblom kom trea och Mattias Bergwall vann en miniturnering.

Sånt händer - dock en fråga - var det helt nya opponenter? Ingen du spelade nån gång innan?

[Klas Malmström]

...och Mattias Bergwall vann en miniturnering.

Det var väl endast pga att hans sista motståndare la sig?

[carlsson]

Sånt händer - dock en fråga - var det helt nya opponenter? Ingen du spelade nån gång innan?

 

//Tysken

 

 

Det var blandat motstånd, enda nya var Daniel Bottemanne.

Sista partiet mötte jag Bergwall, och vi har spelat hyfsat jämnt historiskt.

Samtilga hade lägre ranking än mig, nu torde Bergwall ha mer än vad jag har...

 

Nåväl, jag hade roligt i alla fall! Framförallt lördag kväll då jag och Stefan Fiedler körde fyllefest-ASL Och partiet mot Bergwall på söndagen var riktigt skoj också då vi spelade Fangs of the Tiger (SP87). (Man kan tro att jag la mig här för att få det åtråvärda noob-priset, men Bergwall vann rättvist )

[Bo Siemsen]

The final game between Mr.Falk and Mr.Tournemire was won by Melvin Falk. In a game of "Best think again" Melvin had thought really well about how to defend against the aggressive russian and with a couple of turns still left Mr.Tournemire conceded game. With that Melvin claimed his 6th tournament win at Scandinavian Open. Congratulations and well done !

After a couple of late cancelations we had 38 players in the main tournament and 9 players who played friendly games for a total of 47 participants over the 5 day period that ASO lastet. The first players started showing up on monday and Tuesday. The first dice started rolling wednesday when there was about 10 people were there. By thursday there was about 20 people. We therefore consider the extended tournament a succes and we expect to offer something similar next year.

Thanks to everybody who participated and helped make it another succesful edition of Scandinavian Open. We hope you enjoyed it as much as Michael and I did ourselves and we hope to see you all and many more back for ASO 2017.
