I will represent New Zealand. I believe I am the only one in the forum from over here.

Welcome AlbinoAsian!

@rfielder - thanks for the update. What expansions were you using that meant your game took five and a half hours?!

I have never won a game of Carcassonne against any human (only computer players), but any chance I get to play Carcassonne against other humans, I take! :)

I'm totally new to this JCloisterZone thing, but sounds interesting with Cathars as a price! :) May I play as-well? Anyone taken Finland yet, or is there a free Finnish spot? :)

Welcome BabyGamer, you'd be very welcome to join in! Please could you PM me with your email address?

The best way to improve is to play against real people so hopefully this will be a good experience for you! If you haven't already seen, full details of the competition can be found here: http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=911

You're very welcome to be Finland too. Good luck!

Not long to go now!

Surprisingly enough, despite there being 17 of us taking part, no two people are from the same country (except for those whose wives/ partners have joined in too). As such, the following countries are being represented:

- Canada
- Czech Republic
- England
- Finland
- Italy
- Latvia
- Netherlands
- New Zealand
- Scotland (not quite but practically)
- Spain
- Sweden
- Switzerland
- Thailand
- USA
- Venezuela

What surprises me even more is that there is nobody from Germany! I had such high hopes of the country where Carcassonne was born...

If you would prefer to represent a different country/ region/ area than your current location (as far as I’m aware of it) then please let me know.

Entries are open until midnight tonight so please feel free to post here and then drop me a PM with your name, location and email address if you’re interested in taking part.

Hey Ross. Two of my friends (alright, both of them :) ) have signed up too. If your friend takes part we'll reach 20 people which would be ideal as we would have 4 groups with 5 players each.

Entries are now closed and we have exactly 20 players (4 groups of 5 - top 2 from each group to qualify for knock-out stage)!

I will be emailing everyone on Monday with some final instructions and then we'll be off.

Enjoy your weekends!  :)
