As danisthirty wrote before (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=2907.msg43048#msg43048), it's me who will be responsible for further Leagues and World Cups, so the time has come to represent the next Expansion League: Bridges, Castles & Bazaars League!
Players have different opinions about this expansion, especially Bazaars element, but we have what we have. Besides, this expansion's selection is based on forum members votes (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=2774.0). I personally like this expansion, especially for bridges, as they can help to connect to opponent's farms much more easily >:D So, let's find out all the secrets of Carcassonne's 8th big expansion! :D
All matches will be base game + BC&B expansion only, total of 84 tiles including classic start tile. Not so big addition in tiles, but time consumption can be bigger because of bazaars. We do use auctions, so we'll play according to full official rules, without variants.
Maximum amount of players is not defined, let's see how many players we will get, and then I will decide, how many groups we will have. The registration gates will be opened for about 2 weeks.
Please confirm that you have read our Code of Conduct (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=2700) before signing up to take part, to ensure that you have a proper idea of what is expected of you individually in order for this competition to be successful and enjoyable for everyone. Tournament rules will be similar to all previous Expansion League competitions so most of you are familiar with them, but still I will publish the rules together with groups' breakdowns later.
Good luck to everyone! :(y)

Cool, I'm in. I'm pretty terrible at bridges so hopefully I can learn how to use them in this league while not getting beaten up too much. :green-meeple:
-
I would like to participate as well. One thing: how does the bazaars works online?

Two tiles are drawn and players make bids, like in real life game. Just try it yourself in two players game (when both players are you :) ).

Thanks, MrNumbers. I just did...so now i won't make a complete fool of myself in the first game to come... :yellow-meeple:

Boom! I'm in! It was weird not to be the person writing the first post for once!
My personal ambition is to use a castle to generate more than 3 points for once. >:(
-
Because I like the BCB exp a lot but had not the chance to play it often online - I'm definitely in if still possible!

Of course, possible! We just only started signing up ;)

This is only first time... ::)

Of course, I'm in if there's still space for me.
:red-meeple: :)

I'm in, of course. :violet-meeple:

I have never played this before, but count me in anyway!
-
Tonight I played a practice game of BC&B with danisthirty and Chooselife and we discovered that there are two CCCC tiles with bazaar in JCZ when there should be just one. MrNumbers, this is your first major crisis as league manager :)
-
Who told you that there should be only one? Check CAR first :))
First crisis reverted C:-)
-
Whoops! I did check the CAR but somehow missed the x2! Sorry, my bad. I must have been too excited about my victory in the game :)

I'm in, too. :)

I'm in to :D
-
That's a challenge, I have tough love with this expansion, especially with castles and bazaars... but I'd love to score more than 3 points with castle as well... So I'm willing to give it a shot. Oh boy, it's gonna be open season for my ELO points. I definitely need some friendlies before League starts.
MrNumbers, kudos to you for stepping in!

Hi, I'm new here, but not new to Carcassonne.
I would like to join the competition, and get my ass kicked probably. :)

Welcome to the forums and to the party, Piet_Agoras! O0
We had very tough newbies in the past, so I won't count on easy win anyway :)

Plus most of us are useless at bridges.

OK, we are 14 now, nice! I would like to close the gates for new entries at the end of 19.02 (this Sunday). I would be great, if we are 15 or 18 (better, of course, 21 :D), so I could easily divide us into 3 groups. So, don't hesitate and sign up now! :(y) :))
-
You know what, I've been lurking here for far too long and been playing way too little Carc this past year - it ain't my favourite but I'll take what I can get. Count me in.

Cool! Welcome, DeatzoSeol! We are 15 already! :(y) Let's make it another 3! :D

New entries are closed now. I already have distributed players into groups and soon will publish them C:-)

Please don't put me in a group with someone who is good at this expansion!
-
OK, competition is live!
Groups are distributed purely based on current Elo rating (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=3129.msg46916#msg46916). New players are distributed into groups randomly, using random.org (http://random.org) service.
I decided to go P&D League way and name the groups using current expansion's elements: Bridges, Castles and Bazaars :D
Bridges: (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=3184) Merlin_89, Jéré, danisthirty, Rosco, DeatzoSeol.
Castles: (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=3185) Leven, MrNumbers, Adrornalin, Chooselife, thodekey.
Bazaars: (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=3186) khalidqasrawi, jungleboy, TheSteveAllen, Hounk, Piet_Agoras.
