Thanks for the information.
Do you know with which expansions the tournament is played?
Only the 72 tiles of the base game or a number of random tiles from different expansions.
Do you know how many meeples each player will have in their supply?
Is there a time limit for each game?
If you do not have the information, it is not so important, I'm just curious, it will be fun anyway.

Hi,
It's only the 72 tiles from the base game, 7 meeples per player (+ scoring meeple).
I think each game last maximum 30 minutes (15 minutes per player).

Little feedback after the tournament:

There were less contestants than last year (60-70 players), but the level was incredibly higher.
Most people playing it as a family game, usually coming for the 4-players games, weren't there, since even the qualification turns were 1vs1 games.

I really enjoyed this new approach of the tournament, and so did many contestants. It gives better opportunities to use strategy over luck, and a more reliable ranking in the end.

It was a crazy day for me: only my second tournament, and I had the opportunity to play against some members of the belgian team and some former belgian champions (online or IRL), and even win against some of them!
I managed to stay unbeaten for the first 4 games, and even reached table 1, meaning that at some point, I was the highest ranked player of the day

I couldn't keep that position for sure, and lost my 2 last qualification games by 1 point both.

This still allowed me to get my place for the quarter-finals, being the only qualified french speaker was a lot of pressure!
Unfortunately, I didn't managed to get any further, and ended up 8th of the final ranking.

I had the opportunity to meet many players, including christokedex and his amazing Carcassonne-shirt (spot him on the pics?

) and even had a word from the champion and vice champion of this year, both telling me I was a particulary hard-to-beat-opponent... really glad to hear it!

Just a few pictures with me in a high state of focus...
