I am not travelling during that period, so it is very likely I will attend!

Some info translated from Dutch:

The official Dutch Championship Carcassonne in 2016 will take place on March 20 at the Zuiderspel event in Veldhoven.

Everyone plays three rounds with only the basic game. Then the best four players will play two final rounds. The first three rounds are with 3, 4 or 5 players at a table. The final two rounds are duels. The winner will get a cash prize of 150 euro and also will qualify for the World Championship in Essen (Germany) and be granted the right to call himself/herself the Dutch Champion of Carcassonne in 2016.

Participation is free. Participants however will have to pay an entrance fee to the fair of € 6 per person. Advance registration is required. For the first 64 participants who register will have a goodie bag waiting for them at the tournament. There is room for 128 participants. You can register until March 15, and it is very simple: send an email with your name and mobile number to inschrijven@rollthedice.nl

After the tournament, you can still enjoy 2 500 square metres of gaming fun at the fair. If you fancy, you can then play a game.

Date: March 20, 2016
Location: NH Conference Centre Koningshof Locht 117, 5504 RM Veldhoven
Time: The tournament starts at 11:00 and lasts until around 15:00.

You live close? For me it's quite easy to get there: 20 min by train plus another 20 min by bus.

Live nearby Genk, In Belgium. Think it's about an hour-ish.

Don't you travel for free as a student? (or is it just during weekdays?)

Not going well at all... 2 games played: 3rd and 4th. Haha!
That's what I thought.. I have used all my luck yesterday.

Doesn't matter, I'm having fun

Jéré, have fun in the NL Championship.

Jéré · « **Reply #13 on:** March 20, 2016, 05:12:14 AM »

I do, I do!

3rd again. Bah! I knew one day I would completely screw up in those 4-player games. That was a bit expected...

First game, I finished 3rd. First and second shared a huge city and that made the difference.

Second game, I was the third player to start. In a 4-player game, 4th player to start will play one turn less than the other 3 which is a bit unfair imo. Guess what happened? I drew the CCCC tile and couldn't place it anywhere so that meant I had lost a turn... Crap! Rest of the game was also not so good... Finished 4th despite sharing the main field worth 30 pts with another player.

In my last game, there was a player that absolutely refused to share any features so she stole a field and a city from me. Ok fine, but we both sank. She finished last and I, 3rd. She also invested 3 meeples to steal a road from another player. Not a good strategy in a multiplayer game. Anyway, everybody was in a good mood and was joking about it.
