After 7 hours of bus came to Madrid to play the national championship.
I hope to have a good experience and have the opportunity to play my first time live .
I have commanded a detailed report and some photos .

¡¡¡Suerte!!!
Go there to have fun, the rest will come by itself. That's my advice.
I'll wait for the report. :)

Hi jma03,
how was your day at the national championship in Spain?
-
It was a pleasant experience.
the downside was that my phone was broken.
First I have to say , that surprised me the organization and the site where the tournament was played (for good)
There were many participants ( 129 ) because the nationally ranked could bring companions to play the tournament. (in my opinion that gave the tournament a little inequality when playing games ) .but I loved it because I saw that it would be very competitive.
In the morning, 3 games of 4 players played .
Swiss system and the top 16 ranked passed to the final round.
*In my first game I got the 2nd position only one point of 1 rated .
I made a good start always keeping your head , with a considerable margin of points to win .
but inexplicably a player made two moves final that never understand , sending me to the second position (
in fact stay 4 ranked by these movements).
*My second game was not so good , I got a 3.
It was a very aggressive game where little had to do.
*
My third game i was the winner.
It was a very interesting game because one of the players needed to win to qualify for the final .
He tried very well, but I use 6 of 7 meeples to take the main estate (24 points ).
I could not do capture the last two games because my phone no longer worked well.
Left 34 of 129 players , so it does not qualify me for the final round.
Even so happy I made games , the good atmosphere of the tournament and gifts expansions carcassonne in the lotery.
I hope to repeat this experience next year.

Haha, that is so spanish. Bring your friends along! It going to be super crowded but whatever! :(y):D

Argh! I hate when a player does random moves in a multiplayer game... It happened to me also during the Dutch Championship: That person probably realised that it was impossible to win so why not try to drag someone to the bottom too.. >:(
There is something I did not understand. I thought you had win a regional qualifier (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=2443.0) (???) Why did you have to go through another 4-player game stage? Was the regional qualifier too small (too few participants) to grant you a spot in the National final (where you would play only 1vs1 matches)?
