Sunday, September 29, 2024 9:00 PM (CEST).Registration deadline: September 22, 2024
Numbers of spots :
32 40FREE - you don't need a premium account to participate
The tournament will take place on the BGA gaming platform: BoardGameArena:
https://boardgamearena.com/Danisthirty made a "quick" overview of BGA to help newer players feel more comfortable with the environment:
And a video of gameplay :
I recommend playing on a computer and not on a phone/tablet, unless you are already familiar to playing on these devices. Personally, I find it much more practical to play on a computer because there is too much risk of error in placing meeples/tiles on mobile devices.
I now invite you to create an account (free) and familiarize yourself with the site (which is very well done!).
You can play Carcassonne for free (by joining a game) or by creating game tables (requires the premium version at 5 euros per month or 36 euros per year).
Carcassonne game format will be the same as officials tournaments :
• Mode: Normal mode
• Game Speed: Real-time
• Number of players per game: 2
• Time per player : 15 minutes (so max 30 min per game) : please see the "clock rules"
•
No expansions• Field scoring: Each field is worth 3 points per adjacent completed city (International rules)
• Completed 2-tile cities: 4 points (International rules)
The competition will be split into
two distinct stages:• The first stage will be the "group stage".
• The second stage will be the "knock-out stage".
Only 16 players will advance from the group stage to the knock-out stage.
In the group stage, all players will be organized into one of four groups (8 groups of
4 5 :
32 participants 40 participants). Within each group, each player will play a single game against every other player in the same group and will have a score calculated based on the number of wins, draws or losses they achieve.
At the end of the group stage, the 2 top players from each group will go through to the knock-out stage.
Clock rules : If a player runs out of time (i.e. exceeds the allowed time) during any game, he will automatically lose the game. The win for that game will be awarded to the opponent.
This is a situation we dont want to go because i will have to stop the tournament and make a new one with other players, group by group or player by player for the knock-out stage.
Please be carreful.Prizes:Everyone who takes part will receive a specially-designed Carcassonne Central World Cup souvenir tile.
The winner of the contest will win a trophy an unofficially game of Carcassonne :
Abstractssonne (printed directly on cundco blank tiles / handmade box : see following post). More info of this game in my instagram account :
