Bodø ASL Open

The prizes for the CC-2021 have been produced in Mario Aceto’s workshop:

The champion Tron Ljødal is awarded a specially designed dice tower. I have two similar dice towers myself and are very happy with them. The prize is in the mail!

Mario also sponsored the price for Fair Play/Nice opponent, a very nice dice cup/tray. It is awarded to Mikko Lukkari, a worthy winner among many good nominations from the participants. Thanks Mario, and hope to see many of your towers in the next tournament I attend!

We are once again providing a friendly, invitational VASL* tournament for the Bodø ASL group and friends in these virtual times. We were very happy with the participation for the first edition, and the players were unanimously positive about the tournament and opponents. In this edition, we have taken some of the feedback into account in the scenario selection.

To provide for a 1st price, this time we will collect a tournament fee of NOK 50/EUR 5/USD 5 from each player.

The tournament is a Swiss style setup with no player elimination, 4 rounds, with one month to play each round during winter-spring 2020. (It is possible to skip rounds or leave the tournament, please just let the CinC know.)

If you want to participate, please contact Øyvind by January 10, 2021. Please state whether you are up for a PTO scenario in round 2, or if you rather would want to play an ETO scenario in round 2.

Round 2: 15. feb – 12. mar
