20th ANNIVERSARY - SCANDINAVIAN OPEN 2017 (February 22-26)

[bo_siemsen]

The preparations for the 2017 Edition of the Scandinavian Open are well under way. It will be our 20th anniversary. 20 years and still going strong. The tournament will again be held at Danhostel Amager, the location that has served us so well in recent years.

We will continue the extended format that we introduced in 2016. The Tournament will once again be a 5 day event with Friendly gaming Wednesday and Thursday and the classic 5 round ASO main tournament starting friday running through sunday. There will also be mini tournaments saturday and sunday.

The friendly gaming Wednesday and Thursday will take place at the same venue as the main tournament, so you can see it as a chance to warm up for the main tournament or just a chance to play some new opponents in a friendly atmosphere. We will also set up a mini tournament on thursday for those yearning for more competitive gaming.

We have been able to negotiate a very good price with our Tournament Venue:
(Exact prices to be confirmed, but expected to be along these lines again)

Wednesday through Sunday (Full monty) - 275 Euros
Thursday through Sunday - 250 Euros
Friday through Sunday (Main ASO Tournament) - 190 Euros

These price covers the Tournament fee, linnen and towels (10 Euros) as well as breakfast, lunch and dinners for the duration of your stay. In addition you will have to pay for a room to sleep in. The cost of that depends on how many you are willing to share a room with (rooms include shower and bathroom).

1-person room, Approximately 70 Euros per night per person
2-person room, Approximately 38 Euros per night per person
3-person room, Approximately 30 Euros per night per person
4-person room, Approximately 27 Euros per night per person

Contact Michael Hastrup-Leth (hastrupleth@gmail.com) for registration and a specific price for your stay.


Updates with regards to registered players, scenarios, ABS etc. will be made available on our website leading up to the tournament. Updates will be announced in the Gamesquad forums in this thread.

A couple off mistakes:

"Riding to the Rescue" is J161 and "Assault on Baerendorf" is J173

Are you doing (or thinking of doing) PBS for Scenarios?

 

[Mister T]

Are you doing (or thinking of doing) PBS for Scenarios?

ABS would be sufficient if tournament scenarios are balanced or slightly imbalanced, which is usually the case for Copenhagen picks.

 

[Jacometti]

an excellent scenario list, as usual. Well done guys.

It is a pity the Boko Haram crisis will keep me tied down in North East Nigeria....otherwise I would try to head out there.

Hiya

http://asl-so.dk/ seems totally empty on 2017 information. Even tough scnearios have been defined above. Website crash or normal life hindrances?

It has been slow updating this year for sure. The information just hasn't been finalized as much as in past years. The only thing I would have been able to post at this time would be the scenarios for rounds 1-3 ... and they are already here so I haven't felt the urgent need to do so. A bit lazy I suppose. We have been a bit behind with preparations this year.

Hopefully in the next few days the scenarios for Round 5 will be finalized and I will get the current list of registered players from michael and I will do some updates.
