Bodø ASL Open
Friday 24th of January – Sunday 26th of January 2020.
We would like to invite all interested players to the first ASL tournament in Bodø. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodø)
Bodø is a small city in Norway with about 50.000 inhabitants. The city lies on the coast, at 67 degrees North, just north of the polar circle. In late January there is a fair chance of Northern Lights, and we are gradually recovering from winter darkness. The light and colours at this time of year might be spectacular. Or it might be a blizzard. One never knows… (https://www.visitnorway.com/places-to-go/northern-norway/bodo/northern-lights/)
The venue will be at the Nord University (https://www.nord.no/en)
In Bodø we have a stable ASL community and we are hosting regular face to face games, usually with two or three games played.
Tournament:
Currently we are planning for a 3-round swiss-style tournament with room for up to eight players. We play one round Friday afternoon, two rounds Saturday.
If more than eight are attending, we will look at increasing to four rounds with a round on Sunday. If just four players, we will play two rounds with a big Saturday scenario.
Scenarios are not decided yet. They will be posted sometime in December.
For visiting players:
Bodø is basically a big airport with a city around it. The airport is served by all three domestic airlines (Norwegian, SAS, Widerøe), with usually good international connections through Oslo Airport. Wizz Air also has a bi-weekly cheap direct service to/from Gdansk in Poland.
As far as possible we will try accommodate visiting players privately. We will arrange all necessary transportation within the city during the event.
There is also a possibility of renting a self-service room on the University campus for a reasonable price.
If anyone wants to arrive sooner, we will happily arrange friendly ASL-playing on Thursday and Friday before the tournament starts.
Or one can arrive sooner and be a tourist instead. Mostly known as the gateway to the Lofoten Islands, Bodø is an attraction in itself - a bustling city within beautiful surroundings. For the historically interested we have the national aviation museum located in Bodø (https://www.norwegianaviationmuseum.com/).
Please show your interest in attending by writing me an email: nilskb(a)gmail(dot)com.
