Teaser: ASLF 201? - A tournament in Franconia

[WuWei]

Just a little teaser:

"ASL fun tournament in the land of the Franconians 201?"

 

[WuWei]

This will happen, perhaps even in 2018.

 

[bendizoid]

Good luck Wei !

 

[Mister T]

ASL in Nuremberg. Where it all began.

 

[WuWei]

It will probably be further up north, near the Bavarian-Thuringian border.

 

[WuWei]

ASLF? ASLiF? We haven't even agreed on the name yet.

Our aim:
A tournament for casual gamers. No month long preps. No spending hours on optimizing the last bit of the setup. Just a weekend of informal gaming in a relaxed atmosphere, meeting people and perhaps learning a few new tricks.

 

[Mister T]

For all the alleged shortcomings mentioned in your teaser, existing events have secured a base of recurrent players because tournament players, alles in allem, are a faithful lot.
I wish your public will be as faithful as theirs.

 

[WuWei]

I wouldn't call it "shortcomings". It's a different approach. "Leistungssport" vs. "Breitensport", if you want.

 

[Genosse Gelb]

I do not think the Grenadier Tournament has any shortcomings, except that I consistently cannot make it to there AND that is only once per year!

More ASL, more ASL!

Also, I also have a teaser version graphic:

 

[M.Koch]

Count me in when the date fits...
It needs not to be a tournament format to play solid ASL.
I guess you will attract some German players since it´s a while that there was a second German ASL gathering, the "Westwall".
Really looking forward for the combination of ASL + Bavarian beer and food
If i can give support...just let me know.

 

[WuWei]

Thanks for the offer! We plan to start small so that we can get slowly accustomed to it.

And there even is a brewery 500 m from our planned venue...

 

[tunixx]

I'm in if I can make it. Looking forward to this.

 

[Ganjulama]

And there even is a brewery 500 m from our planned venue...

That's what I call good planning

It will probably be further up north, near the Bavarian-Thuringian border.

Fine to hear of plans of a second ASL-Event in Germany. The Bavarian-Thuringian border would be a awful drive for me, but we'll see.

What kind of accomodation is planned for the event? Would it be inexpensive like for Grenadier or more like a regular hotel?

For our first try, we aim for small and cheap.

I'm not sure that narrows it down a lot in Germany

After we had "Grenabier" last year I am curious what this tournament has to offer.

What is saying is that we had a beer especially brewed for Grenadier Tournament.
