Agricola Weltmeisterschaft 2011

Dies ist die Start­seite zur Agricola-Weltmeisterschaft 2011 am 19.November 2011 im Rah­men des Spie­le­fests in Wien (A).

The tour­na­ment takes place on Satur­day, 19^th Novem­ber during the Spie­le­fest Event in the Aus­tria Cen­ter Vienna.
Par­ti­ci­pants get a free pass for the show.
Please regis­ter at the desk bet­ween 8:45 and 9:15 on Satur­day morning. The tour­na­ment will start at 9:30.
Three rounds will be played. In the first round, the par­ti­ci­pants will be sea­ted by ran­dom, but we’ll try to make sure that no 2 play­ers from the same coun­try sit on the same table. For the fur­ther rounds, Swiss for­mat will be used: Play­ers will be sor­ted and sea­ted by score.
We will use a brand new 115 card deck (divi­ded into 5 mini decks of 23 cards), the so-called „Welt­meis­ter­schafts­deck“. Cards will be avail­able both in English and Ger­man. Game­boards, Round cards and Major Impro­ve­ment cards will be in Ger­man (but I’m sure that every player qua­li­fy­ing for a World Cham­pi­onship knows them by heart).
The first round will have the for­mat „Dis­card down to 7″. Each player will get one mini deck of 23 cards depen­ding on the sea­ting posi­tion at the table. There will be 2 dif­fe­rent scores in this round:
* A player scores points for her/his rank at the table
* A player scores addi­tio­nal points for his/her score in com­pa­ri­son to the other play­ers play­ing with the same deck.
The second and third round will be played in dif­fe­rent draft for­mats: Round 2 will be a Roches­ter Draft, Round 3 pro­bably a Boos­ter Draft.
