[2016][EA][Norrkoping (Sweden)] Epic Euros - 21&22 Mai

Hi
Details have been announced for the 2016 Euros, hopefully we'll see a French team again

Hi guys!

We’d like to welcome you all Norrköping, Sweden on the 21-22 of May 2016 for the EEC 2016!

We will continue to build on the format used by previous two tournaments. It will be a team tournament and each team should have 4 members.

We will be able to arrange for up to 8 teams to come to the event (e.g. 32 players or 16 tables). Games will be arranged between teams so for instance during round 1 all four players in team UK will be matched against the players from team Norway etc. Within the teams players will be matched according to swiss.

Each country’s community decide on how to choose these teams as they see fit as previously. Teams from different countries will have precedence, however a country may bring more than one team if all 8 posistion are not taken by actual countries (a likely event based on attendance previous years). We reserve the right to take the first dual team place for Sweden, if any, with us having the home turf. ;D

Five rounds will be played over two days. Three on the Saturday and two on the Sunday. Each round will be 3 hours maximum, in addition after 2h 30 min a call will go out to mark the time and players are asked to not start any new game turns. A scedule for the event can be seen below.

A players score in each game will be based on the epic-UK tournament scoring system. A teams score is the total of the four players individual score. Each team will recieve a bonus 20 pts to it’s team score if they get more wins in a round then the opposing team (not counting winning draws).

Prices will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, best individual score, and best painting (per popular vote).

Lists used will be the Approved ones in the NetEA tournament pack. One exception is Death Korps of Krieg which will use the developmental list. This list will also hopefully be approved by May and will then replace the one in the pack.

Wheres Norrköping?

Norrköping is located on the east coast of Sweden about 80km south of Stockholm. It's Swedens 10th biggest city .

The venue?

We'll host the EEC at the Primate Lounge which is a big MMA Gym located next to the bus- and train stations. We have 500m2 of space to make use of. Games will be fought on tables standing in a boxing ring and on a wrestling mats with lots of pads and sand bags around for participants to use if the dice gods doesn't favour them...

How do i get there?

Theres both express busses and trains going from Stockholm central station. With the bus it takes 2 hours and with the train 1,5 hours. The venue is a 5-10 minute walk from both the bus station and the train station.

You could also fly with Ryanair which would take you to Stockholm Skavsta airport which is about 45km from Norrköping. From there it's a bus ride of maximum 1 hour to the city.

What will it cost?

The cost is set to 20 Euros per person.

Where to stay?

Theres a couple of alternatives within a 10 min walking distance to the venue:

http://www.centralstationens.se/ (a hostel located on the upper floor of the train station)

http://www.hotelalbatross.se/ ( a hotel located right in between the Norrköping police station and an area with lots of biker clubs and non official after hour clubs)

http://www.marican-hotel.com/default.html (small hostel/hotel right by the Old theather house of Norrköping. Very close to lots of good restaurants)

theres more pricy hotels very close to the venue like Scandic hotel, President hotel and Grand Hotel. Please check them out at a booking site for the best prices and offers.

hi Steve,

I will be delighted to come to compete again for the title of the last team. I need to look closely at the cost of the week end. At the first glance is not going to be cheap that can be an issue.

@frenchy : l'année dernier je m’étais bien amusé (malgré le timing serré hein le copain  ), je referais bien cet Epic euros mais seulement si on est assez pour avoir une équipe de France, histoire d'essayer de faire mieux que dernier.

Après de rapide recherche, il faut compter A/R de  paris en avion entre 80€ (départ vendredi et retour lundi) et 300€ 3000€ (départ vendredi en soirée retour dimanche en soirée) plus environ 30 à 45 euros la nuit à l'hotel. la suède s'est pas donnée.

Qui est intéressé ?

Hello, je suis partant ! Miam !
Bon plutôt pour les 80 €.... mais il faut compter la venue depuis Nantes.
Je sais que Julio est aussi OK !
Evidemment vu les coûts... c'est départ vendredi et retour lundi.
Après, il faut compter que cela n'a pas lieu à Stockholm mais à 80 km de là.
Je suppose donc location de voiture.

Après à voir pour les hôtels / gîtes si ça existe en Suède !
J'ai regardé vite fait, et une chambre quadruple ça vaut dans les 100 euros.
Après, faut manger, boire, bref, vivre !

Mais pour l'instant j'en suis !

Tu es sûr de toi pour le vol à 3000€, c'est pas plutôt 300?

Jet privé, avec des escales aux Seychelles !

Oups 300 pas 3000 faute de frappe donc édition.

Evidemment, je suis plus qu'intéréssé pour laver notre honneur dans ces contrées du nord.

Le problème est que la date de fin mai risque de coincider avec des exams dont je n'ai pas encore les dates précises, mais vu ma chance sur le sujet, je sens bien que cela va tomber soit le vendredi soit le lundi... à suivre donc.

Come on guys, lets meet again in Sweden! Whats the current state?

Allez les gaziers, il faut en être !

Cette année je ne pourrait pas y participer, vu la bonne expérience de l'an dernier, je ne peux que vous inviter à y aller !!!

Bizs !

Je jette donc l'éponge, l'organisation du WARP 2016 sera mon évènement de l'année.
Bon voyage et bonne chance à l'équipe de France !

Je continue a y réfléchir jusqu au 1 mars. Y a t il d autres gens qui y pense en se rasant? Meg? Clem? Julo?

Any progress?
