Re: Medieval Market

The market is in an old Danish town founded in Viking Age.
I have considered to hand write the rules, they would be rather short.
Rumour says that the Queen's sister will take part in one event there.

Medieval Market

I have a problem. In a month I take part in a Medieval Market. It's a very authentic event, we're perhaps about 200 participants wearing authentic medieval clothes and to that about 10,000 guests. We are 7 people who get a corner for presenting Medieval board games, and I bring the Hnefatafl. Board ...

Re: Hnefatafl Internet Championship

The Single-Elimination format test has till now resulted in a final between Draganov, Dimetr and Asther-Kane, which is very reasonable. For World Championship use, however, it is rather clear that coincidence might become a too big factor by Single-Elimination. Some time it could be interesting to t...

Re: Hnefatafl Internet Championship

Copied from the small forum Feb. 2022: sqAree: I just wanna mention that "shortest game length" is a terrible criteria to decide draws (or anything at all, in the first place).

Re: Hnefatafl Internet Championship

Inspired from the current Single Elimination tournament test, I had another look at the similar Double Elimination used in the Copenh. World Champ. tourn. 2021. The Copenh. World Champ. tourn. 2021 was a big tournament with 21 players. Many players were of equal strength, and therefore there were v...
