The Carcassonne National Grand Tournament

Exclusively on Saturday 10 September

Take on your opponents in the national tournament

In addition to offering dozens of board games, Club Grabuge organizes, thanks to our partner Asmodée, the French Championship in Carcassonne!

The tournament will be played in five Swiss rounds followed by a top 8 knockout round. The basic game will be used here with no extensions or rivers. The players will have 15 minutes each of total playing time to complete their game, measured by clocks. If one of the two players has no more time available, he/she loses the game immediately.

The tie-breaking calculation used will be the Solkoff method, as in chess, by eliminating the worst result among each player’s opponents.
