Report Agricola Oslo Open

Agricola Oslo open was a great success. It had 24 participants, 13 from Norway and 11 from outside of Norway (Sweden, Greece, Germany, Netherlands, Great Britain and USA was represented).
The tournament format was that everyone played 6 4-player games against random opponents (a few had to play one opponent twice, since the organisers (aka me and two others) didn't manage to find a perfect setup; luckily a participant solved this for us for next time). Players got 10-6-3-1 tournament points for 1-2-3-4 place. Then everyone played one final game, being divided into groups 1-4, 5-8, 9-12 and so on. One brings the score with oneself into the final, but the final counted as 1.25 times a regular game.
The tournament was won by Lumin Sperling. Congratulations from the organizers! It was a very close race to the very end, between him and myself ( I ended 2nd). More reports from some of the games will be posted online subsequently.
Friday night we were at the pubrestaurant Asylet in Oslo city centre. Friendly company, good games, plus beer and traditional Norwegian food made sure the atmosphere was very nice. Saturday and Sunday the tournament was at the ordinary gaming place of the board game club Ares. As far as the organizers can tell everyone had a geat time; after the games on Saturday, which finished about 18-19, most of the participants stayed on and played more Agricola throughout the evening.
This was so much fun that we are planning to do this again next year. Everyone is welcome to come! Probably it will be in September 2020 in Oslo city centre. It will be announced at agricola.no, as well as on this (and similar) forums.
Here is a picture of all the participants:

Here is a picture of the organisers/finalists (there were 3 organizers and 4 finalists, hence the enlightened reader can deduce that two of the ogranizers were in the final).
