We were 8 players, but we decided to play 4 rounds.
Denis claimed his first great victory in an official tournament.
Like last year, the success rate for the scenarios has been very high : 63% (20/32) !
So, maybe the 90 mn rule is no longer necessary, or the hazards strategies should be enhanced by the players ?

Round 1 :
Denis – Stavros…...…..27*/13......11/0
Franck – Thomas ….....29*/24*…...10/5
Vincent – Stéphane .......42*/19*.....11/5
Hervé – Dominique.......26*/18..…. 9/1

Round 2 :
Vincent – Denis……........36*/15*........11/5
Franck – Hervé...............26*/15*…….10/5
Stéphane – Thomas.........22*/22*......…7/6
Dominique – Stavros….....15/13............3/1

Round 3 :
Stavros – Stéphane ........41/8.........…4/0
Thomas – Dominique.....….23*/21....…..9/1
Vincent – Franck............41/31...........3/1
Denis – Hervé ……...........29*/17*.......10/5

Round 4 :
Thomas – Vincent .........24*/20.........9/1
Dominique – Stéphane ...37*/12........10/0
Franck – Denis …….....…..35*/20*.......10/6
Hervé – Stavros....…......13*/13…........6/2

* scenario fulfilled

The final standings :
1°…Denis……..........The Stones of Feanor****...........32
2°…Franck ...............Veins of Arda ***....…............31
3°…Thomas............Heirs of Yavanna ****……….........29
4°…Vincent ......... The Great Greenwood **……..........26
5°…Hervé….....On the Earth, in the Water and in the Air ****........25
6°…Dominique ......... The Shire *...............… ........15
7°…Stéphane P......…Veins of Arda **.......................12
8°…Stavros…….....…The Rohirrim ............….............7

Some minor changes should be made in the rules in the next weeks, after some discussion.

Oh, congrats Denis.
I had tried the Seventh Palantir several times in Hamburg but did not manage to success even once.

Report is wrong about this : Denis' scenario was Stones of Feanor

Here are a couple of tactical tips learnt from Denis during this tournament:
- Start with 23 points worth of characters. You will be able to do more things than opponents who start with 20 pts or less
- Make sure that you draw your wizard and 2 fellowships in your starting hand. This makes it much more difficult for your opponent to kill or corrupt your characters

:D

And I nearly forgot Another important tactical tip: corruption points on your characters does not matter as long as you do not miss a single corruption check in the whole game!

I have made the correction. But "The Seventh Palantir" was written on Denis tournament sheet.

Which means that he did not complete his scenario in any of the 4 rounds, leaving him with 8 Tournament Points only...

He has made a difficult scenario four times, so he have the points !
When I have asked to him "what is your scenario ?", he answered "Palantir", so I have written "7th Palantir", but it was not this scenario...
