To make live the format, some discussions are underway in the French community. We plan to make an international version of the rules, with the formalization of the new point system, clarifications, minor changes of the rules, and maybe new scenarios….

It's good to hear, that you are still playing the Hamburg Scenario Tournament.

As the number of players in Hamburg decreases and we haven't played it more than twice last year, we should rename the format to "French Scenario Tournament"
So I think we should hand the rules over to you and let you decide about further updates on the rules, at least you added the rules for the one-event tournament points very successfully.

Thanks for all,

We only play twice a year, at Lure and at Grey Havens Tournament.
As the rules will be the same at 90/95%, the name of the format will be still the "Hamburger Scenario Tournament".
And we still need your long-time experience of the format...

The very high rate of scenario fulfilled is mostly due to length of game.
We indeed play 90 minutes instead of 80 minutes.

We experienced these more 10 minutes length, because players were disappointed they often would have fulfilled scenario with one more turn.
