RumaQ triumphs at the opening round of Norlandsserien

The opening round of Norlandsserien was held in Piteå, Sweden. The tournament was organized for the second year running, and this time RumaQ made their abroad debut.

16 teams from Northern Norway and Sweden, plus RumaQ, took part in the opening round of the series.

The first day matches for RumaQ were all but a failure, and after the opening round matches on Saturday and Sunday they were placed on the sixth place in amateurs before the semi-finals.

RumaQ’s game in the semi-finals improved greatly, and they took the flag in every game, resulting in the first place in their group, plus a place in the finals.

The finals were tough, and every team was playing a lot more accurate game than in the semi-finals. The amateur winner wasn’t clear until after the last game, in which RumaQ managed to flag the Norwegian FUBAR’s 2nd team, and also succeeded to stretch a four-point gap to the second-placed All FUBAR.
