The Champion of Anticamente 2011 is…
Drum roll!
Marco Gasbarri
Yes, the ex Italian Champion in 2010 of DBA and Song of Drums & shakos, this year becomes the champion of Anticamente, so we salute Moscarelli Massimo (Italian Champion 2010) and applaud to the new champion.

But in the finals were as many as 10 finalists, then we also look at the overall ranking:
| Posizione | Giocatore | Punteggio | Vittorie |
| 1 | Gasbarri Marco | 130 | 3 |
| 2 | Passatempi Fabrizio | 116 | 2 |
| 3 | Salini Alessandro | 111 | 2 |
| 4 | Casagrande David | 71 | 1 |
| 5 | Solcia Jacopo | 68 | 1 |
| 6 | Blasi Paolo | 64 | 1 |
| 7 | Serattini Roberto | 60 | 2 |
| 8 | Carnaghi Ambrogio | 53 | 1 |
| 9 | Morisi Filippo | 42 | 0 |
| 10 | Colombarini Marcello | 32 | 1 |
A great match played by wonderful players. Despite the smiles and kindness among the contenders, one could imagine even before they started the games that the tension was high and everyone wanted to be well prepared. There were those who went over the rules and check out the army list

There were those who took notes for the future

There were those who compared their strategies

Then they pass to the matches and even faster armies have already placed





The morning ends with lunch on the final base crescentine fries, tigelle, salami, pickles, squacquerone and cake, all watered by red wine
. In fact red wine is fundamental as Pre-tactical, an opponent in a drunken alcohol is easier to beat




After coffee, the fighting take over.


















And finally we come to the awards. Although in the final is decree only one winner, namely the Champion, a souvenir that will add to a good memory does not fail, so even a good bottle of Merlot in conjunction with a flute of spumante can cheer a miss victory





Report of the tournament
At the end of the first game we found Gasbarri and Blasi to equal points 52 pts, followed by Salini to 49 pts, then Passatempi to 44 pts, Carnaghi to 33 pts , Solcia to 19 pts and then all others to 0 pts. Probably as a result of some rust for some, a littleof avidity of points for other, the first round leaves on the ground 4 players to 0 points. These results definitely penalize some recover of this half of the players.
In the second game, Salini and Casagrande are the matadors of the turn, leaving their opponents to 0 points. Now the players are relaxed and have taken lucidity. Better loose but bring at home some points, than do not stay at 0. For the first time during the 2011 Championship Gasbarri is stopped. A fantastic Blasi not accept the KO and gives only a few points to his opponent. I remind you that Gasbarri came from 7 consecutive battles won by KO of the opponent. At this point Salini with two wins by KO moves at the top with 99 pts, followed by a still incredulous Gasbarri with 92 pts, then a sly Passatempi with 68 pts, a proud Blasi with 64 pts, followed by Casagrande 48 pts, Solcia 43 pts, Carnaghi 33 pts, Serattini29 pts, Morisi 22 pts, and finally a desolate Colombarini with 0 pts.
Here comes the third game, the more difficult. The Generals are beginning to be tired and the tension is high, several players can still compete for the win and the award of the title. The games begin slowly to a close, the last is really the most crucial and disputed between Gasbarri Salini. No one has dropped this turn, only one casual knockout of a tried Blasi against a tenacious Passatempi who was fighting for the title and for a few points nearly mocking the title. Despite the tension and fatigue the nicest battle that I seen was in the last round where Morisi suffered the “Colombarini show”. Morisi distracted allowed Marcello to bring home the points for the flag, however, proving to be also in the final on merit and not just for luck.
Exhausted players now expect the final ruling, which will award the title this year to the player has actually proved to be the best. For me and I think by all, well done Marco
