==Open Canoe Turf Event in Kalmar - August 14thWhat about those Minnesota turfers? ==Some [[Land: Sverige|Swedish]] [[Turfare|turfers]] have recently noticed increased activity in the big country to the west, and zones have also been added to the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul. Here's a short input from [[Användare: woody|woody]]:
"Turf play was kick started here in late December with the appearance of the BBC article about [[Kalmar TurfföreningAnvändare: féarglas|Kalmar Turf Associationféarglas]]. Through the cold, winter months the game slowly grew in both the number of players and [[zon]] es. Now spring has organized popular canoe Turf arrived and we have completed four [[Omgång|rounds]] with four different region winners: [[Användare: danmarstp|danmarstp]], [[Användare: hotbike|hotbike]], [[Användare: woody|woody]], and [[eventAnvändare: MNMagik|MNMagik]]s . Other players in contention each round include [[Användare: Hekek|Hekek]], [[2015Användare: fluteswedie|fluteswedie]] and [[2017Användare: kelih|kelih]]. Now it´s time again. On August 14, an open event will be organized with requirment for registration in advance. We compete in pairs with one phone. Canoes and life jackets it is no surprise that they are available for rent for a low pricealso at the top of the region this round. Invitation with registration form is available at At the beginning of the round [[Användare: MNMagik|MNMagik]] told me her goal was to score 250,000 [[wwwPoäng|points]].kalmarturfShe surpassed that and finished near the top 100 in the world rankings.se wwwIt has been fun to watch the number of zones grow, learn game play and explore new areas.kalmarturfIn the coming months we will work to attract more new Turfers.seI also hope to see our first Turf [[event] Welcome!]."
I am sure we will hear don't remember the town, but it was part of a test to see that I understood the ZCT (Zone Creation Tool). Looking at [[Turf Map Tool|urbangeeks map tool]] and see more of these crazy narrowing down the timeline, I think it might have been [[LandKommun:USASollefteå|AmericanSollefteå]] turfers in . (ed. the ZCT has evolved into the future! ZE, Zone Editor, today, but both abbreviations are being used).
Fun fact, that chat still exists but now in Hangouts with some of the original turfers from the old chat.
Today we have a 'zone maker education' with a test, how were you introduced to zone making? Did the zone making tool look and work the same as today? Has the zone making tool undergone any changes, for better or worse?
When I started I got to build five zones or so that were inspected by [[Användare:Drassen|Drassen]], that was pretty much it. The ZCT was a lot more basic back then, the radius around the zones I remember was my idea, that made it a whole lot easier to make sure the distance between the zones were correct. Back then you put the [[Poäng#Övertagningspoäng (TP)|tp ]] and [[Poäng#Poäng per timme (PPH)|pph ]] in manually and there was little or no automation in the [[Poäng|points ]] changing after each [[Omgång|round]]. The zone maker had to decide how much the zone was worth according to the position. I really can't see that anything has actually gotten worse with the ZCT, [[Användare:SunYour|SunYour]] did a great job evolving it into what it is today.
How has zone making changed over the years? I remember from our trip to [[Land:Danmark|Denmark]] a few years ago that the zones often was placed next to a bike path, not on it as we are used to today. When did this shift happen?
Interesting question! I think it was in [[2012]], [[Kommun:Västerås|Västerås]] was quite a ghost town until then but afterwards it exploded with turfers. People from there started complaining about lawns getting muddy, tire tracks from bikes where destroying the grass. I was reluctant to change this at first since we had a policy that the zones should blend into the surrounding, they were literally supposed to be placed on lawns and avoid streets and paths. Eventually I came to the conclusion that this was probably for the best and me and [[Användare:blabert|blabert]] had quite the work to be done, rebuilding zones. I think that for the "turf historian" there is a lot to read about that in the forum.
What has been the most rewarding part over the years with being a zone maker?
I love that I had the chance to contribute to the game, especially at such an early stage. I had the chance to build important and central zones, unlike today where zones already exist in such places. It has become much more difficult to build zones in established countries such as [[Land:Sverige|Sweden]]. It has also been a blast to see the game evolve from competing with two or three people in [[Kommun:Uppsala|Uppsala]] to the hundreds that are active daily. There is so much happening around Turf with (pre-corona) meetups in restaurants and pubs, competitions and also activity in schools.
What is the most important aspect of making a good zone to you?
I would love to see a way for turfers to write a short comment about their zone suggestion (ed. In the Turf app). I would also have loved to see a way to vote on suggestions and perhaps also comment on other turfers' suggestions.
Thank you [[Användare:StarDust|StarDust]] for answering my questions and sharing some of the history of zone making with [[Turf insider]]!
==Turf music by [[Användare:RikerBiker|RikerBiker]]== A few weeks ago the [[Turfare|turfer ]] [[Användare:RikerBiker|RikerBiker]] shared his latest Turf-song, ”My Turf and Territory (zone taken)” on Facebook in the group "Turf - Outdoor addiction". RikerBiker has been producing music since the late 1990s 1990's and has been a turfer since [[2017]]. In his own words:
”Turf is a concept in Hip Hop and Gangsta Rap culture for the area that various groups in mainly the black residential areas in American suburbs rule over. Since the basic concept in Turf is to take over and own as many zones as possible, this was the reason I chose to do a Hip Hop song this time. In [[2019]], I did an RnB song called "Knew we were meant to be" which is really about me and the love for Turf as such and the longing you feel before taking that zone that right now feels unattainable. I have also made the completely hilarious LusseTurf Anthem which is based on existing Christmas music which I put a new music loop on top of and created a completely new dubstep inspired song. This song is partly completely "crazy" but so is also the Lusseturf event so I thought it fit well.”
You can find his Turf songs [https://hearthis.at/groveflow/ HERE]. New Turf music is being produced as I write this, so I hope you will enjoy the tunes, old and new!
==Announcement== [[Användare:Ollalsollals|Ollalsollals]] have officially joined [[Turf Crew]] to support and promote Turf within the Scout community. In [[2022]] a Turf Scout event with over 1000 1,000 participants is planned in [[Land:Sverige|Sweden]].
== Pimp your Zone ==
Lately, at least two zones in [[Kommun: Uppsala|Uppsala]] have been 'pimped' by [[Turfare|turfers ]] with flowers to brighten up the experience for other turfers. [[Användare: Mumsige|Mumsige]] and [[Användare: allinug|allinug]] have planted daffodils in [[Zon: BurgarnEVäck|BurgarnEVäck]] (former ''Burgardoft''), located on a tiny strip of land between two industrial plots in the northern part of [[Kommun: Uppsala|Uppsala]]. [[Användare: MrXzon|MrXzon]] has dedicated time, daffodil bulbs, seeds and water to brighten up his 'home zone' ”[[Zon: Tralala|Tralala]]” in the southern parts of [[Kommun: Uppsala|Uppsala]]. Here's hoping we'll see more of this around!
