==Round winners==The winner of [[Omgång 99|round 99]] hails from my own home [[region]] [[Region:Uppsala|Uppsala]]: [[Användare:Kygni|Kygni]], he is the fourth member of the exclusive sub-20 age group of [[Turf]] World winners :) He announced his intent the first day of round 99 to [[Region:Uppsala|Uppsala]] [[Turfare|turfers]], and he kept biking all the way, taking [[Greed-350]] during the last weekend. [[Användare:Lejfis|Lejfis]] from [[Region:Örebro|Örebro]] grabbed his first [[Silver medal|silver]] with a will of steel and constant smile accordingly to fellow turfers in his [[region]]. [[Användare:MaXi|MaXi]], another young one, from [[Region:Dalarna|Dalarna]] won his first [[Bronze medal|bronze]] in fierce competition with runner-up [[Användare:snickaren|snickaren]]. Something tells me [[Användare:MaXi|MaXi]] will be back for more of the valuable medals in the future. Well done mates!
==Winner Zones==After winning [[Gold medal|Gold]] in the World or in any of the official [[Turf]] countries ([[Land:Sverige|Sweden]], [[Land:Finland|Finland]], [[Land:Norge|Norway]], [[Land:Danmark|Denmark]], [[Land:Storbritannien|Great Britain]], [[Land:Nederländerna|The Netherlands]] and [[Land:Sydkorea|Korea]]), the winner of round 99 hails from my own home region Uppsala: Kygnigets to place a [[Zon|zone]], a [[Vinnarzon|Winner Zone]], he in that country. It is common that the fourth member zone has the form of a crown or something that defines the turfer who won ([[Användare:simpson|simpson]] has winner zones in the exclusive sub-20 age group form of Turf World winners :) He announced his intent cats or the first day letter of round 99 the [[Turfare|turfer]]). The country list has to Uppsala have at least 30 turferson it, for a [[Country medal]] to be awarded and he kept biking all the way, taking greed-350 during the last weekend. Lejfis from Örebro grabbed his first silver with a will of steel and constant smile accordingly [[Vinnarzon|winner zone]] to fellow turfers in his region. MaXi, another young one, from Dalarna won his first bronze in fierce competition with runner-up snickaren. Something tells me MaXi will be back for more of the valuable medals in the futureallocated. Well done mates!
To date 367 [[Vinnarzon|winner zones]] (WZ) have been placed in official [[Turf]] countries. The top three cities to visit if you collect WZ are: [[Kommun:Oslo|Oslo]] (43), [[Kommun:Mariehamn|Mariehamn]] (40) and [[Kommun:Kampen|Kampen]] (32). In [[Land:Sverige|Sweden]], [[Kommun:Kalmar|Kalmar]] is leading with 13 WZ followed by [[Kommun:Linköping|Linköping]] (11) and [[Kommun:Malmö|Malmö]] (11). At http://lundkvist.com/ (site is only in [[Land:Sverige|Swedish]]) statistics over who has taken most WZ can be found and at this time it is the man behind the site, [[Användare:HappyF|HappyF]], that has most WZ under his belt (144). Two of his favorite [[Vinnarzoner|winner zones]] to visit are [[Zon:ElCamino|ElCamino]] in the Botanical Garden in [[Kommun:Göteborg|Gothenburg]] and [[Zon:WsnurrsHage|WsnurrsHage]] in the Botanical Hage in [[Kommun:Oslo|Oslo]]. Do we see a common denominator here? ;)
Many [[Turfare|turfers]] have celebrated their [[Vinnarzoner|Winner Zones]] not only by being the first to take it, but also with ”bubbles” together with friends. [[Användare:KråkanKrax|KråkanKrax]] is sharing a picture of [[Användare:Tompaj|Tompaj]] and [[Användare:Yoth|Yoth]] when they celebrated her WZ [[Zon:KråkansSång|KråkansSång]]. They took it together, again showing the beauty of Assist :)
[[Region:Åland|Åland]] is the [[Land:Finland|Finnish]] region with most active turfers. They speak Swedish, have a high degree of autonomy from [[Land:Finland|Finland]] in governing itself and consists of a large number of islands with amazing scenery. The [[Turfare|turfers]] in [[Kommun:Mariehamn|Mariehamn]] are very hospitable, something I experienced myself when [[Användare:rozaliona|rozaliona]] invited me over for coffee one evening. They don't have a [[Turf]] club or organized Turf get-togethers yet, but plenty of spontaneous meetings and acitivties.
==A Turf Meeting Story from [[Användare:rozaliona|rozaliona]]==
”This is a picture from Lilla Homen, the central beach in [[Kommun:Mariehamn|Mariehamn]], and beyond the row of birds lies the zone "[[Zon:HolmenBeach|HolmenBeach]]". From that, I personally have a very nice memory of the first turf tourist I met. I had paddled all the way there and picked up the phone to start the app. To my surprise, I saw a turf figure on the beach and when I looked up, I saw a man wading into the water, further and further out, until he began swimming with one arm up in the air. He looked up on the phone from time to time and I did not have the audacity to go and block the zone for him (there was no assist back then... which would've been nice), so I waited until he took the zone. This was my first meeting with the [[Kommun:Stockholm|Stockholm]] turfer [[Användare:LBz|LBz]] :)”

The remaining five regions in [[Land:Finland|Finland]] are easiest to take by car, but trains and buses are another option, although then it is more difficult to bring your own bike. However, most Finnish cities do not have so many zones since there are few/none local turfers. Any ideas how to increase Turf's popularity in [[Land:Finland|Finland]] is highly appreciated by [[Turf Crew|TurfCrew]] :)
My personal favorites among Finnish cities are [[Kommun:Kuopio|Kuopio]], [[Kommun:Uleåborg|Oulo]] and [[Kommun:Rovaniemi|Rovaniemi]]. All three cities are relatively flat and the number of zones are under 1 zone/biked km (in [[Kommun:Kuopio|Kuopio]] it was almost as many zones per km biked as home in [[Kommun:Uppsala|Uppsala]]!). The zone [[Zon:RanuaKirkko|RanuaKirkko]] in [[Region:Lappi|Lappi]] is extra special to me, since that was where me and my partner took the [[Finland Explorer]] medal in August.
For Finnish turfers there is a page in [[Land:Finland|Finnish]] at https://turfgame.fi and don't forget the [[Land:Finland|Finland]] Section in the [https://forum.turfgame.com/ Turf In Forum]. If you have zone suggestions you "burn" a little bit extra for, please start a new topic in the Zones section for Finland and to get the attention of the [[Land:Finland Explorer|Finnish]] [[Zonmakare|zone makers]], so they can pick up on your desire for a new zone :)
This month we look east at three [[Land:Finland|Finnish]] turfers who have answered the quick questions :)
What is the most frustrating thing with [[Turf]]?
Which personal goal are you most satisfied with?
* [[Finland Explorer]]. I travel very little with work and when I go on holiday, it is rare to travel in my home country.
An accessory (not bike) you used to take a zone.?
* Umbrella, the zone was out in water due to high water levels and I had no swim gear with me. Could walk out a bit but it was not enough, so I put the phone in a bag that I stuck on the umbrella, which I then stretched out.
===Turf-nick: [[Användare:KråkanKrax|KråkanKrax]]===
Favorite Zone?
* [[Zon:SleepingBoats|SleepingBoats]]. I can go out in my morning robe and take the zone on the other side of the road when I go to the mailbox to pick up the morning newspaper.
Which medal was the toughest to take?
* The first time I took [[Bronze medal|bronze]]. [[Användare:SJ |SJ]] took [[Silver medal|silver ]] and he was going as the X2000 speed train from [[Kommun:Kiruna|Kiruna]].
Most memorable zone you have taken. Why?
* The church in [[Kommun:Finström |Finström]] ([[Zon:StMikaels|StMikaels]]) when I took [[Greed-300 ]] and had the clock against me. I needed more zones and had "everything" in the center of the city.
===Turf-nick: [[Användare:TortugaVeloz|TortugaVeloz]]===
What made you begin with [[Turf]]?
* It was via a friend. [[Turf ]] got me out instead of sitting at home
Favorite Zone?
* [[Zon:FöriZone|FöriZone]], free ferry over Aura river
A medal you would like to see in the future?
Silver and Bronze in [[Land:Finland|Finland]], we in [[Kommun:Åbo|Turku ]] have no chance of winning [[Gold medal|gold ]] in [[Land:Finland|Finland]].
