On January 31, the Bertsolaris Championship was kicked off by teams from Nafarroa Oinez 2020 and October 17 is over at the final held in the Lizarra Ikastola room. In the meantime, ten months and almost seven months of interruption have passed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the end, the final of the tournament has been contested by teams, with all the health prevention measures implemented and with the capacity limited to 100 people. Organised by Nafarroako Bertsozale Elkartea in collaboration with Lizarra Ikastola and Nafarroa Oinez, the session was attended by the Bertso Eskola de Estella and the City Hall of Estella.
The program starts with first hour greetings in the morning in the Multibox room. Accompanied by the music, the groups have used the farewell for the presentation of the work. After that, the Real Sociedad has opted for the office of the Real Sociedad. In the big zortziko, Aitor Elexpuru and Iker Gorosterrazu have sung, as the next day the Nafarroa Oinez in Estella should be celebrated, the first with concern, and the second with total oblivion. In the smaller zortziko, Alazne Untxalo and Aitzol Eizmendi have faced two viruses, one common flu and one coronavirus. In the sixth short, Julen Zelaieta and Miel Mari Elosegi have sung "Luze", on the occasion of the Radar Covid-19 application, which investigates the contacts of the bertsolaris.
They then responded to three points: Iker Gorosterrazu, Xabat Illarregi and Patxi Castillo. Later, Julen Zelaieta, Alazne Untxalo and Miel Mari Elosegi "Luze" have sung a bertso to the hot bag, to the hat of the parties and to the Korrika's peto. Then, in the coplas exercise, Egoitz Gorosterrazu, Ekhiñe Zapiain and Ane Intxausti have exercised in singing. Through an anonymous app, all three of them have stopped to commit a sexual triple, and when they've appeared, they've realized they're childhood partners.
In the game "one, two, three", the members of the three groups have been two in two, adding as many words as possible in a tone of habanera to the list given by the author. The Lamixene have had to pick up the types of trees, the utensils of the house the Bertsonaut and the colors the Atekaberts Six. Alazne Untxalo, Xabat Illarregi and Patxi Castillo were then held alone.
In the trio of trades, the fear, illusion and awe of a newborn baby have been, respectively, Miel Mari Elosegi "Luze", Ekhiñe Zapiain and Egoitz Gorosterrazu. Then, and in conclusion to the punctuable session, the three teams have moved by points in the scoreboard. The Lamixene group, for its part, has chanted the heavy amateurs who have to watch the concert sitting because of the health measures. Bertsonauts have been volunteers called for a round of recognition of a crime they have described as "offenders." Finally, the members of the Atekaberts Advijs group have approached the role of the neighbours who have been locked up in the elevator.
Once all the qualifying exercises have been completed, the name of the winning team has been communicated. So, the Bertsonautak team has been proclaimed champion of the Royal Bardenas of 2020. The awards have been given by representatives of the Bertso Eskola de Estella and the Navarra Association of Bertsolaris. After them, the programme has ended with the last greetings of all the bertsolaris who have participated in it.
