Hi gang!

As promised, it's time for more Online NAF Blood Bowl, and this time we’re going Welsh. The Online Welsh Open will begin in one week on September 12th. Applications are open NOW! The below is as usual if you’ve joined us for an Online NAF tournament before, but just one extra note for you; be sure to use the link provided in this post / the rulespack to make your team, regardless of the timezone you wish to apply to. This means it’ll all work. :)

Online Welsh Open

Our fourth online NAF tournament of 2016 is a partnership with one of the UK’s largest events, the Welsh Open! This rulespack should contain everything you need to know to enter the Online Welsh Open (OWO), and to be in with a chance of winning lovely physical prizes. Mynd Cymru!

The OWO is linked to the Welsh Open, one of the UK’s largest tournaments. Details on the Welsh Open 2017 can be found in this thread. Why not take a trip to the great nation of Wales?

The full rulespack is available here, here and here.

Teams should be created using this link, and coaches wishing to play in European timezones should apply here, North American timezones here, and Oceanic timezones here.

Cheers!

Phil / Goo.

Indeed. That would hopefully have become clear to anyone unfamiliar with these tournaments when the main publicity hits next week, but for now I've amended the thread title.
