I'm Dave Bennett.

And the Champion! Congrats dave. A good very tight tournament with 1st to 10th only seperated by seven or so points out of 120.

Big thanks to Olli (organising) and Janice (keeping us all in line

)

Congratulations to Dave Dave for winning (his first NAF?) tournament and Leon Dave for 2nd. Commisserations to Cuddly Dave for just missing out on 3rd, but after those noxious gas attacks in the last game it's probably on a sportsmanship vote that did you

Great games vs Ged, Barry, Jonathan, Matt, Leon and Dave, though I think I'm going to rename my Dark Elves "Self Harm" after their performances.

Probably the tightest event I've ever seen as well - with so little variation in points it could have been any one from about 8 players!!

p.s. if anyone wants to buy a couple of casino dice I think Wightlord's got some for sale!!!!

Cheers to Ollie for organising and to my opponents Barry, James, Geoff, Brian, Andy and Ken!

Great introduction my first BB tournament (much more fun than WFB

)

Roll on the Waterbowl!!

Thanks for a top weekend, and gratz to Dave on "popping his cherry"

Yes, great weekend and nice to put lots of names to faces. Fireolli and the crew did a great job of hosting and well done Pubbowler who was on table one all of Sunday and held on despite 3 draws!!!

I am looking at the final stats here and it was stupidly tight going into the last game and the top 10 were 8 points apart at the end. Very very close.

NAF stats will be finalised when I get the two new sign ups in so I need the techies to enable that before I can put in the games.

Thanks for that and from the guy who took most points off me (and deserved more than he got).

Very close indeed and a very nice trophy (only slightly damaged from it's trip home isnide a loo roll, glueing is in process).

Imagine I'll be back next yr.
But I won't be staying in the Derby Court Hotel if I do!

After looking through the results this morning there were alot of draws which made it a low points scoring event. The highest score was 118 out 192. Like others have said there were 7 others who could have taken the top prize.

Congrats to Dave with Dwarves. You must have played well, I didn't see as my ogres were way down the tables until the last few games when they got things together.

There will be a Troll Bowl 09 and looking at when i am on leave it will be about the 15ish of November 2009. If anyone knows of any other tourneys already booked then please let me know.

Olli

Any chance of posting the final table?

I'd appreciate a chance to realise how close a shave it was...

Thanks for that, hadn't realised that I played 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 6th.
And all of those were in with a shout going into Game 6.

Tightest tournie I think I've been at.

you jammy bastard

Great game me and thee had mate- loved the banter- well done though (will not be predicting Dice rolls EVER again

).

Great organisation.

Had an absolute shocker against geoff- completely and utterly bottled it (though he did play his normal, annoyingly good self)

Soz out to Andrew and shane who I absolutely decimated with help from some very useful dice.

Jimany out casualtied me with his chavy skavs.

nice small tourney to end my Blood bowl year with- see you all at the shit bowl

Superb event, very well put together and thanks to Olli for running the show and a great final game, and to my other 5 opponents for 5 other amazing games. Also really nice to put some faces to names.

Awww, Geoff thinks I'm cudly!

Thanks for six great games lads, can't believe how close it was in the end, so many of us had a chance... and ballsed it up in the last game!

See you next year!
