Waterbowl Weekender 2009 - February 21/22 - SOLD OUT

[littlejonnyfrostbite]

Cheers to Geoff and Alex for putting on an excellent tournament, also thanks to my opponents for 6 great games!

Got some strange looks on the train home as I tucked in my 'Least Dangerous' chocolate princess

Will you posting the results as I had to sneak off early?

On a side note my club will be hosting a small 1 day 3 game tournament on the 15th March at Terra Nova School, Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. I'll post full details tomorrow.

3rd from bottom! Once again I didn't come last!

Cheers to Geoff and Alex for hosting a fantastic tourney.

Cheers to all my opponents for some fantastic games.

And finally thanks to the couple of you who listened to my whining about only drawing game 5 due to a failed catch


That's it for me with Goblins in tourneys for now. I just don't think they're good enough for a tourney environment, especially with the boosts Halfings have got for the experimental rules.

Though I must admit, it was nice (on some level) to be the only coach crazy enough to take Goblins!

Cheers Alex and Geoff and everybody I played, much fun.

[Grumbledook]

congrats on all you being unable to post who won or anything ;o

[hoomin_erra]

Well if you can't be arsed to come to the tourney..............

[Pipey]

Alex and Geoff – thanks for another great event. Great to see you all, had another top weekend.

Well done Joe. Great win, and an early favourite for this year’s Watermonkey (though Stick and Gav aren’t far behind).

NAF rankings will be in asap.

See you all at the Monkey…

thought i might have made the top 6 with a 4-2-0 record, perhaps i need to try and score more than 1 td a game , had a great weekend some very good games and 1 very odd one. Thanks to the organiser for making the waterbowl as good as ever.

[Wightlord]

Shane - Aww, did your plan for your friend "in need" not work out last night!

[Sizzler]

I had a great time. Thanks Al and Geoff. 49th out of 54 was quite a disappointing showing.

I very much regret not taking any guard on my Chaos Dwarfs, but was very happy with the leaping minotaur. He had a 100% success rate throughout the tournament. Although on blocking he was rubbish.

Big thanks to my opponents for the great games. To Tritex for killing my Bull Centaur with a fireball, to Mamapepe for all the luck, to Fluffy for the laughs, to Andrew for teaching me that any cage can be broken, to Barney for lending me the Flame dice and to Barnacles for making a mockery of my defence with Grotty.

Roll on next year.

[Thadrin]

Next year. I've promised myself already. Next year.

[Tritex]

Cheers guys great tornament and a lot of fun. My humans ended up the day 1 Win/ 4 Draw/ 1 Loss but more importantly my wizard caused 4 casualties including a Bull centaur, Elf, Thrall, Vampire and helped me score 3-4 TD's - FLAME ON

Cya at Monkeybowl

[PubBowler]

Had to rush off so thanks to all who helped with the organisation and my opponents.

Now I get to add Orcs to the the list of teams I am average with...

[Podfrey]

A massive thank you to all of you who continue to make the Waterbowl such a highlight in the year. I was just blown away to see how many people turned up again this year and if I needed a reminder of how friendly this event is it came in the form of seeing 50 Blood Bowlers (of 54! ) tucking in to a sit down curry on Saturday night. It's also great to see the international flavour continue in the form of Butcher and Raykieboy making the trip all the way from Berlin, Duke Jan and Mepmuff from the Netherlands, Lauth81 and Grotuk from Dublin and Leipziger from the depths of Jilly's Rockworld at 4am....
