Who is responsible for the felt pitches at the bloodbowl. They were awesome!

I really liked the German flag and the green one with the swirly design.

I'd like to buy one, or make one and would like to know how.

Yes I saw these at the GT.

I'm interested in getting one, so I've signed up on the Spanish BB forum to order one. I speak Spanish, so I'll find out if koliriokolapso is happy to ship them to England and the rough cost.

El Wilfo! A man of many talents!

Maybe you should be UK BB's new ambassador to Spain?

(Senior Porritt will fight you for it though ;) )

Make me an offer I can't refuse and I'll be the ambassador. Don't worry about Porritt.

You interested in one of the felt pitches?

Okay ... WAIT ONE SECOND!

Did they use these DURING the event? or after hours?

Because honestly if they were playing on these DURING the BB tournament ... then Impact! is putting our felt pitches back in the store and I'll use the bloody GT as the proof that they are not concerned about their IP as related to a pattern of squares on a flat surface.

Galak,

They were definitely using them during the tournament. One of the Spanish lads was using the pitch on the table next to me in game 4 and I'm sure a ref wandered over and commented on how much they liked the pitch.

In the tournament proper.
Ruling from GW staff was: "you can use custom pitches, but only with your opponents consent".

BUT THEY SELL THEM!!! (and it should be noted for a heck of a lot more than I did). Its not a "custom pitch" if you BUY it!

Okay ... now I need to go punch something and then after I cooled off decide what I'm doing with that information. Bloody GW!

To add to this, this picture shows two custom boards. The one at the bottom is a Thrudbowl pitch that was SOLD at the thrudbowl last year.

Thanks guys ... now I really need to decide what to do with this information because I honestly get an email about every 3 days asking me if we'll ever carry the felt mats ever again.
