Totally made up to win the GT. Thanks for all the comments.

I know it's a cliche, but I really had six terrific opponents - well five, I played Seb (Quermitt) in Round 5 and again in Round 6. Genuinely nice guys, one and all.

My Woodies were 2 Wardancers, 3 Catchers, Thrower, 5 Linos, one reroll. Skills were leader (T), stripball (WD), tackle (WD), surehands (C) and block (C).

Played Elves (3-0), Necros from Sweden (2-1), Humans (4-1), Joemanji's Undead (2-1 after a brain-freeze that could and perhaps should have cost me that one), Seb's Lizzies (2-2 in crazy game) then again Seb in the final and won 2-1 - key moment being a second half strip ball that landed on a catcher of mine that made the 5up and headed off with it for 2-0). Dead unlucky on Seb, of course.

Congrats to Geoff for winning the Warhammer Cup and regaining the NAF number one (by a long way!)

Stat fact - in the eight years of the Bloodbowl - there have been eight different races win it!

Well done Paul.

Interesting fact about the eight races winning it.

Again well done Paul, and also Geoff, and thanks a bunch to the six people I played. I didn't have one un-fun game: Jim, Ivn, Grant, Jason, Richard and James.

It was a great weekend and roll on next year.

Heading off the inevitable...

No, the NAF results won't be up tonight, as I'm still waiting for Matt (or Andy) to send me the excel file they used so I can pass it on to Lycos, and neither Matt nor Andy is working today.

So...next year..

Items to remember;

A PC that doesn't crash
More than one organiser that has a clue about BB
A "Standard" stand-in team(s) for player drop outs
Ceremonial hanging of Lawyers
STUNTY CUP (Felt sorry for ..I think Jamie?...the organiser who had to say no because," his bosses, boss etc"...switched off at that point )
An announcement system that doesn't sound like St Pancras Station at rush our....Could have sworn at one point they were announcing a departure from platform 5! Shouting seemed to work better!
Banning Shaniepoo for being Shaniepoo...goes without saying really!
Reminding me not to take Shaniepoo's advice that the "Bugmans" beer was better than the "Dreadnought"....Damn that man and his one taste bud!
Enforcing dice cups...I didn't play but saw lots of dice sliding...unintentional....we have enough problems with Nuffle Ithankyouverymuch!
A copy of the LRB Crap on hand................ [WINK - WINK - NUDGE - NUDGE]

Did I mention hanging the lawyers as a starting ceremony?!!

Well, just just back from my 3 day golf tournament and I am delighted to see Paul win and Geoff get back to #1. And well done to so many others I know well (looking at Joemanji's post).

I am curious, as you can imagine, to get info on how the event went. I have spent a ridiculous amount of time and effort on sorting out issues with legal lately and I would love to get some community feedback - please PM, I dont want rants, just please give me some honest opinion that I can use and work with. Many of you know my number, by all means call.

Re results: I am going to speak to Pippy tonight re sign ups/renewals. Tuesday I will speak direct to GW myself and get the spreadsheet so I can work on results. It's always a big job this one but I have deliberately left some evenings free this week for it (Wed/Thur).

Well done to the Golden Egg! And Porritt too, nice one baldy.

Results to be done asap as DD says, it is quite a bit of work so may take a few days.

Well done Geggster on winning the GT and congrats to Podfrey for regaining his World Number 1 position.


@ Sann (see below) Missed that about sending PMs.

Edited so that the rest of this post deleted and PM sent.

He said to PM!

But I agree, and that is almost enough to make me not go next year - it was irritating that EVERY match on my second day was originally against a player I played previously. Will send you a PM Lycos.

Back on the original topic, can anyone tell me who won most cas and how many they did?

Cheers

Chris

Also, well done Paul! and thanks to the all my opponents. I had 6 fun games and almost enjoyed lossing one of them!!!

Most cas was Simon Fisher - 27 with Ogres.

Can someone tell me where I placed please? Sadly I had to leave at 6 as I had a train to catch so was only able to stay long enough to collect the best painted nomination certificate.

Name: Ross Leckie
Team: Lizardmen
Team Name: White Isle Fire Lizards.
Result: 4/1/1

Was very chuffed to end up on table 3 for the last game and had I won that I'd have been in the running for The Warhammer World League Cup. Sadly i faced off against Podfrey's Amazons but thanks to a very lucky Saurus dodge, ball scatter, and 5+ pick up TD i was in the game right up to the end.

Was a very fun tournament and the food was much better than the last 2 years, I hope to be able to attend a few more TT tourneys such as the Star Bowl and maybe some of the smaller ones near me.

You came 10th, Ross.

For those that haven't already noticed and/or worked it out, a couple of errors on the hard copy results sheet.

1. Anyone with points deductions has the deduction shown, but it's not been taken off their overall score.
2. It's been sorted on the wrong column - the print-out has used Cas then TDs as the tiebreak, not the other way round. Hopefully when (if!) they do post the results online, it will be in the correct order.

So spubbbba, you were 14th.
