Had a fantastic weekend... Couldn't have asked for more out of my first tournament experience! Met some great people and am keen to come to more events in the future! Won one, drew one, lost four, ended up 147th and loved every minute! Special thanks to Heff for being my tournament sherpa... Hope the hangover cleared up!

Corrected that one for you Al. :wink:

Thank you to: Fern, Craig, Spence, Pete, Dave and Magnus for some great games (albeit with disastrous results for me in most of them).

Thank you also to the organisers, it was smoothly coordinated and very well organised. Congratulations on doing it superbly!

I had a great time and failed miserably to say goodbye to everyone before leaving (a mixture of toilet requirement, tiredness, brain melting and wanting to get home to kiss my kids goodnight). Sorry! :oops:

Wonderful time again, thanks to all. to the organisers for running a tight ship, for my opponents for remaining good humoured and to the six guys who came below me in the rankings. Second ever NAFC and dropped a massive 127 places.

Highlights for me were

Drawing with Norse and Humans (I was Gobbos)
Battlepuppies face as I dodged a troll to blitz his carrier and

The ODOUR of Stigs team, that will be with me for a long time.

On behalf of myself and Paul, and our refs Phil and Jim, I'd like to thank everyone who attended this year and made the event such a joy to organise. Big up to yourselves, see you again in 2015! Also thanks to everyone who helped out in any way, that is what makes our community so strong and I hope you realise how much it improves our enjoyment of this hobby.

Much love.
Joe

Our annual showpiece has come and gone once again. Massive congratulations to Sizzler for winning the tournament, only played him once but couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Absolutely great weekend. My tournament was crushed on day one but day two made up for it. Great opponents and games. I'll add my thanks to the pool for all of the organisers, refs, and just generally everyone who came to make it the awesome occasion it was.

Had a great weekend at the NAF Blood Bowl tournament in Nottingham, I didn't play :( / sob ...but hopefully will next year (dates permitting) but I did get in some good games against Jorge at Willy Miniatures both ended up at 1-1 but challenging games.

Thanks to all my customers who purchased minis and games at my stall, I hope you have great success painting and playing with them.

Thanks also to all the organizers and NAF for hosting it was a brilliantly run event and looked like everyone enjoyed it.

Back to work today ... Ho hum...got to be done I guess. :wink:

I had a tremendous weekend! Top marks to Paul and Joe for their organisation, and a huge thanks to all of you for being a pleasure to referee. The generosity of our community never ceases to amaze; I'll echo the boss in thanking everybody that contributed.

Until next time!

An enormous thank you to Joemanji, Geggster and the team for an amazing event. Fantastic attention to detail and a smooth and slick organisational job over the weekend. Classy. Any BB fan would be advised to get themselves to an event like this: a true celebration of Blood Bowl. Thanks too to all of those who travelled so far. And three cheers to the NAF and all involved!

See you all next time. Hopefully the numbers will continue to rise!
