You’ve spelled our team name incorrectly, it should be The Louping Loons.

Louping is Scots for Leaping and Loon is Doric (Aberdonian dialect) for Lads.
Apologies, amended
Cheers :)

Just in case you want to reconsider, the Urban Dictionary translates:

Louping as "To poop one's pants and leave the offending pooped item in plain sight due to sheer laziness."
Loons as "A Psychotic person. Short for lunatic."

Hi everyone!

One month into registration and so far 82 players are registered for the Eurobowl and Europen!

So far the Eurobowl is going to be a Celt off between Wales and Scotland (Scots lads please note I said Celt off not Kilt off!)

As a reminder registration closes on Sunday 27th May and all teams must have all players submitted by then to be included

Time to show you some treats!

In addition to producing the outstanding trophies we showcased last month, Whitefoot 3D have made these great tokens you can see below

Every player will receive tokens for 2 rerolls, a leader token, turn marker, score counter, an apothecary, a bribe and fame

I’ll be taking a set to Bubba Bowl in Bristol on 3rd March (spaces still available, see TFF for more details) so if you’re there you can see them for yourselves

Tokens look nice!

At least one team from the Munich area is definitely going to be showing up; possibly two (we're still figuring out who can make it or not. Tiebreaker goes to whoever can pronounce "Hoffwn i beint arall" but so far nobody can.

Is it possible to buy extra reroll tokens? Slann are on the short list ;)

Whitefoot 3D who produced the tokens are planning on having a trade stand at the tournament and I’m sure will have spare tokens and all kinds of goodies for sale

Just to be sure: The schedule in the rules pack only covers saturday and sunday. So there is nothing scheduled for friday? e.g. the first round draw like it was done in sweden.

I'm asking because most flight connections we are looking at arrive rather late on the friday.

That’s correct no formal meeting or get together. We’re hoping on some informal meetings in a local bar and are planning some social events but nothing mandatory

I was going to tell you where the Scottish lads have booked but apparently I'm not allowed to view that part of the site, is this another instance of UK = England in some eyes :o :lol:

Anyway, don't really matter just wanted to check that it wasn't a typo or something.
It’s due on the 28th May and would be great (although quite a task to sort through) if everyone paid on that day. Although payments are due and will be accepted on that date the final date for acceptance of payment is 28th August.
With the Dutch Eurobowl registration sent, at what time can we expect information regarding the payment? I would like to get that sorted sooner, rather then later.
