Waterbowl XI 20/21 February 2016 - Stockport

Post by Leipziger »

When? As the title says February 20/21 2016

Where? At the NWGC in Stockport (fingers crossed 2017 will see a more central Manchester venue)

Price? Waterbowl: £20 (NAF), £25 non-NAF (includes NAF membership). There will, as ever, be a Watermonkey discount available. For £25 NAF (£30 Non-NAF) you can enter both The Waterbowl & the Monkeybowl!

In case anyone doesn't know, Monkeybowl takes place in Hartlepool in April (& has a belting rule set). Provisional date for 2016 is April 2/3.

The Watermonkey discount offers you 12 games at a low price and gives you chance to be King/Queen of the Watermonkeys.

If you pay for the WB and decide to add the MB after, you can still get the discount, you just need to top up the payment.

You can pay by going to PayPal and sending money to waterbowl@hotmail.co.uk (please choose 'friends/family' option)

Waterbowl CD
There will of course be a Waterbowl cd. For your chance to tickle/torture the eardrums of the other players just be in the first 20 to pay. Then, as long as your track is no longer than 3 mins 30 secs, you'll be on the cd!

Every coach gets a copy of the cd.

Legacy Team
This year's legacy team will be lizardmen. Colour scheme: Gold & Aqua/turquoise armour; skin: whatever colour you like.

The sign up thread is:
http://talkfantasyfootball.org/viewtopi ... 58&t=41575

Anyone can submit a figure, but only someone that has painted a fig and attends the tournament can win it (Beanbag is on for a hat trick!)

Social?
Of course! There'll be some food and drink post games on the Saturday. Depending on numbers we'll try and get dinner cost discounted for participants.

You then have the option of trying to keep up with the Danes/Sizzler. Alternately, you can just get sensibly drunk with the rest of us :D

Hoping to make it again next year, will need some work on the wife though, as we'll have two little'uns by the time the tournament rolls around.

Is there a travelodge over the road from the venu, or is it Premiere Inn?

Prem Inn is £69! Anyone stay anywhere else in the area? I'm saw the Duke of York but there was no way of finding a room price.

Shane, I'll have a look for you. I know some people normally stay at the Alma Lodge, which is down Stockport Rd from the venue.

You are, in the end, first to pay by the way! Gav is settling up on payday in the end. You get 1,000,000* bonus points.

In international news, I'm delighted to announce that international sex hound and lady magnet, Brio (Netsmurf) is once again gracing our shores! We also have Mufflo wending his way from Sweden (our first Swede since Odium Khan back at the Waterbowl's start. He lived in Leeds :D )

Rules to come soon! (they're the same as last year, probably)


*applicable once all other tie-breakers are exhausted ;)

Alex,

Not sure yet if I can make it to both Water and Monkey bowls (wife, kids, reasons etc), but definitely put me on the list for the Waterbowl.

Dave.

ps - put me on the "getting sensibly drunk" list. After seeing Sizzler with the Baileys after the Stunty Slam, me trying to keep up would be a very bad idea indeed :)

You can put Ruth and me down for a Water Monkey, we'll pay after all the bike insurance and related junk is out of the way.
