Flame Bowl for Cancer Research 6th-7th December 2008

I'm pleased to announce that the end of 2008 (well almost) will see the first ever Flame Bowl hosted at New Century House, in Manchester City Centre.

Brought to you by Flame On, proud holders of the coveted 'Worst Bloodbowl Team in the World' award, The Flame Bowl will be a two day, team based affair with teams of 4 battling it out for the title.

Team Shenanigans

Ideally I will be looking for people to enter in teams of 4 - however, don't worry if you can't quite manage this, just let me know that you're interested in forming/joining a team (there'll be a separate 'Teammates' thread in Tournament Discussions) and we can sort it all out from there!
Everyone will be playing as individuals for the first 3 games on day one, then on day two, the 4-strong teams will be paired of according to overall performance.

A Good Excuse!

The other important thing to know is the event is going to be a charity fundraiser for Cancer Research UK. In conjunction with my work, who have promised to add £400 to the total if we can contribute at least that much, I'm hoping to make a cool grand for this excellent cause - and still have a bit spare for some pretty nifty prizes, too.

Prizes, eh?

Speaking of prizes, there'll be some Flame Bowl D6 for all entrants, spot prizes each round, Flame Bowl Dugouts, Flame Bowl Pitches for the winning team and a fully painted team for the overall winner. Oh, and the Stunty Cup, of course.

Rules 'n Whatnot

The rules pack is available to download here:

If you wish to pay by Paypal, please make payment to:

Please include your name and NAF number when paying.

Alternatively if you wish to pay by cheque please PM me and I'll let you know the address to send it to.

If you have a team of 4 interested then let me know on this thread and I'll update the list of teams. If there's 1, 2 or 3 of you then pop a post up on the Flame Bowl Teammates thread in Tournament Discussions and we'll get it sorted.

Sounds good, Nippster! Will have to check funds/holiday plans before confirming though.

Is that team painted by you, Mark? (For those who don't know - Nippy is a painting/sculpting wuenderkind!).

Can a mod sticky this, please?

Pencil me and Komad in (we'll try and rustle up a team, but I doubt we'll be able to grab anyone else from our league).
