It's drivable in less than an hour depending on traffic, so not too far.

No idea as yet. I will ask the organiser and get back to you.
Edit:
They are going to try and get it Naf-ranked.

Hey Matt, this sounds interesting. Does the 100K to spend on skills come out of the 1100K Team Value or is it on top of this?

The 100k for skills is on top of the 1100k to buy your team.
I have now applied for NAF Sanctioning, I am just waiting to hear back from them.

It certainly is an interesting format. My only concern is that you could possibly only have one game on the Sunday.

There will be other things going on, but if you had to hang around for another four hours after being knocked out, it
could get a little boring. I suppose it all depends on how much interest you have in other tabletop/board games.

Indeed, the thing to keep in mind is that this is a Convention that is running a Blood Bowl Tournament.
If the worst happens and you do get knocked out then there should be plenty of other stuff for you to look at and take part in, Hordes and Warmachine, Uncharted Seas, Board Games demos to name a few things.
Alternatively you could just try not getting knocked out

Time to get your game on.

Are you going to bring Dark Elf Slann or Wood Elf Slann?

Some good news,
I have been speaking to Neomics and they have agreed to sponsor the prizes for this tournament, if you want to take a look at what you could potentially win then make a trip to
http://www.neomics.de
Also, Neomics have told us that they will be releasing their latest Creation at VaultCon, if you want to be one of the first to get eyes/hands on it then you know the place to be.
For more information as it is revealed make sure you check out
http://www.vaultcon.co.uk regularly.

As of this time we haven't got any confirmed entrants (We haven't technically opened the door yet) but expect the application form to go up in a week or two, we are just trialing our payment system at the moment.
Of course I will post here when it does and with the assistance of Matt (As he made the first post) will try and keep an up to date list of entrants in post 1.

Dave, I know Cracol has already spoke to Gaz about staying at his for this, so he should be there. Geggster made a 'special' friendship at Vaultbowl this year, so I would expect him to come.
Would be good if you could make it, now the shackles of completing the 24 are gone.

Giving it some serious thought Matt, still a bit fuzzy around the format and schedule, could do with that being explained clearly and slowly for dullards like me!
