Talk Fantasy Football

The (Simon Merton Memorial?) Albion Coast Cup will be running this year as usual on the Bank Holiday weekend in August
27th and 28th in Southampton. Drinks will be drunk, games will be played, curry will be eaten and prizes will be dished out to the lamest, best, and most beautiful.
(Sillysod, Lycos and Belafon in that order)

The ACC is set to become the first ever two day Progression Tournament in the UK.
Sanctioned by The NAF, the tournament will be run according to the CRP with the following exceptions, ammendments and clarifications:

Starting Treasury: 1,050,000
Slann, Underworld, Chaos Pact rosters included.
No Inducements allowed in starting roster.
All Inducements allowed (except Special Play Cards) and to be chosen once opponent is known.
No Petty Cash to be used for Inducements, hiring of new players to the roster (including Journeymen) to be done before next opponent is known.
The Coach may choose which player receives the MVP award after each game.
All Skill rolls must be made immeadiately after the game and skills chosen then before opponent known. (+stats are allowed)
Any Ogre teams will be allowed to allocate ONE extra MVP to a player of their choice prior to the first game.

Points will be awarded as follows:
Win: 3 Points
Draw: 1 Point
Loss: 0 Points

Each round will be drawn according to the Swiss format with no reference to TDs, CAS or TV
If two or more coaches are tied for first place overall at the end of the final game, TD Difference will be used to find final placings.

It is expected that you will be able to provide appropriate miniatures for any stars that you may induce (or at least proxies that distinguish them from regular team members)
It would be sensible to ensure you bring a good number of skill rings.
Starting Rosters will be required in advance of The ACC so that provision can be made for effecient printing of updated rosters in between rounds.

Cost: £20 - what's included? 6 games (3 each day) Brilliant prizes - a fully painted pro elf team with cheerleaders and stars thanks to Cornish Mikey, and some great minis with thanks to Willy Miniatures. Lunch on both days (menu will be provided, choices to be made a week in advance) If you have never joined The NAF before, your £20 will include membership.

Simon Memorial Albion Coast Cup or SMACC. Like it

I've posted of my site for my lads to see. Should be able to drag a few of them along

count me in

I'm in.

And i'll be bringing inkpwn and possibly javrel (neither of these know about this intention, but I figure that shouldn't cause a problem)

Guess I'm in then

we're hoping that a fair percentage of Team Wales will be in attendance, and possibly the exiles team, maybe more of team chaos could come and if my team (the Hampshire Superhogs no less!) makes it in to the WC we could have a bit of pre-WC rivalry. Anyway, lets not get ahead of ourselves....
(Team Chaos indeed...bah)

Will find out if anyone from Bristol Vanguard or Cut and Thrust wants to join in

I'll try, but no promises. If I can make it I'm sure I can drag a couple of the ARBBL lads down with me.

Block, I look forward to any competition against you. With your luck, I can't fail but look good.

Eski - thatd be great, really not too far from Bristol, and should be a really good weekend
Darkson, we'll keep our fingers crossed
Naz - yeah.... lol

Too cheap to buy a webdomain? Then make a blog about the event

count me in ..........as to the rest of the island posse......we shall see !!!

that will 3 yrs running we have attended.......and taken lots of the prezzies

Sounds good. I'll add it to the calendar.

thanks Joemanji, will you be defending your title?

It seems likely. It's a long way away though (distance & time), so I can't confirm for a while. Maybe I'll have found a life other than BB by then? Who knows? Seems unlikely.

*voice from beyond*

Great..so it does take my death to boost the attendance!
