Waterbowl Weekender Manchester 16/17 Feb PIPPY WON

Post by Leipziger »

Following the success of the previous installments of the Waterbowl, we are decidely chuffed to announce that our third Weekender will take place on the 16 and 17th February 2008. Due to a growth in numbers over the past couple of years, the tournament will not be held at Fan Boy 3 this time around :(. However, we have got a sexy new venue. This year's event will be hosted at the CTF Building on Grafton Street, Manchester, which is part of the university. The new venue does have some distinct adantages:

*Air conditioning :lol:
*More than enough space for up to 50 players
*Up to 20 parking places onsite (and there is parking nearby)
*More than one toilet (and they're clean :o :lol: )

Check out www.umic.co.uk if you want more details about the location.

Hopefully, we will still have some support from FB3, who have given us excellent support for our tournaments (and still do for our challenge ladder).

Naturally, we hope to offer the same quality of prize support, competition and atmosphere that we have enjoyed at our previous tournaments.

Rulespack now available! Check out:

and click on WATERBOWL 2008.



Price:£20 (NAF), £25 (Non-NAF).

Twin Crowns of the North Discount

This year, in conjunction with the Monkeybowl (in Hartlepool), we are offering a special offer price of £27 (NAF) if you wish to attend both of these tournaments (£32 if you are Non-NAF). 12 games of Blood Bowl for under £30 is not to be sniffed at.

For those interested in MonkeyBowling too, the date will be 5th & 6th April.

If you do not have a paypal account, pm me and I will give you an address to send cheques/cash


As per last year (and the year before that), the first 15 people to pay will get to choose a song for the Waterbowl CD ('Now That's What I Call Waterbowl Vol III :lol:).

Guys, we have had an AMAZING cover designed for our Waterbowl CD and to complete it, we need the track names (and artists) asap. The tracks themselves would be wonderful too, but the names and artists are crucial for the listing.

Also, people have been asking me if there are still places available for the tournament. The answer is yes! The big list of people refers to people who are interested in playing. This is to give us an idea of the space needed adn to give other people an idea of the level of interest. Unless there is a *paid* sign next to the name, the ticket has not been secured. That means, at the moment, we have around 26 spots left (we may have to cut off the numbers at 44 - final figure, to be confirmed).

NEWSFLASH - 15 th Feb 2008

Yeah we've cut a deal with the Manc boys to offer a discount if you pay for Monkeybowl and the Waterbowl together.

Monkeybowl entry is £12 for 2008 and Waterbowl is £20 - buy both together for £27 and save £5. Some deal hey folks!?! :D

Send all joint payments to Leipziger.

Cheers,
Pip
