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.
So how many match would be played from a coach?

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.
That's sounds very good! :wink:
Nippy Longskar wrote: Rules 'n Whatnot

The rules-pack is in the works and I hope to have a downloadable version available soon, which will include all timings, directions to the venue and so on. In the meantime here's a summary:

1,100,000 gp teams
Skills purchased pre tournament, with varying prices for different skills
Stars Allowed
Inducements allowed with the exception of Wizards
Each team of 4 coaches must use 4 different races
Can you put on more info about rules etc.
How much does skills costs?
How many money can we spend in skills?
Etc...
I need infos to look for italian coaches interested in forming a team :wink:

Thx,

Roller

Well at least one team from the ECBBL is up for this

The Blackshirts:
1) Myself (Cookie)
2) JJB
3) Stu
4) 1 from either: Lycos, Gumbo or Hangus

We will try and sort out payment ASAP

Hopefully with enough pestering we might be able to muster a second team assuming there's room?!

Woop! Great to hear from you Roller, that's certainly a good incentive to get the rules pack finished!

To answer your other question, everyone will play 6 games. 3 on Saturday, paired off as individuals (like day one at the World Cup) then 3 on Sunday, paired off in teams (like day 2 and 3 at the World Cup)

This is really fantastic, I'm so chuffed to see so many people interested. I'm going to have to double check capacity for the venue!
