The only thing I don't like is Gazza's hair

I've always found Gazza's hair particularly inoffensive.

It is a bit too 'curly'.

My boss has now said that I can have the day off. Can someone post a summary of the rules on here as the website is blocked here at work?

Paid by paypal Puggers.

Just realised Matt- haven't seen you since Lycos' and ARBBL...

TV110?

I know, my ears have had a massive rest.

It is tv 110. No new teams as well.

Grumbledook · Post by **Grumbledook** » Mon Oct 19, 2009 10:22 am

4 skill points at the start 3 more before game 3

normal rolls cost 1 point doubles cost 2, can't give a player more than one extra skill

Have you got a room yet Jon?

Grumbledook · Post by **Grumbledook** » Mon Oct 19, 2009 11:32 am

No, not 100% sure I'm going yet, it is my birthday weekend so may be going out in London.

My request asking where everyone else has booked obviously fell on deaf ears.

The plans I had to convert a new team up in time also have gone downhill

I'm also likely out of a job the week after...

anyone posts somewhere that is a good offer though and I may come along regardless

Puggy, can you just clarify the second lot of training points comes in after two games?

@ Ironjaw ~ Payment received dude! NIiiiice!

@ Matt
Copied straight from the pdf.....

Team Development:
• Teams receive 4 Training Points before the 1st round and 3 Training Points before the 3rd
round.
• One Training Point buys a Normal Skill, Two Training Points buy a Doubles Skill.
• No player may be given more than 1 additional skill during the tournament.

***I've noticed a clerical error here***
It should say "....and 3 training points before the FOURTH round."

Gods knows, how many times I've read it! Sorry about that.
In essence 4 points to spend before game 1 on Saturday and 3 points before game 4 on Sunday

I did wonder why it was before the third and not the fourth game, thought you were just trying something different so didn't bother to point it out

think i actually would prefer them after game two
