Spiky Challenge Cup - 19th June 2011, Reading

[Long_Bomb]

The Spiky Club would like to invite you to attend the inaugural Spiky Challenge Cup. Coaches will have the opportunity to take part in four games of Blood Bowl in a single day as part of a four man team. Players are encouraged to form a team from their own games club or region where possible. Anyone without a club/regional team will be formed into a mercenary band of similar coaches for the day. The highest scoring team of the day will take home the trophy.

Ooooohhhh I so want in. Naz? Me, you andy and jaime?

[firebreather]

Should be able to make it, surely the wife cant object to me going to a Tournament on my birthday , we can probably get a team or two together from the ECBBL.

Darn it, I thought the original plan was for a Saturday? I cant do Sundays

[Long_Bomb]

Just a quick note to say I’ve updated the original post. Firstly I’ve added the word Cup to the title so when it’s advertised externally it will be easier to see it is a Blood Bowl event. I’ve also updated the price as, thanks to a combination of badgering the Spiky Chairman and gathering a enough prizes at no real cost, the ticket price is reduced to £10 per person.

Hey mate,

where can I find a copy of the Spiky Cup rules? Going to try and get a vanguard team together.

It's father's day too! There will be a Swindon team of some description.

[besters]

I think I have a team of four sorted, when and how would you be looking for payment?

[mattwhile]

Will you be allowing inducements and stars for stunties?

[sann0638]

Judging by the size of the hall, im sure numbers wont be a problem

Sorry for the delay in answering this but as Firebreather said we have enough space to fit in plenty of coaches. I don't see space being an issue as long as we can make complete teams of four. I will put the full rules pack up shortly but I'm just battling with the best way to run the pairing. Although I liked the idea of all four players from one team taking on another team each round there are a few issues with this type of format and it looks like I'm going to go for a simple swiss pairing. The team builds will be the same as for the Spiky Open 2010, the rules pack can be found here:

I'll add details for payment when the pack is up.
