Spiky Challenge Cup - 19th June 2011, Reading

[Long_Bomb]

Joe has the results but the delay is my fault. It took me a week to work out that I hadn't sent the results correctly and sent them to Joe just as he hit an assignment deadline.

[firebreather]

A likely story, come on Joe just cos you havent entered the results doesnt mean it didnt happen

[mattwhile]

If Joe's too busy to enter them, then can't he forward them to someone who has got time? Come on Pip, get on it.

Bump - am going camping for the weekend, hope to see my goblins' glorious NAF ranking when I come back!

[Darkson]

I think Joe should be banned from attending any more tourneys until he gets the scores in.

Alright you miserable ingrates, the results have been entered and will go live soon enough when someone higher up presses the magic button. The results came in a weird format requiring cross-referencing data in triplicate, so there may be mistakes. If you find one, let me know on this thread.

I also don't have a working NAF ID for "jamieuglowjones", if he has one let me know and I'll enter his results. But IIRC I spoke to him and he didn't have the £5 for NAF subs so couldn't join that day.

I thought butch played halflings - at least, I seem to remember playing against a 'fling team...

[sann0638]

no, ogres. the jawas were snots. there were flings on another team of 4.

[sann0638]

sadly I lost 3-2 to boomer, though it was a T16 elf b.s., so a draw would have been fair!

[Darkson]

Got it - I played babychaos and his Halflings round 3, not butch.

Also, I know the button hasn't been pressed yet, but the tourney is showing for myself, MoodyGit and BigBelcher, but not for ChrisSwinson.

Forwarded to el Presidente.

I don't know whetherthe results are still waiting approval, but the ranking movement doesn't work on my rssults and I played the same team the following week and both tournaments start from the same point.

[Long_Bomb]

Joe,

Thanks for updating the results and I will chase Jamie to sort it out and be in touch. I'm sorry the format was so difficult to input and I appreciate the extra effort in sorting it.

This is the result of the magic button not having been pressed yet. It will resolve after that time (actually it's done now). Surely you've seen this before Jim?

Hi,

(NAF name = MacTaiga)

There's a mix-up with my game 2, I was originally going to play vs Antipixi but the draw got shuffled and I ended up playing Sann with his Goblins (and the twin ball & chain horrors!:). IIRC me and boomer got swapped so I'm guessing his humans drew 2-2 with Antipixi.

sadly I lost 3-2 to boomer, though it was a T16 elf b.s., so a draw would have been fair!

From my tournament write-up: Game 2 vs Gobbo's with twin ball & chain monstrosities! He couldn't remove enough of my players so despite knocking some out he never got enough of an advantage on field, the game was kept interesting by the fact he intercepted me twice on 6's to prevent TDs. I pulled out an awesome no-reroll leap, 2 dice uphill on a troll (with strip ball), pickup, short pass, catch, dodge, score to take it 3-2 in the last turn. Cracking game with extreme dodge and pickup fails all round.

Sounds a lot like the Elf B.S. Sann's referring to
