Team Wales's SFisher received the best comeback & Glowworm appreciation award!
Nope, SFisher got best comeback & the Stunty cup (Ogres) and I believe Nonumber got most Cas (32!!) and the Glowworm award.

i didnt think i was in the running for most TD's I only got something like 13!!

just like to say a massive thanks to all my opponents (even Hawca :wink: ) I couldnt pick a best match, i enjoyed every game.

Also many thanks to all the Welsh crowd for a top weekend (Bacon butties/Curry/Sunday roast and 6 games for £20!! top value)

Great weekend all round, thanks to all those involved. I managed to achieve what I set out to achieve; a wave of total destruction.

Six excellent matches had, was going to single out one of my opponents but I reckon they all deserve credit so;

Headstrong - My only loss of the tournament you slippery devil, but I traded five casualties for a 1-0 defeat so can't complain ;)
Aflo - Dwarfs vs. Goblins, what can you say? Brutal match, but a lovely team that rightfully won best painted.
Buggrit - KO'd his own Snow Troll on a double skull early on and it failed to return. Cheers mate! Top game.
Eski - What can I say? A gentleman to the last. Four players on the pitch at the end and still managed to make sure the game wasn't as clear cut as it could have been. Great game sir. Well played.
Hawca - His elves couldn't dodge, and then I killed them. Well and truly diced but remained a great sport about the whole thing. Cheers mate.
Hobnail - Battle of the most CAS award contenders! Close game, 1-1, ended both our hopes of sneaking the tournament winners trophy and once again an early exit for a Snow Troll sent a wave of relief through me. Failed to pick up three turns straight which helped my cause. Unlucky mate, great game.

But true to the nature of blood bowl, everyone there seemed to be a nice bunch, so thanks again everyone. See you next time.

Had a good time, even when I was helping Joe towards his win. Think I might give up on elves, too many ones :(.

Really good fun weekend. Well done Joe and thanks to all my opponents.

Now I just need to go away and actually learn how to play Chaos Pact before the NAFC! :roll:

Lots of very strange games for me - almost all of them over by half time in someone's favour! Finished 3-0-3, OK with khemri but a bit disappointing after my recent league and fumbbl exploits with them.

Took some photos, but my main laptop is dead so there will be a delay on them :(

Thanks for a fun weekend - definitely in the diary for next year (with a proper team!).

You still had some players left by half time in our match. The only problem was they were all AG1.

Great weekend for me as well. I won't drive up and down next time though as the journey home on Saturday night in the snow was hairy to say the least. Even without the weather, 300+ miles and 6 games of Blood Bowl in 2 days was quite tiring :D

I came away happy with my Goblins performance and a record of 1-1-4 was respectable. I even managed a TTM touchdown in my first game, a Troll catching a bouncing ball and rolling over the line for a TD in my second game and an inspired play against Chaos Pact where I chopped the Dark Elf down with the saw and launched the ball with my HMP bomber so far down field that only my pogo could get to it and secured a draw. It was a real laugh and I'll be back next year.

Question.. Should I take leader reroll and no team reroll for NAFC? Keeping with the same playing format and losing all those skills?
