I'm really looking forward to this. roll on Sunday :)

Geniune question: I've seen quite a few of the attendees play over the last few years. Do any of you cosistantly struggle to keep it under two minutes? Like Rubick says, strict two minute turns are new to me, I think I can keep the pace up generally but am interested to know how others found it.

Wrong thread, surely this should be on the Dead Rising thread?
Anyway, sure, why not!? I might even award it like I did for Rise of the Cheerleaders in 2011 8)
So does this statement mean I can win an award for dressing as an awesome zombie ?
: off topic: but sure. It'll be fun :)

The first Speedbowl I was expecting a lot of alarms to go off and hear a lot of cries of exasperation, but it wasn't too bad.

I didn't practice with the Bristol lot last night, so I'm just gonna make it up as we go along! Not expecting brilliant results. :P

I'm of the same mind of dave. You need to play on instinct and just go for it sometimes. Perfect for your play style.

Oli wasn't best pleased with my passing play to a skellie in a TZ to get the draw in our last practise match. ;)
