I´m definately interested. If I can coordinate that with business requirements bringing me to Belgium I will be in it.
Questions:
- Tier 3 and 4 Teams can assign extra skills. Are they (Block + Leader + Dirty Player) on the same player or on two or three different players? So one skill a player or produce a big target with two or three skills?
- How do you fit in time for lunch and dinner with that schedule?
- Can you take a nap at the venue after the tournament as my train back would be next morning?

Hi Willi,

There haven't been any updates because we had Brassbowl in Belgium last weekend. I always try to reduce "spamming" the forums untill my tournament is actually the next one on the Belgian calendar.

No player can ever gain more than one skill. This includes the skills that are assigned before the tournament.

We make sandwiches, hot-dogs, croques ... available at the bar (for free) 30 minutes before the round ends. That way everybody can grab some food once they are done with their match. The few players that need their full two hours to finish their game can grab a bite while their opponent takes his turn or eat between rounds. It doesn't take that long to eat a sandwich or a hot-dog

The venue closes for the night, but I will provide sleeping places at my home or at some of my club members' homes. You'd possibly have to bring a sleeping bag and a mat.

Looking forward to meeting you!

Kind regards.

Mats

THx Mats for getting this organized. Splendid tournament, thx to my opponents . Had some terrific matches, most of them tied. First time playing Dwarves, so that's fine.
