Always a calendar highlight, and another triumph by the organising team. Really enjoyed my go with the halflings, and a very competitive stunty cup it was!
Not sure PanicoBlack's blood pressure will recover for a while!

Enjoyed my game against you, felt I gave a good account of myself against a significantly more experienced opponent!

If any representatives of the schools in attendance are on here, just want to acknowledge that those lads represented themselves really well and took some dicings and bad results better than several of the grown ups in the room might have done, had the tables been turned (myself included!).
I passed on my thanks to one of the teachers about FinnDiesel in particular, really confident and calm young lad.
Heard a few comments like “points on legs” throughout the weekend, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Beaten By Children (BBC) community earned ourselves a few new members over the course of the six rounds...

I played JJ on day one and made sure I took the time to track down his teacher to compliment him on his manners and attitude - 1st class. Then I played Finndiesel on Day 2 (and lost) and was just as impressed. Especially with his enthusiasm over my Goblin blocking and killing his Minotaur in T16
If these guys are representative of the future of our hobby, then the future is bright.

Absolutely. My round 2 opponent was one of the aforementioned lads on the school trip. He struck me as a really smart cookie with a great knowledge of the game rules plus an instinctive grasp of the probabilities and how to play to manage them well. And yes, he beat me. I took it out on his maths teacher later.Jip wrote:If any representatives of the schools in attendance are on here, just want to acknowledge that those lads represented themselves really well and took some dicings and bad results better than several of the grown ups in the room might have done, had the tables been turned (myself included!).

Also ThomasW, I didn't play him myself but he must surely have overcome some decent opposition to get that record become be the U16 winner. Is he the youngest to win that award? Impressive in any case.

Well said. I played Fogels, he was a great opponent and a pleasure to chat to. He suffered some poor dice but still nearly caused me some blushes with an outrageous late-game break-away! Well played sir.Jip wrote:If any representatives of the schools in attendance are on here, just want to acknowledge that those lads represented themselves really well

Thank you for the kind words - yes I am on here (but don't post much). It's great to hear that the young bloods were a pleasure to play against. For them it's really the highlight of the yea, and thank you to the whole community for being so welcoming to players with less experience. I'll pass your messages on - they really help to raise the profile of BB in the school.

Cheers for letting me crash your guys' evening, definitely didn't disappoint - cosmetic surgery, diligence, abstinence and free beers, what's not to love!shaniepoo wrote:We will be going to Hooters for tea and then the Pit and Pendulum rock bar after. Welcome to join us.
Very jealous of the set-up you guys have, as I work in a secondary school myself. Would be interested to chat sometime (maybe PM rather than clogging up a thread) about what you did/do to get such a decent turn out of students.Stig wrote:I'll pass your messages on - they really help to raise the profile of BB in the school.

TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.
Bribe level: good coffee.

Re: The NAF championships 2019 4th and 5th May
Yeah, I knew that, but to get even one student all the way to an event like the NAFC suggests a really solid foundation back at the school itself/themselves. I think 7s makes Blood Bowl the most viable GW game to play in a school setting due to the time, attention span and cost implication, so just interested in how they got it all kicked off (still a little salty about Kick Offs and the NAFC after my game six!).lunchmoney wrote:From two different schools
Aaaaanyway, don't want to derail this one, so hopefully Stig will get in touch at some point.

Sure thing - I'll post up what I do somewhere - where's the best place here? "Community Discussion / Newbies / General Chat?"
