COSH BOWL VII - The Hammer Awakens - Colchester - 25.11.23

[scs.sam]

I'm trying to juggle to attend this. What's the limit, Sam? How fast do I need to juggle?

Short of an unexpected stampede of signups (we have 25 free spots at the moment) you can juggle as slowly as the Friday evening before and you'll be good to attend

[Nippy Longskar]

Paid! Looking forward to it.

"9. wotfudboy (allegedly from Luton)"...

Someone will pay for that comment!
And by the way, for absolute clarity, that's not true.

[besters]

Am I correct in assuming that when it says "only four of each skill are allowed on a team" it means four additional skills?

Well it's either that or I am really anti-Dwarf

Yes the skill duplication limit of four applies only to the additional skills from the skills pack.

Yes the skill duplication limit of four applies only to the additional skills from the skills pack.

Obvious I know, but just in case. almost went 5 block, which prompted the question. Have nothing against being anti-dwarf though!

[Tank15]

4 enjohable znd competitive games thanks to Sam, my other opponsnts and everyone else for an enjoyable day.

Quick Announcement:

User error meant that Tourplay was using the tiebreakers in the wrong order - I have adjusted it which has made a couple of changes to the final standings.

The headline change is that Nippylongskar actually came in Second place by Strength of Schedule (Sorry Mark)

Think I'll revert to score in the future - it might not be as pretty but it works so well.
