Block Around The Clock III - PIPPY WINS!!!

[PeteW]

How are you guys doing?

Wish I was there!

[Pipey]

Blood Bowl.

[eldritchfox]

Many thanks to all involved for such a fab event. Despite the burning sensations behind my eyes and visualising tackle zones and failed dodge rolls it was well worth travelling up for.

Look forward to seeing some of you nutters at NAFC.

Yeah great stuff, thanks for a great tourney don! I'm off to slip into a coma now.....

[Don__Vito]

Hello everyone!

Well that was a bit mental wasn't it! Why do we keep organising this stupid tournament??? Too many funny/insane/weird things to mention, but had a blast running it for you guys! Winners included:

1st Place - PIPPY - Lizardmen (9/2/0)
2nd Place - STICK - Norse (9/1/1)
3rd Place - DON_VITO - Lizardmen (8/3/0)
Most CAS - STICK (46), award went to MattRobson (40) though as Stick has Runner Up in the bag.
Most TD - DON_VITO (30)
Stunty Cup - STEVE_CHAMBERS - Halflings (1/3/7)
Wooden Spoon -LISTER -Ogres (0/1/10)

Final listings all below. Apologies to the few of you who text me over the weekend asking for updates. I couldn't really keep up with what was happening as it unraveled (Along with my mind...), and by the time I had a chance to reply my phone died!

All results have been sent to Pippy to put into the NAF, bear with him though as it will have to be done manually as SCORE wasn't used and I'm sure like most of us he'll be in bed very soon if he isn't already!

Thanks again to everyone who came, especially Lister who sorted the bar and venue for us, and Pippy who helped organise everything behind the scenes. We'll be happy to pass the mantle back to Stan for next years event!

On a personal note, thank you to all my eleven opponents, had some absolutely cracking games and really enjoyed the madness!

Thanks to Don & Pip for putting on a really fun event Congratulations to the winners.
I had a stack of really entertaining matches & the dwarves had a blast. Roll on next year!

[Don__Vito]

Bren's had the NAF results up since this morning. Massive thanks to him for getting them done so quickly. And a huge round of applause for him going second in the world!

[robsoma]

Well done Bren!

[JT-Y]

[Oly1987]

Great weekend, thanks to dave for organising a great event and congratulations to pippy on winning. Look forward to do it again

[Pipey]

Amazing stuff. Kudos to Don for putting on an excellent event and thank you to Ste for use of the masons again.

I had some incredible games. Very lucky not to have lost several times. Particularly against Eldritch Fox's goblins: an insane game where all my skinks died and a saurus had to pick the ball up from under his fanatic's nose for a turn 16 2-1 win. At one stage it looked for all the world I was going to lose 2-1; I've never seen Geggster look so happy as he watched from the sidelines. But somehow we turned it round and Gegg's expression returned to its usual grimace... Great fun!!

Corking encounters also against peo2223, Cragus_Maximus, The Don, Stick and Gegg himself. Those ones really could've gone either way too. Thanks to all 11 opponents, all a pleasure to play in the bizarre circumstances

Olly (Fox), we can change those results to register them under Eldritch Fox. To be clear though - MrFox (attended Apocalypse Now 2009) is definitely nothing to do with you then?

[eldritchfox]

I think that was my favourite game of the weekend.
I've asked admins here to change my username to eldritchfox so it matches NAF id.
The mrfox on NAF is another coach.

Thanks again.

[Ruthy]

Thanks to Dave for organising this and all my 11 opponents, an amazing tournament, definately up for this again.

I recovered a lot quicker than expected, not at all put off playing bloodbowl.
