Waterbowl Weekender

Hi all,

The next tournament in our Online NAF series will be a little different. Fed up of the cold weather? Crashed out of the FUMBBL Cup? Trying to shift the post World Cup blues? You need the Waterbowl Weekender! The event will last for one weekend only, so make sure you mark your calendars for the 28th / 29th November 2015 NOW!

The Waterbowl is the home of Manchester's tabletop league, and every February / September, coaches descend on the North West Gaming Center for the Waterbowl and Stunty Slam tournaments. Our online tournament winners will win a free ticket to the relevant event (group winners to the Waterbowl, Stunty winners to the Slam).

The rulespack for our tournament can be found here or here. It's also summarised below.

Applications open at 22:00 server time on Friday 20th November, and you can make a team via this link and apply to one of three groups according to your timezone. Coaches wishing to play in European timezones should apply here, North American timezones here, and Oceanic timezones here.

The team creation link gives 6 normal plus 1 double

Yep! As stated, team application opens on Friday. That skillset is in place to complete the WCWU. It will change in a few days.

This is a great idea, FUMBBL weekend. Fair play!

damn
one weekend earlier, i would have been able to participate (i miss onligne naf tourney)

Applications are now open!

Get those teams in!

First teams accepted to the group! No doubt, as ever, applications will peak the closer to kick-off we get, but don't leave it too late! When your timezone kicks off, it's too late.

48 hours and a bit to go bump!

Get that team in!

One last BUMP!

Get those teams in now, or miss out!
