Nice one Purplegoo

How will the Matches be played ? Fumbbl, Cyanide or Pbem?

This is on Fumbbl.

Indeed. That would hopefully have become clear to anyone unfamiliar with these tournaments when the main publicity hits next week, but for now I've amended the thread title.

Thanks for classification.

The OP is updated, and applications are now open for a week. If you have any questions, please shout. If not, I'll see you on a Welsh pitch!

4 days to go. Get applying!

Bump!

Decent looking numbers with ~ 60 before the last minute rush!

We kick off tonight! Any last minute applications should get moving!

I'm in

Our tournament is GO!

66 coaches have opted to go Welsh for the next 5 weeks, and will fight it out in three Swiss groups. Please join us over on FUMBBL and spectate some of the mouth watering match-ups that have been thrown up!
