ARBBL Open 2015, 28th/29th March 2015

[Darkson]

38 coaches, and some strange results, such as BigBelcher being the #1 ARBBLer going into round 4!

Round 4 draw:

New Dirty Tricks Card ... Cancel Train... Your opponent's train is cancelled and the next one wont get him.to his lift in Fareham till 9:23!!! Fortunately JimmyJazz can pick me up from Havant - but now will we have time for our Wimpy breakfast??? We'll make it on time, nuffle willing...

Don't think this is new at all......

I read " Frank & Jimmy late for tournament again"

As long as they arrive the right way up...

Thanks Darkson for a really brilliant, fun tourny, thanks to my driver Jimmy Jazz for the banter can't wait for NAFC, thank you to ALL my opponents for giving me an accolade for TFF at last other than Spikey wooden spoon, to all the ARBBLers for helping Simon out, to those who agreed to donate their pro painting services to Thrudball's charity auction or who bought merchandise, and really everyone there for being the best bunch of mates a bloke could wish for! It was a POOTing awesome tourney!

Again, many thanks to the coaches, new and old, that have attended the ARBBLs I've run over the years (8 years, 11 tournaments - WHY!!), and if I don't run another then I hope you've got as many good memories as I have.

Great to see everyone again.

Simon, thanks for another great ARBBL. Can't quite believe it's the last one.

Grats to all.

Didn't quite work out for you after all Mr Darkson!!

Thanks for a great GEEKEND, played 6 different races and had 6 great games ( games not results!!)

[Boneless]

Great weekend. Thanks guys

[vmcat]

Great tournament Simon and fellow ARBBLers, absolutely chuffed with my win!
Thanks to my six opponents, all great games.
Hope someone will be running it again next year!

Absolutely superb weekend from the newly-named Sann Clan.

I had 6 pretty close games, which is always satisfying - NorthernKnight's undead, BigBelcher's lizards, waddywoo's Norse, JimmyJazz's Necro, radster's Pro Elves and Hogshine's humans - 6 different races, and I think 5 new opponents. Awesome stuff, and my Chaos have stayed above 150. Time to put them back in the box for a while!

More importantly, the boys had a great time and were warmly welcomed by all.

Linus (Enderman) played ShipleyDancingman, Itchen, Campsbell, DaPiranha, Nobby and then took part in the loudest Pumpkinbowl in history. Alex (aka Dementor) played someone who had half a game of BB to his name, and came away with a 2-2 draw, and then DeeTee's Necro, Lycos (2 NAF games v 1012!), Canteloup, Darkson and the aforementioned Pumpkinbowl.

If any of their opponents had any problems, please do drop me a line. It's looking like tournaments are going to be more expensive for me from now on! Will stick my photos on Facebook in a bit (and then send Al a link...)

Thanks again!

Another fine weekend, with some weird and wonderful matches, results (and opponents! :p ) Was a little annoyed that my goblins were determined to sunbathe in the opposition Endzone instead of scoring - three times, but it was still fun. All opponents, including a lively elf/dwarf coach in Enderman, were pleasant to play against, and yes that includes Sam.

Notice in Simon's facebook pictures that I'm seen playing both Linus and Frank. The opposite ends of the age range? But both displaying a wonderful enthusiasm to enjoy themselves Good times.
