I moved it as I felt the previous weekend (9th January) was getting that bit too close to Christmas and New Year. Two weeks gap from Welsh - far from a direct clash. I guess that's about as big a gap as we can get in an already congested calendar. Sorry you can't make it buddy... :(

Still hoping for Welsh representation one way or another!!

Here's an early stage preliminary sketch for a metal "Ball Token". Would be the tournament gift for UKTC.

One side has CARRIER in green text around the circumference and a >25mm central recess in which to place a ball carrying miniature.

Image

Flipped to the opposite side when the ball is not held (on the deck), with LOOSE in red text around the circumference and a large central ball image.

Image

Needs to be discussed with potential manufacturers re what is practical, but this is the basic idea.

Also needs funds, so I'm hopeful of a few more team registrations in the coming weeks! :)

All feedback welcome.

Looks good! Actually something I would use...
Maybe the "CARRIER"/"LOOSE" should face outwards?

Will the 25mm section be recessed?

Thanks guys. Was thinking it would be handy since I constantly seem to hear myself and others saying “does anyone have a ball?” and no-one seems to be able to find one. A 38mm metal token would be harder to lose! It would also be very visible for the players and for spectators. Yes it would hopefully have a good recess (depending on what the makers say). And good point re text orientation – I’ll try it the other way.

Wouldn't use it myself (magnetised balls and bases on all my teams and always carry multiple balls) but I know a lot of people who would.

Well you know what to do guys...

I will certainly need a lot more registered teams before October 1st to make it happen :)
