Auld World Masters *Won by Itchen*

Cornishwoon and myself are both relatively new to the tournament scene but decided that we would quite like to run one ourselves. We put our heads together and came up with the Auld World Masters. As it is a little ‘unusual’ we want to road test a mini version of it first and so we intend to hold a small 12 man tournament at my house (inspired as it were by Sann and his Birthday Bowl). We’re aiming for 12 but may consider fitting in more if demand requires it. If it proves to be popular by whoever attends we will run a larger version next year.

This is a 4 game / one day regression tournament at a mighty cost of £6 per head which will cover a bacon sandwich for breakfast (or vegetarian friendly option), something (as of yet unknown) for lunch, drinks throughout the day and very small prizes for the odd winner! Payments by Paypal please to be sent to - ajpring@hotmail.com

Rules pack is attached.

Location – Tewkesbury in north Gloucestershire. My home is 5 minutes from the motorway (J9 off the M5) and the nearest train station is Ashchurch (we can probably arrange pick up from there if required).

I will apply for NAF approval.

Timetable
9:00 – 9:30 Arrive, put the kettle on, size up opponent, general banter
9:30 - 11:30 Game 1
12:00 - 14:00 Game 2
14:30 - 16:30 Game 3
17:00 - 19:00 Game 4
19:00 – 19:15 Wrap up and awards

The first match ups will be decided by a random draw but after that we will use the swiss format system. All injuries and deaths picked up during a game are removed for the next match. This is not true though of injuries assigned between games . . . . read on for more detail. Any Zombies or Rotters produced from kills will not be kept between games.

We are a little short on boards and dugouts . . . . in that we only have a couple . . . so please can everyone bring one or we will be in a little bother!

Attending
I will log the first 12 coaches down who contact me about playing . sign up below. I don’t need payment immediately but as it’s quite cheap sending it through relatively promptly may help me in sorting out prizes etc.

Bit too far to travel for me, but good luck and I hope you can make it a regular fixture :)

Something to consider as well, if you can stretch to 14 coaches you should be eligible to award a NAF trophy. Talk to your local NAF rep about it, Hawca I believe.

Just read the fluff and rules, very amusing and should be fun and challenging. Also nice to see the Glowworm Award is spreading like a plague :lol:

Al, Naf website and members forum both say 12 NAF members needed to award trophies in 4 game tournaments, not 14. I'll travel and play anyway tho as it's close enough and it feels important to support new tourneys in 2015 (with the likely death of some old favourites)

Coolio. I posted that whilst at work and I cant access NAF at work to check these things.

So talk to Hawca and NAF trophy :)

I might be Albioning, which is the week after usually, but if not then it's a definite possibility!
