As far I am aware the competitiors are:
Rwould
Noodle
Noodle Snr
Myself
huan.quayle
Chris H? (ecbbl)
and someone else I don't know.
That's not official, just what i've picked up from various conversations.
Still haven't decided on a team, tried, tested and mediocre orcs, or try out the skaven for the first time, provided I can paint them in time...which isn't too likely. Bit fragile those rats though after playing with av9

There are now eight in total, those that Paul has listed, an extra one who (afaik) is not a TBB'er, and JJB, another ECBBL'er.
Eight makes it much easier for me than seven :
From what I know a reasonable mix of teams too, with (I think) only one team appearing twice.
And pretty much a prize for every player!
I have all the boards we need, so there is no need for people to bring boards. Just teams. And beer money.
Look forward to seeing all there.

PS For those not attending, the Saturday and Sunday also has a large trade show including a bring and buy, so come to the show and say hello to us all if near!

A prize for everyone? I hope you're going to varnish my spoon then.
Currently trying to speed paint the skaven - otherwise it's back to orcs and the traditional 1-1 draws.

I'm sorry to have to do this, but it looks increasingly unlikely that either myself or my Dad will be able to make it this weekend. Unfortunately my Dad has somehow managed to get a trapped nerve in his leg and can barely walk. The doctors keep saying it will go away but...
In which case I will also be unable to attend because a) I was relying on his car and b) I will probably be needed to help out at his home this weekend....
We can only hope for a miraculous recovery today or tomorrow. I will try to contact the tournament organiser personally, through mail or phone.
I know this leaves you with only 6 in the tournament, which is kinda sucky, but I guess its just "one of those things"
I was looking forward to it too
Hopefully my Dad will have recovered by September for CamCarnage. Its the price of being 67 I suppose!

It looks like the ECBBL grabbed most of the trophies again...
The first and second prizes, the most casualties caused, and the wooden spoon...
That's a pity that's more people have not been able to come - sorry about your dad Noodle... - because there was a very relaxed atmosphere at that 'convention', since it was not just a tourney but also a good occasion to have a look at the world of wargaming in general, as well as try a lot of new and experimental board games (whose makers were trying to sell more or less successfully... ).
Unless I have holidays planned or I have to take exams for my master's next year, I should be there next year.
