EVENT: English Euro Cup | Sun 12th Aug | Bugman's Bar

[Joemanji]

I wish this was even close to my most embarrassing defeat.

[Pipey]

Surely that was me beating you 3-0 with goblins?

Mine is losing to Porritt's vampires 5-1 with lizards. Sickener!!

[Joemanji]

At least I was using Nurgle that time. I will see you that and raise you:

My Orcs losing to Jim's Ogres.
or
My Undead losing to Paul's Halflings.

But nothing beats this year at UKTC, where my Dark Elves lost to a lovely man playing only his 5th ever game of Blood Bowl. That was his only win in a 1/1/4 tournament.

[Pipey]

Love this game

Entrants list updated BTW.

[Wulfyn]

I'd like to attend but happy to be a spectator.

[Pipey]

Hey Dan that'd be great.

Though I wouldn't ask anyone to travel a long way and not play.

Same goes for me. I'd rather play a few games as well as discuss tactics etc.

If we need a spare player due to odd numbers maybe that can be shared out between a few of us.

Gorgoroth added to list.

[DanDavies]

Having recently got the drive to start playing more tournaments, I would be really interested playing at this event and getting more involved with English Blood Bowl in general.

[Pipey]

PM sent Dan. Sounds great

[Valen]

Woudl a rogue Scot be allowed to play/assist in anyway?

[Pipey]

Hi Gav. Speedingbullet asked the question whether this ought to be "English only"... what do others think? Should we give EO and EB first dibs? Could drop some PMs / emails to see which English guys would like to come first?

[Valen]

Strike that, just realised the 12th is the final game of the season for the Wolverines I will be on the gridiron

[Pipey]

OK mate, general question still stands regarding the question of whether this ought to be just English? Or English EO/EB invitation, with non-English folks asked to attend if spaces remaining?

[lunchmoney]

If someone who can teach wants to come along, should it matter where they are from?

[Nippy Longskar]

I guess the reverse question is...if Team Scotland/Wales were aiming to put together a practice day for their community/team members, would they be happy with English coaches coming to it? I'm honestly not sure what the answer is, and whether keeping these kind of things separate is cool because it encourages a bit more national spirit/pride/whatever (we are rivals at the end of the day!), or whether it'd be better off being open to all in the spirit of bloodbowling comradeship and wider learning.

Could drop some PMs / emails to see which English guys would like to come first?

How's about I do this then? Give it a few weeks then open it up to any comer if there are spots left?
