Whew! What a day! Thanks a million to all those that came. I'm knackered!!

It was a great day though, some great stories. Couple of my personal highlights:
  • Nazgob losing a Blodging Ogre to a halfling foul on turn one of game one.

    Merrick taking on my "Make 10 Go For It rolls in one turn" challenge like a hero, even making the last two with Deeproot Strongbranch.

    Watching Hawk manage to pull of a One Turn Touchdown despite me sticking him on two minute turns.

    Wobert, upon hearing that there was a spot prize for the next person to score a touchdown, making a GFI to score... only to fail it on the touchdown line.

    wwe2015's valiant and constant attempts to complete a Long Bomb pass with Orcs.

    Angry Hobbit's Puggy being thrown at Morg, bouncing off of Morg's manly chest and dying.

    Watching Nazgob and Ploppy have an Ogre-off in constant rain.

    Nightwing visibly struggling with the hard decision of whether to foul on turn 16 - despite being 1-1 and having no bribes - before walking it in.

    Watching Monkey Trumpet pitch clear Mawph's Pro Elves - With Goblins!

    Following Merrick's epic 5-0 win with Halflings, somehow managing to pull of five completions with them at the same time.

    Discovering Wobert's Elves had been out-bashing Eth4n's Orcs, who in turn had been out-passing said elves (6 completions from an orc team!)

    Hearing Bert try to come to terms with why his Yhetee had been fouled off the pitch - successfully - by a Black Orc.

    Goading Jip into using Sneaky Git... Or trying to!

    Just... so many Ogres. I think there were roughly 19 Ogre models being used today.

    Declaring that the next spot prize was going to the next person to suffer a turnover on their first action of the turn - then it being claimed literally five seconds after!

    Watching Frogboy go from having Fame +1 to his opponent having Fame +2 - then rolling pitch invasion.

    Crowding round the top table watching Wob and Hawk's immensely tense final match... 4-4, one turn left, Skaven have possession... Then Wob getting a perfect defense!!
The list goes on and on!

Basically, I had a blast, and I hope everyone else did too. I'm well up for running it next year (Orclympics?), so keep your ears peeled. I'll do a proper blog write up thing soon, going into a bit more detail about how the scoring system worked and its implications (if you're into that sort of thing), but for now I'm off to bed...

First Place - Wobert
Second Place - Hawk
Third Place - Leipziger

Most TDs - Wobert

That is the face of a nazgob who had lost an ogre to a rock before turn one!

Great tournament, but I may use a real team next year. Stupid ogres.

Gorgoroth was saying he'd completed the twenty-four at this one, too.

Fair play chap. I'm only twenty-three behind you!

Ooh, will sort him out with a patch - he should have let me know beforehand, could have sent one along!

Well done all.

Despite 3 wins and a draw I appear to still be on a NAF ranking of 150!

They've only gone up this evening to give it a bit, I think it'll sort itself out.

If anyone interested, here's a bit of an essay of a write-up I did about the scoring etc.

Thanks to Twelfman for organising everything. Thanks to my opponents for the fun - even Frogboy after clearing the pitch of 15 players :( . 14 dead, 2 self inflicted (including Puggy) and Morg in the Knockout box. It may be time to retire this team and bring back the Pygmies.
