UK Team Challenge - Jan 10-11, 2015

[Ironjaw]

Lauth- We didn't have live team standings because we were adding the bonus points at the end, so they would've been false readings anyway.

Azzroag- The timings were difficult but we'll try and get things smoother next time. 2.5 hours is a long time for a blood bowl game, and hopefully not too many games had to be called after this amount of time.

Garrick- The tables will have to stay the same, but we'll ensure the trolley is available for you ;D

Stick- I had to play, you massive cunnt. Who takes one Troll Slayer?

It was nice to see some old and new faces again. Glad everybody seemed to enjoy it...

Thanks to CircusBear for allowing me to hog the lectern.

Ordering you geeks about seems to be my calling in Blood Bowl, because fukk knows I hate the game

Score allows you to do this as you go along if Pippy wanted to, but I think he chose not to?

Hopefully the new WC software will be available by then anyway, so it could be all bells and whistles!

Lauth/Ironjaw/Sann - the bonus points at end was less of a deliberate thing, more of something I couldn't quite figure out in Score. I'm hopeful we can sort that, though it's not a huge deal.

We should also be able to get results posted on the big screen during the rounds. Noted!

I liked my trolley, it was black and had 3 levels, brakes, handles at both ends, it was precious, my preciousssssss!

Would it be difficult to post all the match scores from each round with the other results? I understand that the "bottom" table results might be a little complicated but it would be nice to follow each teams track through the tournament. Not a problem if you can't.

Lest we forget - awesome tournament guys, will definitely be there next year!

[Pipey]

I'll do that Graham. You're not the first to ask. I'll also inquire about some larger tables. You never know...

[Vanguard]

Does the venue offer any additional room as I'd hope to see more teams next year.

[Pipey]

Yes it does. I've booked a second room. Capacity will be 120.

[Joemanji]

Bonus points as we go along would be preferable, makes the match-ups more accurate for Swiss.

With regards to the announcements, I think it was just a volume problem. I struggled to hear some of them. And if I can't hear Leon even with amplification ...

[Purplegoo]

Agreed with Joe on bonus points.

Announcements are a tricky thing to get right, louder and people don't like the shock, quieter and people can't hear you. I should think an announcement followed by a wander around, reinforcing the message at each table might be a compromise, assuming next year Leon doesn't have to sub in.

I think we'd all appreciate the personal Leon touch.

But it's all nitpicking. I thought this was a real triumph. Great for our scene.

Strange sense of deja vu about this sentence!

[Pipey]

All noted. Feedback we likey.

Stats fans will be pleased to find the round by round match results on page one!

[Valen]

By the way I can provisionally announce that UKTC II will take place on January 16 & 17 2016!! More details and confirmation to follow some time soon.

EXCELLENT news for me personally, I was always going to struggle for the weekend before due to work commitments, but this one works GREAT

Look out for Team Sutton next year

[Wulfyn]

There was an interesting division on the slightly-too-thin-to-play-lengthways tables, where the guys who played fumbbl seemed to be happy to play horizontally whilst those that did not seemed to prefer vertically.

Liking the page 1 stats!

[Joemanji]

I thought the tables were fine, the overhang was very minor and I played all 6 games lengthways without the slightest trouble.

[J_Bone]

Yeah, when I turned up I was concerned and the roll up boards we had were too big (we have a bunch of Deep Cut Studios boards) but it was fine for GW and FF Fields boards. Bigger is generally always better (ooh, err) but the tables as they were weren't really an issue for us.
