Here are some of my pics from the DO, hope you all like them.

Image
Trav, Draco, and Manuel

Image
Everyone at "Hotel Draco" fltr: Draco, Laraigne, Hellraiser, Mme Draco, Manuel (missing hair??), Traveller and Oliver.

Image
On the train heading out to the DO

Image
Is it an alien invasion?? No (well maybe a German invasion), it's the gang in front of the DO venue.

Image
A couple of Dutch NBAers Duke Jan and Mepmuff

Image
Ramsey (Norse) with Sputnik

Image
Image
My first game was against the Brassbowl champion, Fearless Fleabag and his Dwarves. I also played dwarves and beat him 4-0 in TDs and 5-0 in CAS.
Image
Image
And for those who are skeptical about that claim, here's the proof, ranked number one and playing on table one after the first round!

Image
Some of the first round action
Image
Lucy seems happy to be playing.

Image
The Glittering prizes; the DO champion's trophy on the left and the right is the Dutch champion's trophy (highest finishing Dutch player)
In the background is the special Dutch Open pitch that was available to buy for all participants

Image
Image
Second round on table one against Odious Khan and his beautifully painted Khemri. Lost 2-0 in score and 0-3 in CAS.

Image
Image
Third and last round of day one I played Planlos and his DE team. Pulled out a 2-2 draw but won the CAS battle 2-0.

Image
Geggster and Del (Longfang) going head to head.

Image
Dinner with the Germans (and Draco) in a Chinese restaurant near Legendz on saturday night.
Image
Even though it's not officially called Legendz anymore, the sign is still there.

Image
Some pics of the scene at Legendz on saturday night.

Image
Image
Day two, sunday, I play my host, Draco and his Ogre team that was inappropriately called "No One Can Beat Me!". I beat him 2-0 in TDs but we tied 2-2 in CAS.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
The best painted team finalists, voting took place between the first and second games on sunday.
Longfang's Necromatic team took the Best painted award.

Image
Maybe not as well noticed, but the drawing for the NBA legacy team 2005 was also held between the last 2 rounds, draw made by Norse.
Image
And the winner is....Tojorub!!

Image
Last round had me playing another dwarf team coached by Martoni. He was able to pull off a 2-1 win with a late TD, can't remember what the CAS count was.

Image
The final round on table one.

Image
Lucy seems justifably annoyed by Draco.

Image
Yavatol, organiser of the tourney, makes the final awards.

Image
Redfang playing ogres takes most CAS award
Image
Evil Git, Best Sunday comeback!
