I was told it would make it to the NAF site, but hasn't yet.
I'm going to exercise mod powers and put the link in the OP

Bit bonkers that it was shared to Twitter and not here, which I understand if the "main" location for the NAFC 2020 event discussion? Takes 20 seconds to attach a file guys!

Even more bonkers it's not on the official website of... The NAF! You'd think they'd be a visible area on the homepage promoting the tournament but, again, nothing. Real shame how little effort goes into promoting one of the biggest tournaments in the world.

If you want to donate hundreds of hours of your free time to doing the job, please put your hand up. Otherwise tone down the rhetoric please.

To be fair, Leap has probably spent hundreds of hours of his own time to organise, advertise, and run one of the biggest one day events in the UK. Just because he is not involved in this tournament does not mean his observations don't count. In fact, I would have thought that his opinion would actually be worth listening to. Especially, as from what I can see are very valid points about recent communications about the NAFC.

Probably also worth saying that I have put my hand up to help, and it hasn't been high-fived (or whatever you do to a hand that is up).

To be fair dude, i'm pretty sure Leap designed and produced the new NAF 2020 rules pack document....

He did indeed! :D

Apologies for being slow on this - Team twitter was fantastic getting the rulespack up asap, its now in the OP and should hopefully be on the NAF website soon.

Also a quick reminder the early bird discount for the NAFC ends in a little over 6 weeks. Hopefully that gives everyone a bit of time after Christmas to pay up and save themselves £5.

Hi, I have to renew my NAF membership by the 13th of May, would this tournament renew my NAF membership as it does for new members?

Payment sent :orc:

This is unclear to me, my membership needs renewal by the middle of June. Does this mean it has to have lapsed before the tournament for me to have membership included?

Either way it seems wrong for some existing members not to get a renewal when others do.

Appreciate some clarification!

The NAF Championship gives out free membership to new sign ups to the NAF like many events, but as in previous years the NAF staff will be on hand and it is with them you may chose to renew your membership for £5 and get the first grab of new gift.

Apologies for the mistake guys! Rulespack tweaked to account for this.

Thanks to the raft of new entrants too! Just to remind you all, only a little more than a month left on the discounted early-bird discount, and if you want to guarantee a room at the hotel that needs to be done before March next year too!
