good start, though loses some punch by you posting it on TalkCreatureBowl.com.

33 Firebreather Skaven 67
34 JammyDodger Orc 64
35 Munson Halfling 63
36 Hudson Norse 53

Puts Stick up to 12 and 2nd place I think.

And Gegg's moving into some kind of contention with a 5th at MB and a 7th at PKQ.

AFAIK Wilf, Stu, MagicDave and Gumb0 have only played one UKC tourney so far.

Manjina still reigns supreme...

As a second title, I wonder what the results would be like if you took each person's best 3 finishes, but only allowed one best place finish per race to count? i.e. if someone had 1, 3 and 3 with Necromantic, 15 and 21 with Skaven and 47 with Humans for example) then they would score 1, 15 and 47.

That would rule out anyone from powergaming their way to the title with just one team and so give a truer sense of who can play and who can take Necromantic (or a.n.other living dead team

)

So the winner would have taken zons, lizzies, undead rather than undead undead undead?

Is there anyone you particularly had in mind there?

Many people have pursued the path of the powergamer this season and failed. I say hats off to those who have done well, regardless of what race they've played!

can't change the rules half way through imo

would make sense for next year

if only I had 3 painted teams...

And I wonder who such a rule change would benefit? A certain nameless bald Hartlepool powergamer perhap?

I'm astonished

I would've expected more unity within the slap-headed community!

On second thoughts, I agree we need a shake up of the UK Championship. Only entrants over 6'5'' who have used lizards and humans this season should be allowed to compete

Grumbledook · Post by **Grumbledook** » Thu Apr 23, 2009 2:10 pm

I best take lizards to thruddball then huh pippy!

And a couple of boxes to stand on....

Wightlord · Post by **Wightlord** » Thu Apr 23, 2009 2:23 pm

Thats 6'5 as in feet, not inches Grum.

Grumbledook · Post by **Grumbledook** » Thu Apr 23, 2009 2:36 pm

i'm easily 6'5" if I don't slouch

Wightlord · Post by **Wightlord** » Thu Apr 23, 2009 2:47 pm

With your arms in the air?
