What: UFS UK National Championship.

When: Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th September.

Where: Phoenix Games, 51 Church Street, Leicester.

Starts: Registration starts at 10:00, First Round starts at 11:00.

Entry: £5.00

Format: BLOCK 3 Standard Constructed, current banned and errata list will be in effect. This will be a Swiss Tournament with a Top Cut.

Prizes: Lots of them, but at this minute I am still awaiting news on exactly what they will be. There will be many promos and muchos other stuff. C'mon, have I ever let you guys down?

Ok, there has been much discussion about the whole block rotation thing straight after GenCon. As Steve H stated in the video that gives you a stiff neck, we in the UK are free to run what is a major event as we see fit. After much discussion between myself and the management of UFS UK Nats (Plc), it was decided that it would be unfair to make people start rebuilding decks now with such a limited card pool and no real knowledge of the Tekken 6 cards. It was also decided that this would be a cool way to say good bye to the block. I know this choice will not be popular with all, but that is how it is peeps.

Getting There:

By Train : Leicester is a mainline train station with many connections from the North, Birmingham and London.

By Air : There are two airports near by East Midlands and Birmingham International .

Sunday: Sunday will be the day of the top cut, but do not fear for there will be side events to keep people happy and occupied. So far we are looking at doing:

Mini-Block Regional: All the fun of a regional, but only with Five Point Cards.

Ragnar's Hammer: Not 100% certain we know what is happening with this yet, but you can only use Ragnar.

T Shirt: Not 100% certain there will be one, if you are interested or think it is a good idea please let me know. The design is already sorted, it's Cammy on a Union Jack.

Ok, that's about it for now, no doubt I will have forgotten mant things and will be reminded of such over the next few days.

As usual, if you have any problems or questions please contact me.

Can a Mod Please Pin this!!

Ragnars hammer sounds good since the first mini block deck i made a couple of days ago was indeed ragnar, and i would use him in mini block regionals too lol.

All them Ragnar's in one place GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY....

Ragnar's Hammer somewhat like gief belt I would assume, no? - So is it Legacy or what cause Blok 4 would be somewhat limited in it's awesomeness for Ragnar.

Nonsense, block 4 is perfect for ragnar. You have all the support you will ever need with ragnar, rashotep and king all giving some earth loving.

Definitely going to be there, more interested in the miniblock event than Ragnar's Hammer on Sunday (mostly because I want to try out King rather than Ragnar). Of course that's assuming everything goes according to plan and I completely fail to make the cut

Bumping in the vague hope a mod actually pins this..................

I'll be making the rounds and I'll be trying my best to organise a night out to rival that of the one I did for Worlds

We gotta party like us Brits know best

Sign me up. Kevin still owes me a drink.

I would love to come but i think i can't afford that for the moment, income taxes has just arrived and i am unemployed for the moment

Sad;y i'm in the same boat

Steve, several people around the UK have been been talking about the "Ragnar's Hammer" event for the last few months, have any of them approached you with ideas for the format?

Last time I remember discussing it, I think everyone liked the idea of all attacks dealing zero damage, and the first Ragnar to hit zero vitality wins the game. Chaos Flare would have to be banned

how about all attacks deal no damage and when you get into desperration then they start dealing damage

or just play normal and see who can beat the ragnar out of the other ragnar

How many times do you think I will have to ask for this to be pinned?

at least once more as always miss swan

Bad news on my part peoples, I have serious doubts if I can get to Nats. The reason being I went to request the weekend off last night, and found the request book at work was fully booked for requests on the Saturday. Looks like I'm gonna have words with the managers, but at the moment I don't expect to get the day off at this rate.

I am so bummed out right now... q(o_o)p

Classic.

Also i would like to see a Block 4 Ragnar Hammer, otherwise we will see cards like amy's and prowess turning up in all the Ragnar decks ruining the stabiness of it all.

I'd like to see people stop whinging about cards being too powerful, or broken, or a NPE and go away and actually putting some thought in to how the beat them, but it's not going to happen.........................

Just to make everyone really happy:

Ragnar's Hammer Tournament - LEGACY

babelfish666 said:

If you make it Block 4 all the decks will be the same and it may make for a stale tournament, which as a side event isn't what will be wanted.

I think legacy lets alot more options in. Also people will see this as a fun event and as such wil build fun decks, we hope.

Edit: Posted after Steve so excuse this

I was not complaining about how powerful some cards were, i have used battle prowess, and there are ways around it. I just dont believe that a Ragnar smash up should be over taken by the earth wall that is available in block 3. I would much rather support the idea of attacks deal 0 damage first Ragnar to hit 0 vitality wins in block 3.
