um u know bevan if me and craig decide to go down ur more than welcome to the lift (u remember us the people who give u lifts to aldershot, the guys with the hair that live 10mins from u, the ones who have already said yes to getting down their shall i continue )

The Tournament will be Block 3 as that will make things interesting

As for Tournament rounds, what would people prefer? I was planning on making it 45 minute rounds.

Whilst I appreciate your issues Hanzo, i'm sorry but I cannot tailor an tournament to fit you guys. I've given plenty of notice for this tournament and already changed things to accomodate you once. If people don't mind 30min rounds, fair enough but personally I don't think 30mins is enough. I don't want to sound harsh but there are other people travelling to this tournament and I have to take their oppions into consideration.

If people could let me know what they want I would appreciate it

personally would like the 45min rounds but wouldn't be too fussed if they were 30min rounds

Way to sit on the fence there Mark.................

I appreciate the problems the Cornish guys will have, I will have them too as I have to travel by train also, but I'm deffinately in the 45 Minute camp. The way some decks play 30 minutes would just lead to 0-0 draws, how exciting..............

but steve u can beat all of us in 20mins so why wait around, tbh would love 45 but i will be tryin aggro for first time in ages so will die very quick

Nevermind I've managed to change my traintimes so taht round time's not an issue anymore( But 12:00 start is)

Thanks anyways guys.

See you all there.

Cheers

Hanzo

45minute Rounds it is then

where on earth are you travelling from? have a look on the national express website and check train fares on there and compare seperate singles to cost of return as if i was to do the trip to exeter from where i am in south wales it costs about £45 for a return but £25 if i do it as 2 singles

oh and anyone ordering tickets to travel by national express if you are booking online register to the website and then use the promotional code COUNTEN to get a 10% discount of your fare if it says code is not valid just google national express promo code or discount code until you find a valid one but if you are booking soon that should work as it was valid on the 10th feb

I doubt i'll be going as the travel times are a bit ridiculous i'd have to leave here at about 6am to get there for 11am and returning at 8pm would get me home 9.30am sunday (yeah not kidding on that one the train before it is just after 7pm and would see me back before midnight but who knows if everything would be finished by then) so i'm going to pass and just thought i'd help you guys save some cash to spend on cards instead

ooh should say the promotional code is only valid for coach fares not trains but really if you travel to events regular get yourself a coach or railcard they cost but the savings you make will pay for the cards on their own

Anybody want to add anything to this thread?

Maybe some hype???

Or a last roll call?????

Gah.

Cheers

Hanzo

How bout EXTRA EXTRA!!! READ ALL ABOUT IT!!!! FIDDLESTIX BOOKS TIME OFF TO COME TO EXETER TOURNEY (as in I told the missus and she said it was OK )

Hurrah!!

For those interested, Steve (the shop owner) has recommended the follwing accomodation!

The Edwardian is supposedly really nice and right at the end of Clifton Road, although not the cheapest.
http://www.edwardianexeter.co.uk/

I think this is the nearest to the shop (being maybe 15 yards closer than the Edwardian).
The Helliers, 37 Heavitree Road, Exeter, Devon, EX1 2LG Tel: 01392 436277

This is on my bus route in in the morning (and a lot cheaper).

Ugh no room at the inn. Trying option 2 today...

For those planning on attending, here are the details for the Store

http://www.cliftonroadgames.co.uk/

There are contact details and a map on there

Looking forward to seeing everybody

Ok Dave I've come up with some more serious questions:

PLEASE ANSWER!

1.Is set 12 legal for thsi tourney? I hope not we don't have much time to collect etc.

2. By the same token is march's prize support legal ( I.E Heel snipe etc.)

3. Apparently it's still starting at 11:00? According to my friend ( Nick.) he ranga nd you or the store said it'll be on at 11.

Please confirm taht it's delayed until 12.

PLEASE!

Hanzo said:

As Set 12 won't be released before the tournament I can't see how it could be legal? What makes you think it will be available some time in the next two weeks? Just curious as it doesn't even appear on the system at work and we are the main distibutor in the UK for it.

As soon as it hits March 1st the prize support is legal, Heel Snipe has been technically legal since I gave it out at the SF Property Nats last year, but hasn't really seen much play. The only reason the cards wouldn't be legal is if Dave decides that people haven't had sufficient chance to get their hands on them before the tournament.

Also Will the march STOG take affect seing as it COULD Be like 2 days before the tourney.

I honestly think it shouldn't.

1) As Steve said - March's Prize Support is Legal

2) Tournament will be starting at 12:00 - I imagine i've confused Steve at Clifton with my constant schedule changes

3) March's State of the Game - Depends what happens. Frankly I can't see much happening in it, certainly nothing immediatley jumps out at me for being Banned

Cplwilks said:

Yeah that's cool hell nothing might get banned...

But what if something were ( Let's say lord of the makai as an example.) banned in the march STOG and the STOG in question was like 2 0r 3 days before the tourney would it still take effect?

I'm just worryinga bout last minute deck changes but your the scout in charge so I can't argue

Bloodrunstrue said:

If there were Bannings 2 days before, I would probably allow them to be played due to the time

What would other people prefer? I like to make the majority happy so if people wanna let me know

SO nothing's gone.

thsi tournament's gonna be fantastic requiring I can actually get my group organised

See you all there.

P.S would like a roll call.

Going:

Myself

Dan.B

Steve.B

Eggle

perran

Nick

Anyone else?

If people could post, that would be fantastic - give me and the store owner some ideas about numbers expected!

If anyone has any other questions please just ask!
