Once again it will be held at the wonderful Firestorm Games in Cardiff, over the weekend of 4-5th August. The pack is now available - YOU WILL NEED TO READ IT IN FULL THIS YEAR!! http://traffic.libsyn.com/theblacksun/BLACKOUT_2018.pdf Tickets are SOLD OUT - as the event is held in Firestorm you will be fed lunch both days (they have a kitchen with Chef!). Breakfast is available for additional cost direct to Firestorm (pay on the day). Payment is to be made via PayPal as friends & family to lunatic_pandora@btinternet.com Please note that the final date for refunds on tickets is 03/07/18. There is plenty of space (up to 100 tickets) and I would advise looking at accommodation ASAP if interested as Cardiff can get pricey. I look forward to seeing you all!

boots468 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Gutted I can't get out of working this weekend, last year was a great time. Anyone on the fence about going, I can't recommend it enough - Firestorm / Cardiff is a great venue, and Chris ran a really good tournament last time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Tomlin Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 Updated the first post with pretty much all the tournament info you'll need. I will put a pack together at the start of May. I've decided to keep a similar scoring structure to last year as it worked well I thought. The only "soft scores" will be using sports votes as first tie break again. I have introduced a penalty for non-cohesive armies. If you love super heavy soft score events, I will be running one of these in March/April next year.

Great, I will get that updated now. Keep the grudges coming Also up to 60 players including @Forestreveries as spare player which means maximum rankings points!! It's now been payday for most people so hopefully we'll see a few more sign ups as well. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
