After the success of the previous Waterbowl Weekenders, we are delighted to announce that the 5th Waterbowl Weekender will be taking place on the 20/21 February 2010, in Manchester. This year's event will be hosted at the CTF Building on Grafton Street, Manchester, which is part of the university. The feedback we had on this venue last year was fantastic, so we are very very happy to have secured it again :) For those who did not attend, the CTF is a great gaming venue with, amongst other things:

*Air conditioning
*More than enough space for up to 50 players
*Up to 20 parking places onsite (and there is parking nearby)
*More than one toilet (and they're clean )

Apart from clean loos, what can you expect? Well:

- 2 days of top quality gaming & entertainment (including saturday social)
- Great prizes (thanks to Tritex and Shadowforge)
- Some unusual prize categories
- A chance to take part in the Stunty Cup (The Waterbowl is the spiritual home of the Stunty Cup)
- The opportunity to try and 'Beat Brendan'! The former back to back winner of the Waterbowl has still not lost a game at the Waterbowl over the last three years. There is a prize for the first person to take him down.
- The opportunity to become King/Queen of the Watermonkeys (if you take advantage of the Watermonkey discount and attend the Waterbowl & the Monkeybowl)

and much, much more!
After the success of the first four Waterbowl Weekenders, the Waterbowl league in Manchester is delighted to announce: the Waterbowl Weekender IV.

Watermonkey Discount

After the success of our teaming up with the Monkeybowl (in Hartlepool) last year, we are again offering a special offer price of £27 (NAF) if you wish to attend both of these tournaments (£32 if you are Non-NAF). 12 games of Blood Bowl for under £30 is not to be sniffed at. Not only do you get the chance to attend two great tournaments (for nearly half the price of the BB GT), but you also get the chance to be King or Queen of the Watermonkeys! This prize is awarded to the best performer across the two tournaments. For those interested in competing for the unofficial title of UK #1 for 2010, performances at both of these tournaments count for the final rankings.

For those interested in MonkeyBowling too, the date will be confirmed soon.
