42 coaches gathered in the glorious sunshine, some arriving on Friday night, some Saturday morning, some in tents in the garden and some in B&Bs in the lovely seaside town of Bognor, but all ready to play Blood Bowl. With ages from 9 to 49 (and beyond…), they competed over 6 rounds, with the bottom 4 in the last round competing in Dockbowl, which is BB on a ship. In between rounds there was a lot of food, a lot of drink, a bucking bronco, a cake-eating competition, a water-spattered game of Dodgeball, the amazing Thrudball auction and more Saturday than you can shake an axe at. A good time was had by all, and the winners were…
- Winner – Mad975 (Chaos Dwarfs) from Italy, as part of his BB world tour, and he was also nominated for Best Painted, and took the 6 nations prize on behalf of Italy over France. Superstar!
- Most Touchdowns – Sann0638 (Slann, with 13 and +7 net)
- Most Casualties – Thor87 (Dwarf, with 32)
- Stunty Cup – Buggrit (Goblins, 22nd)
- Best Thrudling (U18) – Enderman (Skaven, 24th)
- Dockbowl Champ – Dementor (Undead)
- Best Painted – Thor87’s Santa Dwarves (see pics below)
- Best Auction Item – Stig’s Orcs, which were 3rd in the NAF champs best painted
- Best Newcomer – Touchdown (Dark Elves)
Sorry if I missed any! Time for some photos, and the full standings are at the bottom.
