Last time, the tournament was almost exactly 2 hours long, was it not? And I think that included wandering round all the local shops and buying all their blades

Yeah but the tournament would have finished earlier if I din't get lost in john lewis
I've been checking for the weekend and it's looking like some light rain but then again acording to weather guru's of the bbc it's supposed to be raining here today and there isn't a cloud in the sky. So it looks like our regions weather is predictable as usual which means still bring those brollys people.
It's been lovely and sunny over the past couple of days - hopefully it can stay that way just a little longer...
Early this morning my grandma suffered a stroke. Due to this Im moving the tournament forward 1 hour to it now starts at 12PM it will not go past 2PM. This is so I can visit my grandma tomorrow afternoon with Spoonigan.

There is a map from St James park metro station. Ill be meeting Spoonigan and a few others there at 11:30
1st Sam (isnt on this forum yet.....) (He won a Rock pegasis)
2nd TraceKaiser (Won a Flame Saggitario)
3rd Newt, Unicorno
Im happy I went 6-2 beating Sam in round robin and beating kaiser too but he got revenge in the semis (should have changed B to SD)
Pity Black_Rose decided not to play today because im sure that he would have got to the finals or won. Thanks for choosing to help manage the tourney with me to day.

I'm guessing we're just waiting for the people who weren't registered to register before we update the points??
The weather was a bit of a pain, I don't think many of us were able to feel our hands by the end of it haha, but it was still a good afternoon IMO. Definitely looking forward to whenever the next one will be. (:
