Hi all,

5 days to go until the Waterbowl Weekender! Get those applications in for 6 games of Blood Bowl, all the thrills of a tabletop weekender without having to be social! Get those beers in, and spend some quality laptop time.

I know I do bang on in the blog section. But I promise you'll not hear too much more from me*.

*Not a promise.

All the important details below!

Cheers.

Waterbowl Weekender

Hi all,

The next tournament in our Online NAF series will be a little different. Fed up of the cold weather? Crashed out of the FUMBBL Cup? Trying to shift the post World Cup blues? You need the Waterbowl Weekender! The event will last for one weekend only, so make sure you mark your calendars for the 28th / 29th November 2015 NOW!

The Waterbowl is the home of Manchester's tabletop league, and every February / September, coaches descend on the North West Gaming Center for the Waterbowl and Stunty Slam tournaments. Our online tournament winners will win a free ticket to the relevant event (group winners to the Waterbowl, Stunty winners to the Slam).
