Two edged sword that Tim as then the top players get free win that may influence the results.

Honestly Bye's are the least good solution all round.

I think Consul Avenging Angel getting the Friday bye seems reasonable (if he's happy with that), but that otherwise they should be random.

CAA - We are at odd numbers at the moment - Dave had suggested standing down and just umpiring. Several of us have said that he should still play and we run with byes. As you are commuting each day it was suggested that you take the first round bye rather than having to travel back on the Friday night.

What normally happens in the off times? Fri - Sun evenings? Is there a tradition of people going out for a meal or a few drinks or do people do their own things?

I'm combining the trip with visiting and staying with an old friend in Manchester who I haven't seen for years and I'm trying to decide whether to just catch up with him in the evenings or to add on a day before or after to catch up with him.

Friday your game shouldn't start before 18:00, but if everyone is there we can kick off earlier.

So Game one won't finish before 21:30, so it's a drink at the bar and bed for most :)

Sat is a meal somewhere not too far from the venue. Last year there was some board gaming after that. Though game four on Sat can run till 20:00 if required.

Thanks for that both! One last related question is roughly what sort of time will the event finish Sunday including awards and such?

In other exciting news my deadly war machine of death arrived in the post today :) I may be borrowing an army to use but it’ll be nice to have something painted by myself and it will kill you all with its deadly claws! Or maybe you’ll just avoid its slowness and/or kill it in the first turn with shadowswords and make me sad…

GlynG, depends really. Last year we all finished early so we had an 'Epic Only' awards ceremony and all got of a bit earlier, around 16:00 I think? Other games are scheduled to finish by 16:30, so I think the main awards start at about 17:30 and are done by 18:00 by memory (help here others).

And the time has come for you gents to email your lists to tournaments@epic-uk.co.uk

Thanks.
