Hi Epic folks,

I am happy to announce that the London Club Derby is making its return in 2016!

Two clubs have signed-up, the Central London Wargamer Club and the South London Wargamers. This makes it a exciting rematch to last year and we are looking forward to see if the SLW can defend the challenge cup.

The date is booked in for Saturday 23.04 at Dark Sphere. 10am start, £10 sign-up fee.

Both clubs now need ti muster a team of 5 players, including a team captain. The captain will then see his team through a 1st round pairing system where both clubs match up their players against each other, based on the army lists chosen.

The deadline for announcing your team and the races played is the 1st of April.

This years event structure is the following:

Round 1: 3000 points
Lunch Break
Round 3: 3000 points
Round 4: 3000 points

*edit: both clubs agreed on 3x 3k matches

Each team must present 5 unique races, not counting sub-factions.

After the first round, players will get paired using a swiss system. Each games result will be added to a 'club pool', resulting in an overall total that will determine the winning team after all rounds are played.

The victorious team will gain the right to hold the challenge cup, fill it with booze and proudly display it at their club till they get challenged for it next year.
The loosing team will receive a special wooden spoon price. More info on this soon.

There will be a demo table available on the day, no own miniatures needed.
Please note that anybody is welcome to come along to spectate, chat with both clubs and celebrate our favourite game.

We are all very much looking forward the the 23rd!
See you at the table.

That sounds just right, Rug.
If SLW are in again and we can muster a fourth club then we would be al set

Tanelorn was also mentioned before - perhaps someone contact both those clubs directly

I'm in for clwc.

Good grief! I need to shed some pounds before the next one, that picture is less than flattering...

I'll see about mustering a team for SLWG - details on dates would be great as soon as both months could be fairly busy.

I guess what it comes down to is if people would prefer it to happen on a Saturday or Sunday?

Count me in
I think a Saturday would be better for those travelling by Public transport(probably most of us)

Yeah, on second thought i am also leaning towards a Saturday which makes travel easier and the booking fee for DS lower as well. On top of that we are more likely to see more people walk into the store which gives more exposure to the awesomeness that is Epic. *a reminder to myself to get a demo table going again

More opinions on that matter?

Saturday is also better for a post game pub visit.

Well, i am one of the organisers for SLWG, so i should play for them

Whether i'll actually be able to make it at all though will depend on when it is - April is pretty congested weekends wise, and there's quite a bit of stuff on in May as well already!

As to day, generally i'd say Saturday is better, but granted getting DS on a saturday can be difficult!

I can play for Guildford!

Depending on date, I could potentially muster 3 players. While not a club we are our own micro group.
