I am up for this but need a team. Fancy playing in Period 2 :) Viking a go-go ???
Lord Stead has been joined by the War Doctor, if anyone else fancies making a third for them, please shout.
Allies for armies in pd 1 - are there any restrictions beyond the dates and the indicated hungarians?
Allies have to be within the dates stated and NOT Hungarian, but otherwise, go for it
Lists to madlemmey@hotmail.com by 3rd May please.
Any chance of an email from all who have entered please, not getting a full list from MKWS financial chap...
Is it divided into two groups of five or just one big group of ten teams?
Turn up on the day and find out....
I have no idea how Will intends to organise it. I would imagine Swiss Chess based upon team scores and a random draw for the first round - but perhaps there is some other magic way of doing it.
