Dudes - you are all making valid points.  Now stop hijacking my thread with sensibleness and get back to the childish jibber jabber that is my mainstay!

Thanks for the vote of confidence.  Can I take it your entry for the competition within a competition is that "Simon has every confidence that Hunter ...... will finish 3rd at Britcon".

If so I am content that we are already well on course to return to an acceptable nonsense quotient.

Now checking to see if there is any correlation between ranking and those leading the charge to the breakfast buffet. This could rock the established order.

Hunter,
I can't find a post deciding whether we are playing three hour games, as suggested, or the 2.45 hrs plus 1 to 15 minutes?
It might affect army choices?
Lance.

[Hunter]

3 Hours plus/minus 5'minutes is the current thinking.
HH

[Simon Meg-Meister]

As per Skulls.
Should be showing on BHGS system that way.

What difference does it make ?

[badhabum]

morale ?

[nikgaukroger]

BHGS site says:

DURATION
All games will be 2hrs 45 minutes plus a 15 minute variable.

Just make it a flat 3 hours. MeG doesn't need variable and its just an annoying thing for the orga/umpire to have to keep an eye on at game end.

Hi Everyone,

Hi folks  - re  Fridays game  - Friday:     Rolling start from 6pm (or sooner if you wish), last start 7:30pm. Last bound called around 11pm

In prior years names were put in a hat when you arrived so could on with games on the Friday rather than wait for your opponent to turn up  - can this be done this year ?

Indeed that is the incentive to get cracking on the Friday evening. Would like to see it done this year?
Lance.

[nikgaukroger]

That what I understood by "rolling start" - its the Britcon norm isn't it?

Was always a giggle from the orga point of view seeing people trying to time when they put their name in the hat to try and get a good match up
