Oh ye of little faith!

Just to be clear folks - no changes to lists are permitted once they have been sent, only minimum minor modification to correct any author errors!  Keeps it all above board eh.

In the unlikely event that I make a boo boo and approve an illegal list then it will be corrected by the minimum necessary for the next game.   I hope this won't happen obviously and I am checking the whole list including notes and running the lists through a fresh army builder as part of the process.

I hope to be able to declare 3/4 correct lists this evening.   If we can keep this momentum going we will be looking good for runners and riders in plenty of time for some decent banter!

Hunter,

You almost had me reaching for the Army Builder ......

but I'm not even looking until at lists until it's confirmed that the games are 3 hours, not 2 1/2 hours.

Crank up that computer then pal.  I can officially confirm that MEG central has approved the move to 3 hour games for the basho.

Website has already been updated.

A bit needless IMO. Will encourage last minute submission 

[mad lemmey]

Is your list locked in Hunter? 

[Robin]

Mine will be sent last few hours in fact it depends on what happens at the one dayer on the Sunday Battle of Belisima So might be a day late  !!!!!!

[marshalney2000]

Hunter's list is definitely submitted, finalised and checked. It is also normal practice that once a list is submitted then it cannot be changed unless an error is present. Has been this way in competitions for years.
To be fair to Hunter, he works on the basis that the sooner lists are submitted then the sooner you see runners and riders. Checking lists is a time consuming process. It is usually the case that those who submit late ore often the ones who moan loudest about having to wait for runners and riders.

[Robin]

Would be better if list deadline was 17th.
1 day Skulls practice event on 16th was arranged ages ago.
Personally dont mind seeing R and R a couple of days before. But  I'm one of the few that would rather not know 1st round draw until the day of the event.

[marshalney2000]

To be honest, I am not sure a last minute decision based on a one day tournament is the best acid test. One game with bum dice or just bad luck might turn you against an army that otherwise is very good. Each to their own.

[mad lemmey]

It might explain a lot about Robins choices though... 

[marshalney2000]

Not I would not be as unsubtle to say that.

[Robin]

LOL I could of course submit a couple of lists and let you know which one LOL

[Hunter]

Up to 6 lists now received basho go-ers!  2 approved and 4 to be checked tonight!

At this rate we will have the runners and riders out in plenty of time for some meaningful banter!

Hunter

[marshalney2000]

Hopefully you have mine.

[Hunter]

Yes John, I have yours.

We are now up to seven - yes seven! - lists received.

Keep 'em coming basho go-ers.

Hunter
