OK, so the layout’s not great on the tables being published online so we’re switching to publishing on pdf – you can find them here, as previously.  That page will contain latest group and individual standings on pdf, and the latest draw in html for easy searching on mobiles.

Bear in mind that for the group standing the bonus points for team wins are not added to the end (2 for a team win, 1 for a team draw), so that will come into play more today as more of the top teams have draws.  Including possibly our top table (NRW v Chump Champs), who are heading for 4 draws among them!

One of the fun bits going into round 4 is that Bretonnians are on the top and bottom tables, with the 3rd team being somewhere in the middle.  So inconclusive about their power!

We have a French clash on table 2, as they continue to do very well at this event (and most events…).  In the chasing pack are some of the rest of the pre-tournament favourites, with the Norwegian team putting in a strong showing.

Round 4 is after lunch at 12:30, with table 1 on the live stream again, and we will try to make it more stable, both physically and electronically.  Over lunch the judges will be choosing best painted, and here is a sneak preview of some of the teams in contention.

Apologies for the delay in the round 1 report – there were some technical issues which led to a manual draw for round 2, so resetting Score was top priority!

Honours were mostly even in the big clashes in Round 1 – Clique and Destroy drew with Ze Germans, and Fumbbl with Cyanide (represented by UKBBL West). Three teams cleaned up with 8 points – the Champs and Chump destroyed Team Stunty, and Tackle Zone and Team One Minute joined them, so by random draw it was Tackle Zone v Chump Champs on Table 1 for Round 2.

At the other end of the table, Team 2d6 snake eyes, who were randomly drawn on the bottom table for round 1, earned their place there for round 2!

It’s the week of the UK Team Championship, the draw has been done but is not yet public, the teams and race choices are in, and last-minute roster preparation is being done.  Let’s have a quick rundown of the event!

The History shows that you would be foolish to bet against a continental team taking the trophy – but will it be the French or the Spanish?  The Italian contingent is new NAF players led by the amazing MaD Matteo, of Matteo’s world tour fame (one of the few to have played all the Majors!), but will his inspiring leadership be enough?

That said, there are some serious (and not so serious) British teams.  Clique and Destroy are Team England stalwarts by another name, as are Gazza’s Tears, and the Scottish and Welsh Eurobowl teams are also represented.  Online play will also prove critical, with Team Fantastic and UKBBL West in particular a definite threat.

Moving potentially down the table, there are some serious initials represented by the HDSWBBL crew, podcasters in the delicately named Chat Shit Get Banged and Hard6, and a decent chunk of new NAF players, any of which could prove to be hardened veterans of tabletop league play or online competition.

Follow this website over the weekend for more reportage from your fearless reporter, including live streaming with commentary at https://www.twitch.tv/sann0638, assuming the technology doesn’t do a bunk.
