Bunker Bowl V - the results.
Blimey - that was hard work!
As the name of the tournament rather cleverly suggested, this is the 5th Blood Bowl tournament I have run since 2010 and it ended up being the biggest by far. Despite a few dropouts in the final days, I had 39 coaches come along to roll dice and see who would be the Bunker Bowl V Champion. Due to the odd number of players (or is that a number of odd players???) I needed to step up as spare player to round things up to 40. I was very pleased with the mix of guys turning up to play as we had a couple of NAF Presidents, some tournament pros, a lot of keen local coaches and a good number of guys playing in their first ever Blood Bowl tournament. Quite a few travelling coaches filled up the rooms in the local Rose and Crown pub so there was a good crowd there enjoying their evenings playing board games and drinking.
The first day went very well but I did find I was getting stressed trying to keep things organised whilst also playing. Overnight I had a chat with one of my Bunker friends who kindly came along and took over as spare player for two rounds on the Sunday morning / afternoon. It helped me out as I could sort out the judging for the painting award and take some photos of the day.
After six rounds, we had some winners!
That's Bunker Bowl over for this year. Hopefully I can run another one next year!
