Formats :

* UK Championships will be a League Format.
* Each player will play each other three times

[Kostas O]

I love the Cup format!

[Steve Camber]

Not that I ever substitute players.. but how long has this been a standard rule?
-No Substitutions Before Kick Off

[Torchiador]

I'm sorry guys, I would have loved to be there but I had some unforeseen expenses. so for this year I will miss a Uk Kick Off trip again...
Whatever happens, I hope to see you all at 2014 World Cup.
Good luck to all the attenders!

[Steve Camber]

SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!

[Ely]

What sort of time is everyone arriving on the Saturday then? And I'm guessing with the limited numbers we won't be running until really late on the Sunday right?

[Steve Camber]

I expect I'll be arriving about 4pm for hardware setup.
The sunday schedule above is probably still accurate enough. We'll just up the number of times we play each other

[durban]

Im getting there at 4, room is ours (provided no one else books it) for 5ish.

Sunday is still open to suggestion, as we simply don't have the numebrs to get anything set in stone.

We could do x3 or x4, lets work this out on Sat.

Mark

[Ely]

Right, 4pm it is then

[Logos]

I can bring x1 Amiga and x1 TV.

I should be at the hotel before all of you as I am picking Chris up from the airport.

[Ely]

Durbs!

Can we have a JFF Atari ST tournament on the Saturday night? I'm not going to bring it if there's no reason to. And it does rely on Camber bringing his KO2 disks, as I haven't got access to mine.

Also we're going to have to find time to have something to eat on Sat night as well I assume?

[durban]

Mr E,

In the past we tried to sort food out but to be honest with 5 of us there on Sat its probably a free for all.

There is a Pub next door that maybe around 5.30 we can go get some food there (gets a bit busy after 7 with drunk people obviously!)

the bar has a menu as well and there is a Maccys over the road.

As for Atari yes we can have a JFF tourney on that but in reality it may be a bit much for you to bring it just for this especially if we end up doing something else.

I know Andy wants to go out for a few drinks in Birmingham (presumably after 10ish) so may be worth bringing a shirt and some shoes just in case

[Ely]

Food at 5.30 sounds like a good plan to me. I'll just bring the ST, I've only got to stick it in the back of the car, and I will bring the monitor anyway as it'll take a SCARTed Amiga.

A shirt and shoes for going out, what is this the 1990s?
