This post is in responce to a couple of people asking if the Halfling Chef is allowed at PKQ4 as the rules aer not 100% clear on the subject.
The Halflings cannot use the Chef.
I just had a go creating a couple of 110 Halfling rosters and you can indeed make a pretty tasty (  ) stunty team without a chef. Remember that Assistant Coaches, Cheerleaders and indeed Fan Factor have a more important role in games these days (ref. kick-off table and winnning the Fame roll) and you can afford a decent amount of all three of those plus 4 re-rolls and a full 14 Halfling/two tree roster at 110.
Pearlies has classically been one of the more vanilla tournaments on the scene with the bare minimum of special rules and as such will remain so as this year is the first time I've run it and I don't want to make any sweeping changes.
Don't panic, I honestly think that Halflings at 110 can achieve more than the stats of a basic Halfling would suggest and as it appears that there will be quite a few 'short teams' attending the weekend at least you can beat up your fellow 'teams of restricted height'. And besides, if you manage a draw (and god forbid a win) then you have bragging rights for a long time...  |

*PEARLIES UPDATE*
Ok, just to reiterate, we are now up to 42 people interested with 33 people paid up and guaranteed entry. I'm going to see the exact tables we are moving into the club to play on this weekend but as I have said already we are realistically only likely to make it to about 44-45 guys before we run out of room.  I mention this as a number of chaps have requested to pay on the door, or casually mentioned 'yeah, I normally pay when I arrive' and I don't want to turn people away.
As such please check your paypal account (or cheque-book) as it has to be first come, first in and I'd hate to offer chaps who want to pay on the day a warm greeting and the offer of
"You're more than welcome to watch others play and have a drink..."
C'mon chaps, if you're up for the PQK challenge then it's better to get it sorted early rather than being disappointed later.  |

One week away from the event so I have ammended the list on the front page to show only the numbers who have paid to get an accurate idea of how many players we will have on the weekend.
37!
That is 37 paid up players which means a great event with some top quality coaches including the chap who was in the Blood Bowl final last year! 
I'm really looking forward to this now, can't wait to see you guys there, hope alot of you are planning to come out for a meal (optional) and a beer (almost compulsory ) on the Saturday night. I will make an 'official' announcement about our plans next week but they basically include three choices:
* the option of going to a pretty nice restaurant for food & a civil drink
* the option of getting some quick/nasty take-away food then straight back to drinking 
* the option of straght drinking all the way
So something to suit everyone... |

Bit of an update for those using the postcode that I posted on the front page to help find the venue; the club had it listed incorrectly on their own site!  (too much 'rockin' if you ask me... )
No matter, I have found out the correct postcode, changed the front page address and have a map here:
(I can e-mail it to anyone if necessary but there may be a hint of sarcasm in regards to the reason you couldn't copy and paste it from here ).
This is gonna rock! |

Pictures courtesy of intrepid photographer Peter Pa... well Darkson:
The flash on my camera is not great but it was definitely the darkest tourney I've ever been to, appropriate seeing as it was held in a dingy rock club in Camden:
Al the Trowel looks over at Ronnies game thinking 'I wish I was playing Ronnie right now' as he faces Grotuk, the guy who would go on to win PKQ4:
Richy (bottom right hand corner) doing his best interpretation of 'Man stressed by Blood Bowl':
Valen gives his normal response to 'It's your round Gav' and Grumbledook taking a beating from Bunny Girl:
Game One on the Saturday and the two top ranked players of the event (Pearlies is seeded via NAF ranking for the first round) Pippy and Doubleskulls. Pippy thinking 'Right, 1-0 down, I've really got to step up my game now'. Ian thinking 'Right, I've spent 45 minutes of this game messing around with DC's laptop, hopefully I can just play my game now... ':
Vulture Squadron not happy about Pete from Bars taking a blitz action and Lucifer playing like a (self-confessed) tool against Pigstar:
Jammy Dodger playing Lowny and wondering why his dice have been replaced with a pile of guano:
Lycos gazing over at Darkson whilst thinking 'Hmm, Chaos really is not the best team in the Blood Bowl game':
Unfortunately as my photographer was only there on Saturday and I was playing as well as running the event on Sunday I have no pics of Sunday or the winners  . If anyone does please post them here of e-mail them to me at dwarfcoach@googlemail.com and I will host them. |
