After the warm reception (ho ho) that the debut outing received, I'm pleased to announce that the first weekend of December 2009 will see the return of Flame Bowl, once again hosted at New Century House, in Manchester City Centre.

But it's freezing!

Hush you. That was all a misunderstanding. This year will be lovely and warm, I promise.

OK, so what's it all about?

Brought to you by freakish mutant bloodbowling entity that is Flame On, The Flame Bowl II will once again be a two day, team based affair with teams of 4 battling it out for the title, currently held by the infamous Team Paincake, "the Nicest team in the World" (tm)

Team Based? But I've no friends!

Ideally I will be looking for people to enter in teams of 4 - however, don't worry if you can't quite manage this, just let me know that you're interested in forming/joining a team (there'll be a separate 'Teammates' thread in Tournament Discussions) and we can sort it all out from there!
Everyone will be playing as individuals for the first 3 games on day one, then on day two, the 4-strong teams will be paired off according to overall performance.

Still a Good Excuse!

The other important thing to know is the event is going to be a charity fundraiser for Cancer Research UK. In conjunction with my work, who have promised to add £400 to the total if we can contribute at least that much, I'm hoping to beat last year's total of £1060 raised for this excellent cause - and still have a bit spare for some pretty nifty prizes, too.

So do I get some dodgy dice?

No! there's nothing wrong with Flame Bowl dice, and you should harshly chastise anyone who says otherwise. But yes, there will be dice, along with spot prizes each round, Flame Bowl Dugouts, Flame Bowl Pitches for the winning team and a fully painted team for the overall winner. Oh, and the Stunty Cup, of course.
