Europe - The NAF Championship LIII - 17th & 18th May 2014

Post subject: The NAF Championship LIII - 17th & 18th May 2014

Hello all,

We are happy to announce the dates for the 2014 NAF Championship as the 17th and 18th of May 2014. The event will again be held at the East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham.

The rules pack can be found here : http://www.thenaf.net/downloads/NAFC2014.pdf .

But to answer what might be some of the more common questions :

* Coaches may use any painted and based fantasy football miniatures (or appropriate conversions) in their teams. This means that the 'GW models only' clause no longer applies.

* The event will be using new rules this year. Teams will be TV110, with 3 skills before game one, and 3 skills (one of which may be a double) before game four. All skills must be chosen before the tournament and printed on your roster.

* The event will cost Â£55.00. This will include lunch on both Saturday and Sunday and an evening meal on Saturday, plus free gifts and of course your entry to play Blood Bowl in the event itself. Payment should be sent to theNAFChampionship@gmail.com. If you can avoid fees please do so.

* We have negotiated discounted rates with The Orchard Hotel next to the venue of Â£40.00 for a single room or Â£50.00 for a twin room per night. The Orchard is a 4-star hotel and this rate includes full breakfast and use of facilities (including gym). This rate is available on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. To receive this rate you must book no later than three months before the event. Booking requires a code that will be sent to you after you purchase a ticket for the event.

Rooms are more limited this year (especially on the Sunday) so we recommend that you get sorted as early as possible. We would also ask that you buddy up and share a twin room if you can, as our quota is on rooms not people staying, and we can fit more people in this way.

We are again asking for coaches to send us their rosters in advance of the NAF Championship to speed up the process of registration on the Saturday morning. There is no pressure to do this immediately so please take as much time as you want to deliberate over every fiendish roster decision! But the more of these we get, the faster the queue will move come the day.

Please send your roster to NAFC.rosters@gmail.com. You may not necessarily receive a response, but please accept our silent thanks. Everyone will still need to bring two printed copies of their roster on the day.

If there are any further questions please respond below and if we can answer at this stage we will.

The 2013 event seemed to be a resounding success, and the venue went down a storm, so we hope to see loads of you there again in 2014!

Thanks
The NAFC team.

Hi Joe,
is there a cap on numbers for the tournament? Any raffle or anything for getting in early?

Cheers,
Mike

Joemanji - Dec 11, 2013 - 03:04 PM
Post subject: RE: The NAF Championship LIII - 17th & 18th May 2014

There is no raffle planned this year, and we'd have to go some way to run out of room. But we have fewer hotel rooms available at the reduced price this year so paying up early so you can book them is advisable.

Hi there!

Last year I think there was a bank account number for the payment. Now I see this:

"* The event will cost Â£55.00. This will include lunch on both Saturday and Sunday and an evening meal on Saturday, plus free gifts and of course your entry to play Blood Bowl in the event itself. Payment should be sent to theNAFChampionship@gmail.com. If you can avoid fees please do so. "

What does exactly mean "send the payment to an email address"? I'm not sure I can do this without the proper account number. Sorry if that's a silly question, but I'm not used to pay thing through the internet.

Thanks.

Joemanji - Dec 23, 2013 - 05:30 AM
Post subject:

This means via PayPal. If you would like to pay via bank transfer we can probably sort that out after Christmas.

Manuel - Dec 25, 2013 - 03:49 PM

Hello there:

I have sent the 55 pounds to the given email address. When you receive it, could you please tell me so and send the ticket?

Thank you in advance.

Hi

Relatively new to the website but I have been to the NAFC a few times as a spectator.

if I was interested in entering the tournament do I just post a payment to the address at the start of the thread and then post here?

sann0638 - Jan 03, 2014 - 05:13 PM
Post subject:

Just post the payment, no need to post here! As you've paid by email you will get confirmation by email.

Manuel - Jan 07, 2014 - 04:37 AM

Hi again!

I just bought another ticket, this time for my brother. His real name is Juan GarcÃa MartÃnez, and his naf nickname Anasarca. I hope you receive the money soon. We have already the flights and now we have to study where we will be staying.

Hi again:

I've tried to call to the Hotel for the booking, but I wasn't able. I live in Spain, so I'm not sure if I did it right. The number I tried to call was:

0044 0115 876 0862

Is something missing?

Hi again:

May we now something more about this event? I mean, there are still 4 months left but... well, I am eager to know something more. Any dice? Any photo from the previous NAFC at that place? Will Jervis attend?... ^_^

On the other hand: I think that's the eighth NAFC, right? It's because of the name of this thread. It says LIII... which means the 53th XD I think it should be VIII instead.

Impatience is killing me!

sann0638 - Jan 26, 2014 - 03:55 PM
Post subject:

Last year's event was at the same place - full reports here: http://nafnewsletter.com/nafchampionship/2013/nafcindex.html

LIII means 53 because of the BB fluff, which means that the Old World calendar is a long way ahead of ours. Or something.

Manuel - Jan 27, 2014 - 02:23 AM
Post subject:

Oh, alright. Now the 53th thing makes totally sense. I didn't know there were those articles, and I'll sure enjoy reading them.

The BB playing kids from the school, now that's a personal project I've always dreamed about ^_^

The new NAF membership gift will be revealed at the event, as is tradition. I am not party to whether it will be dice or not.

Jervis has agreed to attend in principle.

There were loads of photos. Here they are : http://www.flickr.com/photos/96576936@N02/

We have reserved the hotel this evening, but the man say us the reduce price is only for saturday. It's right ??
Because they want more than Â£110 by room for the night between friday and saturday Sad

Geggster - Feb 15, 2014 - 03:30 AM
Post subject:

Price reduction is for all three nights although there were limits to room numbers on the Friday night (which I guess could have been reached).

One of the organising committee will confirm.

Geggster - Feb 15, 2014 - 04:25 AM

Cannot confirm whether we have rooms left until Monday, but there is an extension until 22nd Feb to book rooms.

Update on hotel rooms:

The hotel has sold out of ALL of the rooms that we had at the agreed (about half-price) rate for the Friday and Sunday night. This means, of course, we have lots attending and is testament to the amount of coaches coming from abroad, but does mean the excellent hotel is more expensive for those that haven't booked yet.

However there are still (some) rooms available for Saturday at the agreed rate AND the hotel has today agreed to an extra release of rooms at the agreed rate for the Sunday night.

SO if you haven't booked yet, you have the rest of this week to book (deadline close of business on the 22nd feb or whilst rooms last). There are some rooms available at the agreed rate for Saturday and Sunday and still some standard-priced rooms available in the hotel on the Friday night.
