Most people play coaches sat at either end, rather than each side. In Australia I've only seen sideways play in Perth and I can't recollect seeing it in Europe. |

Hey I understand 40MM not working at European tournaments (well I do and I don't but I'm not revisiting that 'discussion' heh), but 29MM may be a problem as well? That's crazy Simon. Hope there is air conditioning at the convention centre - don't even want to imagine the potential gamer b.o. in conditions that tight. Yikes. |

You want to get yourself over for the NAF Championship one year (assuming it stays at Warhammer World) - no air-con ("the space is to big for it"[?]), and this year the ceiling fans were knackered, on one of the warmest weekends of the year - it was an event! |

I can play BB online side-to-side, but it confuses the hell out of me when I try it tabletop.
Only time I've seen it (outside of trying it once at my club) was the year Newquaybowl was held in someone's garden, and we played on picnic tables. |

I don't even want to imagine that. There is some b.o. potential in a tournament of 50 coaches without a.c. and we always have tonnes of space when hosting the Spike! A tournament of 200+ with not even the ceiling fans working - ouch.

Me too. I'm used to it on fumbbl but playing from the side on table top would also confuse me and make the game less enjoyable. If it's even a possibility I'd try to fit a folding table in my suitcase. |

ceiling fans are designed to push warm air down in winter
they aren't designed to keep people cool in the summer, though perhaps circulating the air would have at least helped a bit |

To determinated the team ranking are used all the 9 game or only the games of 2nd and 3rd day?(all 9 games are used to determinated single ranking, as in 1st wc?). |

practice both
if you play short (side-side)you will have a major advantage against the players used to playing long (ez-ez) |
