**UPDATE** Thank you to everyone who made it along. It was an amazing day! Congrats to Borilla for 1st place! Ginjasy got 2nd. Most casualties went to Ginjasy, most touchdowns to Blackduke. Mintybiscuit won the stunty cup and Bryan Beasley got the coveted and hotly fought after wooden spoon!

Thanks to you all, the event helped raise £6281 for Cots for Tots, which is a massive amount itself, but it has also pushed out total raised over all our marathons to £30k!!! A massive thank you from all of us at the 24hr board game marathon for helping achieve this!!

Hi there. Could you put me down for this please.

(also, I don’t think the link is posted up correctly on the Tournament Calendar page - it just links through to a blank page)

That's because I didn't format it properly. Fixed now.


The rules pack mentions using the NAF tourney rules; is this intended to be a NAF tourney?

On such short notice, I'm not looking to make it naf sanctioned. It's less than 8 weeks away and it conflicts with Thrudball. I just used the same pack that Simon had for last year as that worked quite well.
