Talk Fantasy Football

Here are the pics from the Three Kingdoms Challenge held in Tampa Florida on March 18 and 19.



Firday night get together at a nearby pizza place.


Saturday morning at the Temple Terrace Community Center.


My first game was against Phil Bowen's "High" Elves, Mr. Fancy Pants and the Dirt Rock Nancy Boys. I win 3-2 on the last play of the game when an elf that just intercepts a dwarf pass falls over and injures himself while trying to dodge away with the ball. My runner scoops up the ball and walks into the endzone for the win. CAS were 2-0 for me as well.

Phill was easily distracted though.


First round all orc match-up with Snew's Orkchids playing Miami Gabe's Pink Hoochies.


More first round action.



Second game was against Dio's Norse team, the Titan Phillies. won 2-1 and got 4 CAS (he didn't get any).



Not sure why the bad pics, but played Xtreme's skaven team, Rous and beat him 2-1 and 5-1 in CAS.


The whole gang plus a couple of local kids at the bottom left who decided to get in on the pic.



Down in Ybor City at the Acropolis Greek restaraunt.



Game on! Air hockey challenge at Gamesworks.



Joe (Lawquoter) enjoys a stogie as others play darts at the Irish pub.


A trip to Ybor wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Castle. Saturday night is quite the freak show (and I'm not talking about Snew here)


Sunday morning and Jim (Old Man Monkey) takes a break before the tourney starts.



First game on Sunday is against Gabe and his Pink Hoochies (playing on the Orkchids home field). I managed a 2-2 tie (was the first to be able to score on him), wasn't able to get any CAS (though he got one on me).


More Sunday morning action.



Lunch time we all went down to a local BBQ buffet, chicken and ribs and the beautiful Florida weather, can't get better than that.



My last game was against my roomie for the weekend, Sean Newboy and his Rat Bastards....I mean Skaven team, the Galley Maid Marshrats. He couldn't fail a dodge or GFI roll (at least very few and none that were critical). He one 4-1 though I beat him in CAS 3-1. My only loss for the tourney, helped vault him into second place.


Gabe from Miami won the Gumpta Cup (the TKC trophy) finally bringing it back home to Florida for the first time since the tourney started (though it will take some time before the French taint is fully removed )


Sean Newboy finishes second and with most TDs


Xtreme's wife Jenny finishes with most CAS (played khemri)



The rest of the week I spent relaxing at Busch Gardens and at Clearwater Beach. Sun, sand, and bikini clad babes, can't get better than that.

Great fun had by all and was even better this year in Tampa. Great job by Jim (OMM) to put on a fantastic tourney.

man, I missed this tourney big time!

great pics torg. man i need to lose about 20 lbs, but I already knew that.

Thaks for the pics Torg. I'll remember this one for a long time.

Though fewer people from "far away" turned up this time, I think it was a better tourney than last year, I think that Jim did well to move the tourney to Tampa from Orlando. Great tourney, too bad no one stuck around afterward...ah well I kept myself busy.

It was a great time. I would've love to stick around longer, but I need to save some time for another tourney or two.

I couldn't make it. It makes me sad to see all the good people I met last year.

Good news : I got the money to make it next year Le Gumpta is coming back to France.

Looks like all had fun, but there appears to have been a distinct shotage of alcohol consuption!

You obviously missed the pics of the lunch at the BBQ place, there are pitchers of beer on the tables. And there was beer flowing at the lunch on saturday at the deli we went to (no pics for that). And of course there was copious alchohol consumption in Ybor (at the restaraunt, at Gamesworks, at the Irish Bar and of course, at the Castle)
Sorry Mike, I know you're trying to rationalise it to yourself that you didn't miss out on a good time since you weren't able to go, but it aint true, just ask Snew and LQ.

BTW, we did miss you and Rachel.

man, my liver still hurts..........

OMM, Snew and I did our very best to drain Tampa of Guinness. I got pics of some drinking, but not the notorious thursday night extravaganza.

Hey Torg .. Gabe here ... thanks for the pics -- they all came out great and you really captured the fun we had on the weekend. Our game was great fun! We'll have to see if we can play again and break our tie!

No need to rationalize anything, I'm positive that all that where not there missed out on a ton a fun!

It was great to meet you Gabe, I hope we can play again in the future, the game we had was a blast!

Great pics. It looks like a good time. How was the weather?

It was great, sunshine and 80 degrees F everyday.
