Ok Chaps,
The PooBowl 2 is coming in January and I would like some feedback before I post the rules etc.
Last year it was 7 games. 4 on Saturday and 3 on Sunday. I am aware that this did drag a bit on the Saturday. However we will have a laptop with the SCORE system and it will defiantly be slicker this time round.
Also Final vs No final?
So do people want 6 or 7 games. If 6 games, what are peoples thoughts on the idea of 4 on Saturday and 2 on the Sunday, so people can get an early start on the roads on Sunday?
Will be the usual poo related prizes and all coaches will receive a bumper Poo activity fun bag!
Also any other feedback on what you would like at a tourney would be great.

I enjoyed the 7 game format, and I think it worked at the Carrot Crunch as well. Not having a final at the Carrot Crunch may have cost me my first win, but I still think that having no final is the way to go as it keeps more players in with a chance into the last game.
Cause can't guarantee to be awake for either game 4 or 7.............

If it is possible for me I'll try to attend.
I didn't have 7 games throughout a tournament weekend but I'm willing to try out(with final).
Cheers

Go for 7 games and no final. Last Poo Bowl was great with 7. Loughborough can not be that far for most people not to get home at a reasonable time on the Sunday.

Just to be a pain, I am have an opposite view. I didnt enjoy a 7 game torni, and it would possibly put me off returning tbh.
As for a final, dont mind too much either way, but if I had too choose then I would go no final.

6 games deffo. I was struggling by game 7 and had to constantly remind my opponent where HIS skills were
If you want to be different go 4 & 2. An early departure on Sunday (say 3pm) may encourage players from farther afield. In 6 games, no final.

I personally don't have a problem with seven games.
3 games on Sunday is the norm, and doesn't seem to be a problem generally. Have done a 4-game saturday before and that worked well enough (as long as the venue is open til late).
Remembering skills could be a difficulty so it might be best to keep it to just one before / after each game (more than 6 or 7 skills can be a nightmare to remember).
Very hopeful I can attend this year. Would like to try out this 7 games lark.
