Spiky Open - One Day
We have discussed having a one day-event at the Spiky Club for about the last six months and with the Spiky Open out of the way I thought it was time we did some work on it.

Voted 1 day 4 games, not worth coming all the way down for 3 games

Re: Spiky Open - One Day
I'd agree with Valen, plus 3 games isn't really enough to decide the winner, depending on turnout you could easily have 2 or more players with 100% records. I know this could happen with four games but the extra game helps a lot.

Re: Spiky Open - One Day
Unfortunalty i think travel times ruin the chances of most of us attending one day events. For me its over 3 hours each way and just isnt worth it. Im sure a lot of people have the same problem.
It reall depends on forum interest and local players IMHO.

Re: Spiky Open - One Day
Four games would be good, although sevens or perhaps streetball would be fun too.

Re: Spiky Open - One Day
I think 4 games is doable in that Reading is pretty easy to reach from Manchester/Birmingham/London. Three is enough though.

Re: Spiky Open - One Day
well here in bristol we are looking into a 1 day Bllod Bowl open league fornat, so hopefully we can get the numbers too..
Reading is like, 1hr 20mins at 30 odd pounds two and from, so if this does happen, and its sensible priced, I would try and organise a party over for the day?

Re: Spiky Open - One Day
I voted for 5 games of BB Sevens although I'd give serious consideration to the 4 Game Swiss. Three games wouldn't be worth the travelling. Mr Brownesquire's Streetbowl idea could be a fun option too.

Re: Spiky Open - One Day
Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions guys. It has really helped me get an idea of what people are interested in. I suspect the next challenge will be finding a suitable date.

Re: Spiky Open - One Day
Interested in this as 2 day tournies are a little hard to attend nowadays.
