The first Sporting Colours SUBBUTEO Tournament

[The Large One]

Anyone want to take part in a Subbuteo tournament? I am organising one right here on the first floor of SC Towers.

Tournament set-up of 16 players, split into four groups of four. Each group would have six matches, all played in one evening - so the groups would be played over four evenings. The top two from each group go forward to the quarter-finals, played in one evening, with the semi-finals, 3rd place play-off and final being held in a pub function room or something. a trohpy would be awarded to the winner.

£10 per person to enter, covering the cost of the trophy and some liquid refreshment. Not exactly sure when I will host it, but am looking at something like March-April.

Bring your own teams if you can. I'll supply everyone who takes part with a copy of the rules.

I just want an idea of who fancies taking part. Give me a wave if you are interested.

= consider it
= probably
= yep, deffo up for that.

I think I still have Hoddle, Waddle and all from my 1987 Cup Final set. They could do with a run-out.

But I fear I may be too distant these days to play. Sorry, and good luck.
Can we say I did anyway, and triumphed embarrassingly easily?
Cheers!

Would love to but unfortunately will be in Hong Kong .. but looking at your entrylist everybody will be playing in blue and white stripes .. could be a tad difficult to play and ref !!

Consider it.

NB You can usually find the old style players in Snoopers Paradise, if you need a set of players.

Yes but you cheat

And you kick the table.

And he walks into your shelves when he gets excited.

Blimey, what a terrible cunt.

 

[The Large One]

Anyone else?

For the tournament, not the shelf-colliding acts.

I thought the free beer may have been an incentive.

If you could arrange regional heats, somewhere nearer, then I would definately be up for it.

I would have to come heavily disguised though, as the thought of meeting a bunch of middle-aged guys in a room above a shop to play Subbuteo, might be construed as, well...a tiny bit sad.

I would also have to lie to my wife about where I was going. Maybe tell her I was going to a dog-fight or to visit a brothel?
