IMPORTANT UPDATE ON BFB 2020
18th October
Website updated with prize and Mini details
30th September
Sadly we have to inform attendees that we've been forced to cancel the face to face version of Bounding Fire Blackpool 2020. Covid, finally, has defeated us. We tried to hold out to the final turn but those plucky broken half squads in the final victory building were eventually overcome and resistance came to an end.
However, all is not lost. Thanks to the miracle of modern technology we will move the tournament, for this year only (hopefully) to VASL. We will be running a full tournament schedule incorporating 'Friendlies/Fly' on the Wednesday (18th) and throughout the long weekend, Minis on the Thursday (19th) and the main tournament on Friday through Sunday (20th-22nd). There will be the usual range of prizes available throughout the weekend.
All will be explained farther down the line in regard to the full schedule. We'll issue full detail on format and rules in a few weeks.
We're happy to open the tournament up to overseas attendance but please bear in mind the following:
- All elements of the tournament will run through VASL and Skype. Please ensure you are comfortable with both systems. Of course, alternates to Skype can be used with both players' agreement but VASL+Skype is the standard.
- The tournament is pretty intensive (you'd expect that given that this tournament was formerly 'Intensive Fire'). Scenarios in the 'minis' are morning/afternoon. The main tournament is played over three days with five scenarios, Friday am/pm, Saturday am/pm, and Sunday. This is war...
- Timings are based on GMT start times of 9am/2pm (ish). Please bear this in mind if registering your attendance.
- Entry is 15. This covers entry to the minis and/or the main tournament.
I hope this has piqued your interest. If so, please register your attendance by emailing boundingfirstfire@gmail.com Further detail will follow next month
All the best and see you hopefully soon (albeit not in person)
