You don't really have time to do much play testing to decide who to take, but at least you can use the 4vs4 "fringe" group to playtest whatever race you do choose. My hot tip is that both strength and movement is important, in particular if you don't have reasonable movement people can escape you too easily (and failing getting high strength players you'd be wise to invest in some dauntless where possible). |

Hehe that might be a bit optomistic, but given how speedy the games are I'd like to think we will keep well ahead of the schedule. |

The new group has been created, please submit your teams there. Just like the normal SWL, the teams you use should be newly created and not play any games beyond those of the tournament.
I give you the SWL 4vs4 Leeg: [url]

And now for the all important draft. Using the incredibly complex and intricate method of rolling a number of dice to decide order (and in Clay's case also rolling to decide a random race for him) here is the draft. I was happy to see that almost everyone got their first choice, my apologies to those who didn't.
Here is the draw in order of selection (I put myself at the end in the interest of fairness):
Longshanks - Chaos Dwarf
Glutton - Gnoblar
Patrician - Wood Elf
Toonook - Necromantic
tribalsinner - Amazon
Clay - Dark Elf
Quod - Skaven
Gebannus - Chaos
DaemonicLazoth - Eshins
ansalon4 - Undead
Virral - Orcs
There is still one empty slot left if someone wants it, to avoid the need for a bye, so if anyone else wants to pick an unselected race and join in the fun, send me a PM ASAP.
Everyone else, get those teams approved and submitted (to the NEW group, not the current one!) and lets get this underway  |
your group link is teh broken. Fortunately I have skills and found my way there anyway |

By the way, the season winner will get a pennant, as well as the right to keep the 4v4 trophy in their team bio until the end of the following season.

I COULD do it, but I don't
a) have the right to edit the group info for that
b) think it should be... it is available, but it's glory should be hidden until the unveiling of the code to include it in the team bio to the tournament winner.
that way people can't "steal" it.
mind you, if they do, I can steal it back again later by changing the UR, but i'd rather not have to do that.
and the sunday KO is a friendly tournament, just a title is awarded. |

Unfortunately gregory_n_white beat you to it sp00n. If we can find one more to keep the numbers even then we could split into two divisions and have a final between the two winners to decide the ultimate champion. |

okay, if we end up having 2 divisions, each division winner will get a division title pennant, and the overall winner the trophy |

Ok, forget what I just said. Madbomber has also decided to sign up, which brings us back to even numbers. Sp00n, submit your dwarves to the group page. Gregory_n_white and Madbomber, you can both pick any remaining team, and submit them. If we have any clashes we can flip a coin. |
