Peter Pig HQ PBI Day.
5th and 6th of August 2006. A fantastic weekend of PBI gaming. Best thing about it was the players...a great bunch. The moral is " get the right players and you will have a good time!"
The weekend featured 5 PBI games. The Swiss cheese system was used. Not to be confused with Swiss chess. game 3 was a doubles game with a pair of players controlling each army. Matt did a great job with the umpiring. The folks were all so good that the umpire was only needed for clarifications.
Each game was allowed 2 hours to be completed.
Tables and opponents were changed for each game.
Portbury Knights from Bristol were the biggest club in attendance.

Points were standard PBI points with an addition of +30 for the winner and -20 for the loser in order to create a bigger gap. This stops a high scoring winner from eclipsing others scores too much.
