Don't bother Stu. Grand Melee used 4'x4' but you couldn't go within M of the back section. Save the money, it's not too hard for people to fudge it.

It's no bother, I've already got much of the MDF kicking around anyway. I'll see how I'm doing for time.

Stuart idea from the Grand Melee.
They randomised the first four rounds, hoping to pair experienced vs non-experienced players (they didn't ask who was who though,) before seeding rounds five and six.
The suggestion being to "fix" round one to give say Myself, John, Paul and Chris/Yourself, one of the newer players so it acts as intro/refresher for those guys. However I also understand the feeling that it might be giving the more experienced folks a boost, but you could make round 1 worth no points either way (just kills counting towards tie-breakers,) or reduced points to the experienced players, or something.

Interesting suggestion. I think simplicity should reign in this first event, so we'll just randomise the first round and see how we get on.
Hoping to find an extra player from somewhere so I can paper shuffle rather than participate, and perhaps then lend a hand where needed.

At the tourney we did a couple of bods I played showed interest in coming along. If you contacted organiser maybe he would know who I played and I could contact. Bit short for time, but nothing ventured...
Or someone from alvechurch. But they are a bit good!
