European Epic Championship 2015 Birmingham UK 30-31 May

Apologies for the lack of French, after the 1st European Championship in Berlin we are now starting selling tickets and gathering teams for the 2015 event. It would be great to have a French team there. Any questions my username is the same on taccoms or email at tournaments @ epic-uk.co.uk

The 2nd Epic European Championship will take place in Birmingham UK on May 30-31 2015 at the UK Games Expo.

VENUE
The UK Game Expo at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole http://www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk/ This is a large convention with lots of traders and tournaments held in the conference facilities of the hotel. Epic UK have held a tournament there for the last 2 years. The hotel is at Birmingham International airport and there is a free shuttle bus from the airport itself.

COST
Price will be £24 per team member (which includes entry to the Expo) which can be paid to me via paypal or bank transfer.

TOURNAMENT
Space is at a premium at the Expo so we have a limit of 16 tables. Therefore we have space for 8 teams of 4 players. Of those 8 places 6 will be reserved for national teams initially, the other 2 are open. If for example 8 Germans are interested in coming then 4 could take their national slot and 4 an open slot. The open slots will be filled on a first come-first served basis.

Each player will play 5 3k games, 3 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. All rounds will be all the members of 1 team vs all the members of another team, for the first round the matchups within teams will be drawn at random after that it will be done on a Swiss basis (for example the Swede with most points plays the Finn with the most points, the Swede with the 2nd most points plays the Finn with the 2nd most points etc etc). Scoring will be done using the Epic UK scoring table.

For each round the score for the 4 players of a team will be added together and if they score more than the score of the 4 players they were playing the team will receive 20 bonus points.

The final score for each team will be the points scored by each player in the team plus any bonus points.

If we have 6 teams then each team will play each other team once, if we have 8 the first round will be random and then matchups will be determined using the Swiss system.

All terrain will be provided for the event in accordance with the Epic Armageddon rulebook.

ARMIES
Each team of 4 can only use a race once per team, legal armies will be all the lists here http://epic-uk.co.uk/wp/army-lists/ on March 1st 2015. Lists must be submitted by May 7th. All armies must be fully painted.

PRIZES
Several companies have offered us prize support, rather than the usual prizes for 1-2-3 etc these will be distributed during the event for various accomplishments (first titan killed, first transport shot down etc.). The top 3 teams will receive similar trophies to the Berlin event. There will also be prizes for the best army and most sporting player.

ACCOMADATION
Rooms at the venue http://www.hilton.com/en/hi/groups/pers ... .mc_id=POG are on sale now currently at £66 per night for a single and £99.30 for a twin. These rooms do sell out. Their also a large number of other hotels in the area.

Any interest in a French team for this?

If i understood well we have to find 4 players to be in that event??
If that the case i' m interested in.
Y a t il des personnes motivées pour aller ferrailler en terre étrangère??

Yes 4 players to make a team, if you can only manage 2 or 3 players we could provide local extra players

Le billet d'avion n'est pas ultra cher, 220€ aller/retour.

Mais avec les faux frais et l'inscription au tournoi, on doit tourner à un week-end à 400€, trop cher pour moi pour faire uniquement du jeu. Dans 5 ou 6 ans, why not?

Cheaper hotels are available nearby

I'm very interested too!

Je suis chaud bouillant cette année, mais effectivement il faudrait monter une équipe!

Clem avait l'air partant l'année dernière

Julo and Meg

If only two of you want to attend we have some other countries in the same situation so could combine 2 countries teams

@Steeve54:
I'm trying to motivate some players.

I hope we can get a full french team but not sure.

If not, your solution will probably be the best.

@aux français:

UK, germany, scandinavia, austria, hungary and (hopefully) france too

Allez les gars, ça risque d'être super intéressant. La France se doit d'être représentée parmis toutes ces nations de joueurs epic!!!!

Bah écoute si c' est gérable (timing) pour moi je serais bien partant.

Super, as-tu une idée de quand tu seras sûr?

Si on se dit qu' on y va je commence à me programmer ça dans la semaine, ce WE je bosse et du coup je statue définitivement oui/non mid semaine prochaine

Suite aux messages de Meg et Clem, je vais regarder ma disponibilité pour ces dates. Si ça marche ce serait bien cool

Great, nearly getting to a full team

Any decision from the interested players? If only 2 or 3 players can come then we have UK players who can join you

Really need a yes/no on a Team France by this weekend

We' re doing our best to organise but we don' t know each others in real life and it' s quite hard.
I think we're 2 really enjoying coming but i can't be sure right now we'll be able to do it.
I understand you may not be able to wait but if it's not possible to wait a clear answer count me as not coming.

Thanks, when do you think you will be able to give an definite yes/no ?

Unfortunately I will not be able to come for the Championship in UK
Maybe next year !

So les loulous,
Pour moi c'est gérable financièrement et planningostiquement . Bref ça passe.
Par contre aller me peler les miches et profiter de la gasto....nomie anglaise tout seul bah ça me tente pas du tout.
Donc y a t il des commandants d'armée qui ont envies de faire prendre l'air à leur troupaille?
Meg?
Who else??

If full team before 15/02/2015 you can be sure i'll come to see what Birmingham looks like. If no full team i think i wont come

Meg?

C'est pareil pour moi, c'est ok financièrement et planningostiquement
Et comme toi si c'est pour être tout seul, c'est mort.

Bon là, on serait plutôt 2.

Personnes d'autres?
Clem?

Hello,

Dsl mais ça va egalement etre sans moi cette année, à mon grand regret...

If just Julo+Meg can attend we could definitely provide 2 more UK players to make up a team

Alors Julo, qu'en dis-tu?

Moi je suis partant!

Allez Banco!
On se contact par mail pour faire les résa avion toutça toutça
