Being A Tournament Newbie
It’s been a good couple of years now since Matt and I made our debut on the tournament scene. It was the Freebootaz doubles and rather miraculously we placed 3rd! Ever since then we’ve struggled to replicate that performance whether in singles or doubles play. However, the main thing for both of us is the joy of playing competitively. I often meet people who are playing in their first tournament or even sometimes those who have come along to watch because “they don’t feel like their ready for a tournament just yet”. This article is aimed at those people in a bid to expand the UK tournament scene so that I don’t just see the same old faces (you know who you are!). So what can you expect at a tournament then? Well frankly it depends on what you expect from it. Personally I attend tournaments to play somebody different and make me really think about how to best use my army. For others it’s the painting competition and some just like the banter
