« on: July 27, 2008, 09:07:02 AM »
Folks
 
I've just sent off competition details to the MOAB organisers to run DBMM. It should be up on the MOAB web-site soon. I've asked the organisers to confirm the entry cost.
 
Details are below.
 
This is intended to be a fun and relaxed competition over 2 days, leaving the Monday free for HOTT, shopping or a sleep in. I hope you can make it.
 
Cheers

Folks

The competition details for DBMM at MOAB are now available on the MOAB web-site (http://www.motherofallbattles.org/). The cost is $30, and you can register on-line through the web-site.

So far, five people have indicated their interest in taking part, and I hope that many more of you will too. Please note, this is intended to be a relaxed and fun competition, especially if it's your first time trying out the rules.

Cheers
