The first class players expect to play on the top tables that are clearly identified as such. Baggage class players are expected to stay on the lower tables.<br />The class system is a wonderful system that has been well tried out for centuries in the UK. Its good to see it alive and kicking on the gaming tables as well.<br />You need to develop a bit of cultural sensitivity Pete. Words like retarded, strange and sub-optimal, could have you in front of the race relations tribunal.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10496085752361223719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-34390354604136028742013-04-12T19:50:56.001+12:002013-04-12T19:50:56.001+12:00But if you are on the same physical table bit the ...But if you are on the same physical table bit the terrain has been moved does this not remove the problem.<br /><br />I think sometimes table 1 is used as a euphemism for in the top 2 rather than physically playing on table 1. Depends on TO and individuals. When I played Bryan on table 1 we stayed put as it was comfy but shuffled terrain.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13969580090021631625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-88961544106201568712013-04-12T17:52:45.051+12:002013-04-12T17:52:45.051+12:00You're missing my point John.

I find the way NZ tournament,in my experience, just read out from table 1 down who is playing hard to follow where you are. Was good to get a rundown of points last round at NZTC.<br /><br />When I played on the same table we just shuffled the terrain about or swapped with the guys on the table next to us. I think with 100+ players in 3-4 rooms they need to have fixed table numbers.

Most of UK would be exposed to the later - the RHQ PPV system - and I understand, but may be wrong, it allows you to collect VPs.<br /><br />I've never tried to collect VPs with the older Overlord - that's what I use for my events having been one of the two original beta testers.<br /><br />Just checked: yes I believe you can "fix" it so you could - VPs = VotesPete Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352990006052067650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-89189427115201678632013-04-12T12:09:43.775+12:002013-04-12T12:09:43.775+12:00I always did wonder about that one while I was the...I always did wonder about that one while I was there. Occasionally they would swap which table was No 1 for day two but not often.<br /><br />Mostly everyone just uses Excel for tournament scoring from what I saw, so I would guess simplicity is the main reason. Certainly noone likes Overlord in the UK and thus it noone uses it, (I believe mainly because VP scoring is always the tiebreaker/prize winner for Bloodthirster etc and Overlord doesn't include any way to record this, does it?)<br />Mealshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11734877269957694933noreply@blogger.com
