The only way I can think of would be for all their opponents to refuse to play them, but then they would get a "Bye" and their opponent would score zero for that game, so the offender could end up highly placed.<br /><br />I wouldn't recommend "Derby" as a UK show to visit from overseas. If you are looking for one later in the year, then Colours or Warfare would be better.TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-33103824680429971502013-10-02T16:19:36.802+01:002013-10-02T16:19:36.802+01:00It's jerks like your difficult opponent that m...It's jerks like your difficult opponent that makes me not want to even appear in tournament areas at conventions. Yes, I have met a few of them in my day, and they ruin it for me. Give me a nice friendly game any day.<br /><br />I really must get over to the UK for a show one of these years. I would enjoy very much meeting a lot of you from blogland and TMP. Can't make Salute in 2014, as my travel budget for the first part of the year will be eaten up by a trip to Paris for the memsahib and I for our 20th anniversary, but maybe Derby.J Womack, Esq.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14400879353685357966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-317675489434775352013-10-02T15:16:36.159+01:002013-10-02T15:16:36.159+01:00Jesus!Jesus!The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-54044412845169369852013-10-02T15:15:37.575+01:002013-10-02T15:15:37.575+01:00Jesus!Jesus!The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-10609804933057729792013-10-01T15:42:03.910+01:002013-10-01T15:42:03.910+01:00When you say "difficult", do you mean li...When you say "difficult", do you mean like Ray?The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-22490439823936657712013-10-01T08:32:28.719+01:002013-10-01T08:32:28.719+01:00Sounds like you had a great weekend.

Guillaum...@ Seb - yup, they were very good players. Guillaume was a great opponent and we had a fun game and a good chat before, during and after.<br /><br />@ Mike - I wonder if he can actually find anyone to play him outside of the tournaments. If he acted like that at most clubs, he'd soon run out of people willing to give him a game.<br /><br />@ Gary - both curries were very nice indeed, although the Saturday night ones seemed a lot milder than they should have been. <br />As for Mr Difficult, I think his identity will become obvious when I post the AARs.<br /><br />@ Ray - apart from that one game, it was great :)<br /><br />@ Anne - the tournament scene is quite important to some gamers. I'm not particularly into competitions, so only do team and doubles tourneys.<br /><br />@ Phil - it hosts the "Worlds Teams" for a lot of rules - FoG, FoGR, DBMM, Flames, WAB, Impetus, WRG 6th and 7th, Bolt Action, Armati, moderns (not sure what rules) plus some smaller games. Some of the tourneys had more teams than others - I think FoG and FoGR probably accounted for about a third of the games between them. Some of the tourneys were individual rather than team.TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-63262444808603917502013-09-30T22:53:47.401+01:002013-09-30T22:53:47.401+01:00Wow, I didn't realise Derby was so tournament-...Wow, I didn't realise Derby was so tournament-heavy.

So far, he's the only opponent like that in 4 tournaments - everyone else has been great, even when beating me hand over fist.<br /><br />Ian - likewise, especially after Comrade Trotsky stopped me attending last year preventing us meeting back then.<br /><br />@ Clint - I did enjoy the weekend (apart from the Sunday morning).
