UK Masters 26th to 27th May. Games Expo Birmingham

[FearLord]

According to the first round pairings that were released, and me being bored, these are the relative proportions of factions being played:

1) Cryx 16.38%, 19 players
2) Legion/Trolls 12.93% each, 15 players
4) Circle 12.07%, 14 players
5) Khador 9.48%, 11 players
6) Menoth 8.62%, 10 players
7) Cygnar 7.76%, 9 players
8) Retribution 6.89%, 8 players
9) Skorne 5.17%, 6 players
10) Mercenaries 4.31%, 5 players
11) Minions 3.45%, 4 players

I drew Cryx (hello to Mike Taylor, wherever you are!)

One of those Circle players is actually a Cygnar player...

Good to see its still using the format of champions.

Recounting, I got 9 and 14 again. Did someone switch then?

Richard Deane (Table 36) pointed out on TWF that he's playing Cygnar, not Circle. Don't think the pairings were updated tho.

Do all big tournies post the scenarios ahead of time? Surprises me.

[Ysthrall]

Well, I'm looking forwards to this, although I have little experience playing vs Cryx.

The scenarios posted is darn useful, although that does lead to me sitting here thinking "so for scenario 1 I want list A, unless I'm playign against Q in which case I want list B, but I'll want to save list B for scenario 3..."

Is this just me?

No, that's perfectly normal paranoia, everyone in the universe has that.

Not that I'm aware of. But being as the lists are now locked, what's the harm?

[Warcaster Feiss]

I think the motivation for posting scenarios up beforehand is that the Masters is running to a VERY tight schedule, particularly on Day 1 which we're not expecting to get a dedicated lunch break.

AFAIK, we'll be given a pack on the day with the 7 scenarios in order, should lessen any questions to the EO's on the day in that respect.
