The third round of the Northern League for this year will be on 27th July at the Halifax Club venue:

Belgrave Social Club.
277 Claremount Rd,
Halifax,
HX3 6AW

Players to arrive at 09:00am for a 09:30 start to the games.

The rules to be used are L’art de la guerre Fourth Edition 2021.

The theme for this round is: Biblical Ancient and America , Armies must be valid between 3000 BC – 501 BC for non-American lists.

Any list from the America section of the lists is permitted, but no Europeans are allowed.
Any allies used must also be valid within these dates.

Army Lists should be sent to Mick Hood (mh014c5606@gmail.com) two weeks before the event.

The venue has a bar but does not serve food and and there are no shops/cafes nearby.


The Northern League is a series of one day competitions consisting of 5 rounds. Each is a separate event, so players my enter as many or few events as they wish. However, there is also an overall championship, for which up to four of each player's scores will be counted. The cost of each round is £5 per player. This is a Singles competition, but players may enter as a pair if they wish.

New players are always welcome.

This event will consist of 3 games of 2.25 - 2.5 hours.

First game draws for this round will be based on current overall position, with the proviso that nobody will be drawn against anyone they played in the previous round. Players who did not play in the previous round will be added to the draw at the bottom based on army dates. The second and third game draws will be done using the normal Swiss system. I will try to avoid intra-club matchups where possible. Scoring will be the standard method from the ADLG website and the event's results will be submitted for UK and International rankings.

As I am not able to attend this round, management on the day will be handled by Paul Dawson.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

Due to England reaching the Euro football final, the venue have informed us this morning that we need to be finished by 4pm. We don't pay for the venue, so there's no real option than to comply. In order to try to fit everythng in as fully as possible we need to start as near to 8:30 as possible, so we're aiming for the following times for the 3 games:

8:30 to 10:45
11:00 to 13:15
13:30 to 15:45

If your opponent is there when you arrive, look to start as soon as possible.

Also, if it is pretty clear the your game is going to end in a draw with say 10-15 minutes to go, it would be appreciated if you call it early and get your scoresheet in.
