UPDATE: Confirmed details of Scottish tournaments in Garrick's post below.
Hoping that 2015 will see a Glasgow Tournament, so I’m doing some early prep work to see what dates are best. Based on last year, Scottish tournaments are likely to be: 21st March BridieBowl (1 day) 11th-12th July BurgerBowl 22nd August OchilBowl (1 day) There was also talk of bringing AlbaBowl back, not sure when that’s likely to be scheduled.
I’m also assuming that the following tournaments will see decent Scottish attendance: 10th-11th Jan UKTC 21st-22nd Feb WaterBowl 11th-12th April MonkeyBowl 23rd-24th May NAF Championships 5th-6th September GeordieBowl 6th-8th Nov World Cup
Am I missing any? Any plans for Chaos in the Warp next year?
I had been considering the 14-15th March, but don’t want to impact on BridieBowl. Would June or September be a better fit for the Scottish Calendar?

September appeals more than May, given the NAF Champs are in May, just feels like along way away. Would be nice to be the Scots Championship final tho'. Any reason June would be a poor choice? Not sure about being a World Cup warm-up, suspect it'll be a quite different ruleset.

Not entirely sure yet, but it follows on from a conversation with Ant after Burger Bowl. He felt something other than the standard 1.1M, 5 skills + a double was more likely to entice people. I'm contemplating a progression tournament, so essentially regular BB rather than Resurrection. Albion Coast is currently the only other UK tourny to do this. Just wondering if it might be a paperwork nightmare, but if I can ensure access to OBBLM that should take the strain.

Graham/Ant, was there any progress on the discussion around AlbaBowl and BurgerBowl?

Would be good to have some dates for those if possible. Would be keen on one or both for sure.
Mid June for Alba? Mid/late July for Burger?

Some of these newly announced events for 2015 could do with TFF threads / NAF approval. Definitely interested in Ochilbowl again this year personally.
