Blimey, lots of Orks here! Plenty of good fights coming...
Warren, I take your point. But I really don't like the idea of semis and final. I just find that 40K can be so reliant on match-up and scenario that it's fairer to play a 7-game league so that these issues balance out.
If there are different opinions I'm happy to put this to a poll just like the painting standards.

if you'd rather have one big league, perhaps you could set certain dates to have played each game by, perhaps one per month, and then you know you'll be done in 7 months, although if you have two leagues it will be done in 3 months for each league and then the semis and final could be done in the same month, and all done within four months.
i.e if you do this and start next month you will be done by end of the year
however, the choice as organiser is of course up to you.

Looking at the entrants list most are regulars and a lot mainly play GW - I think we could rattle through this by Christmas easily if we start in September and perhaps say matches not played in this time are forfeit. I really feel the SFS and ECW suffered from becoming to protracted (for which I am a bit to blame but this time plan to prioritise the 40K) plus it means any final or presentation could take place around the AGM. Also would minimise the overlap of time of plying this under the current 40k rules as I think new ones are imminent.
On another note I think orks are great fun to play against so happy to see a few armies.

Ben - again its your organisation of things so do what you will but we really don't want the lag of games as we have had recently. There are other things on offer such as the WAB campaign, practices for WFB tournies, the MTG Pauper league etc.. so hopefully some people won't be dipping their fingers into too many pies! If they do you are going to be in for a long slog if you go with 7 games to play in a league. I know that Julie won't be able to come to some Tuesday's because of parent evenings and 6th form presentation evenings that have been scheduled for our kids.

So when are we starting this? Beginning of October would suit me from a point of view of getting some practice and painting in.

Ben this is your show so when do you want this started? I suggest you ask people to get started in sending in lists to you for you to verify. However you would need to send in your list first (as is the custom) if you are playing in this to someone else to check. Are there are volunteers that would like to check Ben's 40K list before everybody else sends them in for him to check?

Ben & Warren, I'll check Ben's list, if you like, being an Ork player. So that its fair, I suggest that we both (Ben & I) send our lists to Warren and when Warren has both of them, he then forwards these on. That way I won't see Ben list before making a final cut on mine and vice versa.

PMs are flying to Warren as we speak to finalise a start date.
In the pack I said I'd post my list up on the forums so that's the plan. I've got no issue with everyone trying to pull it apart - if I get it wrong I deserve abuse!
There's a chance I might be using Chaos Daemons instead but that's to be confirmed. Once the dates are confirmed I'll post up timescales.

So whenever you are ready I'll be your spy / hostage bridge! Then I will send them on when I received both. Job's a good'un! Howver Ben if you wish for people to see your list then fine I suppose its your show.
