Double One--My FAVORITE Tournament

I've been all over Europe over the last few years and been to a lot of ASL tournaments.  They've all got character and no tournaments are the same.  Some, like Lyon, Paris and Copenhagen have their distracting cities surrounding them.  Conscripts has its bucolic German countryside and incomparable beer.  Italy has a great laid back atmosphere and lots of great food.  (I will also add that Copenhagen has the world's sexiest airport security simply because my wife doesn't read this.)
But my favorite is Double One in Chelmsford in Essex, the UK (where the witch trials started.)  I'll admit that I am sentimental because it is here that I scored my only tournament win--in the D or E division--and because I was there the day after Brexit which may well preclude me from ever returning...

What makes this tournament great is the lads.  Here are some of the pictures from 2019.






















Derek Cox does the planning and its pretty laid back, but there isn't a lot of fannying about when it comes to ending scenarios on time.  Pete Phillips (who runs View from the Trenches) is also a regular attendee (and, I will have to say, my whippin' boy.)  Lots of good friends at Double One.  This is the tournament with the best sense of humor!
