Loving that snow covered field! I've used tiny pieces of styrofoam to simulate snow. Not nearly as nice as your field cover though!

[Capanther]

I bought it from tudor...i think they have 3 sizes....i bought a cheap board that i could just leave it on....

[Daryl Collins]

Nicholson Joker: “Where does he get those wonderful toys!?!”. Looking at these pictures is like looking at the old Tudor catalogs, if action shots were the order of the day. The snow field… are you kidding me? What a great touch!!

[Capanther]

Well hope to finally get in the championship game tonight...bills and 49ers are ready .....i always look forward to the championship game....my mind is already trying to decide what type tournament to do next.....for years now ive been doing the single elimination tourneys.....but im thinking for the next one im going to try a double elimination setup ...one for the old nfl and afl.....least my favorite teams wont go 1 and done like they did in this tourney.....but anyway...its a great hobby we share and im thankful to tudor for this forum.

[Capanther]

Super Bowl
