Judges!

I would like to introduce you to Battlefield Forge - A tournament reports blog where we feature tournament reports forged from battlefields around the world!

Tournament reports are useful for sharing insights and experience and also to get feedback. We feature reports in a form that is more presentable and easier to read than your usual forum post report. ;) We are interested in any form of reports from any REL as long as it is educational and interesting!

Our project are also currently looking for editors and constantly looking for contributors!

Interested to have your report featured on our site?

Awesome! Here's some guidelines!

If you would like to submit a report for this blog, please send it to battlefieldforgereports@gmail.com.

Contact us if you any questions, suggestions or comments through the email above. Remember the forum protocol! :)
