Yet another year passes by and it’s unbelievely that the NPF has been online for 4 years. The date this year was the closest it has been possible to the date of the actual launch with it fully going live on 1st April in 2008. Despite, the forum closure just under a year ago and a drop in traffic the tournament sold out at 100 players and an additional 11 alternates making it the biggest for this event. There were plenty of new faces as well as the regulars.
