RULES
Each vote will appear on the Yarkshire Gamer FB page and the Yarkshire Gamers Reet Big Facebook Group. I will not share the votes elsewhere on FB, but feel free to share onwards if you think there is interest.
Each match up will have its own vote and one vote will be started each day, I can't guarantee a start time due to work but I will try and set them off between midday and 6pm Yorkshire Time.
There will be an explanation of the organisers meaning included on each of the votes as some definitions have had to be considerably shortened to fit on the graphics below.
Each vote will last 72 hours, the hate with the most votes will proceed to the next round. Any draws (yes it has happened) will be subject to a 1 hour penalty shoot out vote at a time TBD but prior to the start of the next round.
Please enjoy the World Cup, we've had some great fun over the years doing this. Let's have loads of comments and interaction but please be polite with each other. Some will no doubt fail to see the humour in this and that's fine, but it is fun and Yarkshire Gamer might not be for you 😄
This was always designed to be those little things that maybe are unique to you and was inspired by the Wargames Room 101 feature from the Yarkshire Gamer Podcast, a perfect example would be Giles Allison's entry "Unpainted Flag Edges" it's a small thing but for some reason it sends my blood pressure into space, the bad thing is that now I've mentioned it, you won't be able to not see it again.
Team Round Dice for the win, from your none biased organiser 👍
Thanks for joining in and I'll see you at the start line later today
Regards Ken

Round 1 Match Up 3
Round 1 : Match Up 3
Potentially a straight forward choice but you never know, this is a World Cup of Pet Hates after all, everyone hates cheats but a pile of different Counters behind a unit, that can drive you mad.
Cheats - those who break every rule possible to win, they use weighted dice (the dice in the toilet story on the Yarkshire Gamer Podcast is a classic) they use modified tape measures, argue about rules and then bend them the next move, it's not big and it's not clever.
Excessive Game Counters - often associated more with board games but it creeps into our hobby, X Wing is a classic none Historical example, hit, sheild, power, targeting etc etc markers piled up to the depth of the death star behind your ships. But its a thing in Historical Wargames too, multiple casualty Counters, next to an order and a charge marker, maybe a disorder marker it makes a beautifully sculpted set of terrain (with hills) look like a game of backgammon. Maybe just maybe it tips yoir scscales
