If you have no intention of coming, please refrain from voting so I can get the most accurate picture possible.

Below is a list of 2004 NAF tournaments that took place in North America and the 4 majors (in bold). I would imagine 2005 will be similar...If TO's want to update dates for 2005 I will place those dates in bold. If I missed your tourney, my humble apologies - please just let me know to add it. I also added a few dates that I am blocking out (i.e. SW Celebration)

There was talk of moving The Beantown Brouhaha from July. I had a lot of folks tell me it was too close to GenCon or ComicCon, so I am listening to that feedback.

January - none
February - Halfling Dinner Mug (7/8 ), Canadian Open (21/22), Dungeonbowl (28/29), Harrisburg, PA event in 2005, Opus' RI event in (26/27 2005)
March - Three Kingdoms Challenge (13/14)
April - Star Wars Celebration III (21-24)
May - Blood Bowl (8/9), Baltimore Games Day (22/23), Memorial Mayhem (29), Gken1's Washington DC tournament (14/15), Star Wars: Episode III (19)
June - Sourcerer's Stone (2004 event - not planned for 2005)
July - Kudzu (17), Golden Skull (17), Alberta Apocalypse (31/1*), Beantown Brouhaha (31/1*)
August - *2 tourneys above crossed into August, GenCon (20/21)
September -DragonBowl (3/4), Spike! (18/19)
October - Death Bowl (16/17)
November - Chaos Cup (6), Baltimore Grand Tournament (20/21)
December - none

Mel-
Maybe just make it earlier in July. The month is pretty wide open. Unless I am mistaken the The Golden Skull in Canada as well as the Alberta Apocalypse?

Also, don't forget that Bampf was planning an event for Febrary. (Not that this impacts you...just to mention for those of us who are also planning events and are going to use your timeline as a tool. Very Happy

)

-Rob

EDIT: Scratch that...I see that the Golden Skull is in Madison, WI. I don't know...I voted for July, but might change to April in light of it being WIDE open.

Early July And it will be a high priorty for my 05 calender along side the Deathbowl.

As long as it's not the same weekend as the Death Bowl or Spike!, it's fine with me.

I haven't planned yet to cross the border next year, but if i do it will probably be for your tourney and certainly not for the Chaos Cup (too badly organized) nor the GenCon (held at a con).

Could you hold it someplace other than Boston??........... Very Happy

Sorry, but all the big tourneys seem to be held in eastern NA, oh well

Eary July also has the 4th...I would think that I'd have to avoid that weekend which puts me right near ComicCon...Am I wrong about the 4th?

Torg if I move away from Boston you'll get your wish Wink

Keep in mind that the 4th of July (Monday) is a holiday in the US and that the 1st of July (Friday) is the equivalent in Canada. I don't know if that helps or hurts your cause. I think it should help.

Thanks, I would have missed the Canadian equivalent Embarassed

I think you would be safe with the 9th and 10th. or 8th and 9th.

I vote for whichever month's Gonna be the Hottest.

You may want to check teh regular GW calendar too, if you're gonna shoot for the Harvard Square Store for hosting. They do have to support all those other less than worthy GW games

It looks more and more like November could be a good choice Crying or Very sad

Taking a bartender class this week to make some money during the lockout!

I don't think there will be a Sourcerer's Stone Cup in Minneapolis next year, since the organizer (me Mr. Green

) has moved to Europe.

Post subject:

I thought that might be the case, but didn't know if The Source (I believe that was the store hosting) would still get a tourney together.

Right now I am leaning towards June 25/26 or July 9/10. It gets the Brouhaha further away from GenCon and a lot of folks seem to like the June/July timeframe...strong objections?

That should work ok for zinak and I and any others we can drag along with us... Otakon drew away some of our anime nerd BB players last time so maybe the date change will mean a few more from Harrisburg.

Not to steal any of Melifaxis's thunder, but I am hoping to host a tournament in Rhode Island the last weekend in February.

Having gone 2-1-1 at GenCon, my Norse team has a renewed spirit! Smile

To further cloud everyone s schedule we re looking at second week of Feb for our Harrisburg tourney.

Will be booking my holidays this week, depending on what weeks I can get off, I might coem check this out (wouldn't mind coming to Beantown as I've never been there before). My main plan is to go to GenCon, but might be able to fit in another tourney, have to check the cost of plane tickets. What's the approx cost for hotels in the area?

Melifaxis - Jan 03, 2005 - 09:30 AM

Probably about $100/number of people in the room. A little less if you will have a car and can drive from a bit out of the city.
