Looks doable for driving, and I am really keen on getting to a tourney in the States, but there are two factors working against my attending:

1) It is the week after my tourney
2) It is only a one day tourney

Not to mention the fact that Lagerbottom has probably given my mugshot to all the border guards in an effort to keep me our of your country! Razz

Mrs Norse has said "hmmmmph!" which usually means "OK, but don't expect any nookie that month".. Laughing

so I'm about 90% likely to attend and about 100% likely to get stopped by the state troopers for speeding on the way.. Embarassed

This is good news...for fellow attendees...and to the State Troopers who have to make their monthly quota. Smile

The turnout for this year is really shaping up well.... at this rate we will have twice as many coaches as last year!

3 Weeks Nerds!

Ok, well it's like 25 Days, so I guess "4 Weeks Nerds!" would be closer to the mark. Anyway, I am excited.

Norse, it was great to finally meet you, let a alone play. That will be one of my favorite matches for times to come. Maybe next time I'll pull off the win.

God! It's so good to be back into the tournament scene again.

Now I just have to figure out a bigger and better special raffle prize for next year!

Norse - Apr 30, 2009 - 10:03 AM
Post subject:

make a few racial specific dugouts and then do a charity auction rather than a raffle.. you might find you raise more money (plus, it would probably be quicker than calling out hundreds of numbers when half the guys lost their raffle tickets...)

I had thought about the charity auction, but I really wanted everyone to have a chance at the dugout rather than just the person with the deepest pockets.

Doing race specific dugouts is a sweet idea though, maybe do one standard raffle and one auction.

Maybe I'll do a poll to see what races dugouts would be most popular...

you could easily differentiate orcish, dwarvish, elven and have a lot of fun while doing it.. most guys coach one or more of those teams..
