Post subject: Coupe des Quatre Nations VII ***POSTPONED***
*** Sadly, because of current events, we will postpone the Coupe des Quatre Nations until 2021.
We coud have gone putting on the tourney à la Chaos Cup, with masks and distanciation, but it would have meant admitting a limited amount of people and playing the mask-and-sanitizer police all weekend, which wouldn't have been fun.
We will be back next year, with the same attitude, fun and glittery prizes!

--------------
It's the seventh edition of the Four Nations Cup! To be held at Pub Randolph, 408 Rue Notre-Dame, Repentigny, QC J6A 2T1, on September 12 & 13.

Fred do we need 11 players before getting a Star Player or do they count towards the 11

No. I always liked Star Players and always made them available in your "starting 11" for this tourney.

A word of wisdom:
Warzone Montreal, a gaming convention, also puts on a BB tourney the same week-end.
We are not associated with them;
Coupe des Quatre Nations is the only NAF-approuved and GLAM Series tourney for that weekend.
People do as they wish. I just wanted to make everything clear.
They asked me, Dan and Simon Maltais to organise their tourney. Even with my arguments (free venues, all money given back in prizes, etc), they decided to go on against our well-established and well-run tourney. Good luck to them. I'm confident we've established something fun!

They are being pretty aggressive too: advertising on the Facebook BB Community page and all.
We'll do our own selling.
I have to rework the FB event page so it can be public. Will do that as sson as I can. This might mean double invites for some folks. Sorry in advance.

I have not seen them post anything on the BBc fb yet but will keep an eye. Very unfortunate that they decided to work against you. Hopefully it wont negatively impact your numbers too much.

***IMPORTANT UPDATE CONCERNING WARZONE'S TOURNEY***
Contrary to what was discussed previously, the organizer decided NOT to be an official GW tourney, so Slanns and 3rd party minis are allowed.
I thought it was important to make the correction here, since one NAF member accused me of smearing this event by saying such.
Carry on!

Hi everyone,
As far as updates go, I don't have a lot: Public Health still hasn't ruled on bars/pubs for the Greater Montreal Area, so situation is unclear on that front.
I am giving myself a few more weeks to decide/know what we do with this year's edition.
As for why we are taking this tourney off the island, my friends own the Randolph Pub in Repentigny. So better rate, more prizes, parking (!!!) and I encourage my friends at the same time.
