The Blood Bowl Major of the Pacific Northwest and the Great White North is back!
http://spiketournament.com/
Spike! 2014 saw another iteration of the British invasion with Geggster, Joemanji, Purplegoo and eventual winner Jimjimmany, all long time tournament veterans who came out to challenge the Pacific North West and all played really well!
Thanks again to our dedicated crews from Edmonton, Calgary, Washington State and Oregon for their continued support! Hope to see you out this year! And it was also great to have Bryan aka Grither from Utah make it out again after winning the Chaos cup.
For those of you unfamiliar with the SPIKE!, the SPIKE! Magazine Blood Bowl Championship is the Canadian Blood Bowl NAF Major. Five "Major" tournments take place annually, each in a different country. They are in chronological order:
1. The Southern Wastes Scrimmage, held each year in January at CanCon in Canberra, Australia.
2. The Dungeonbowl, held each year in March in Duesseldorf, Germany
3. The Blood Bowl (aka NAF Championship), held each year in May at GW HQ in Nottingham, England
4. The Chaos Cup, held this year in early September at the Battle Bunker Chicago, Illinous, USA
5. The Spike! Magazine Trophy, held this year in late August in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
2014 sees the continuance of the one-week-or-no-more-than-a-fortnight policy between NA Majors, where the organizers of the Spike! Magazine and the Chaos Cup host the 2 North American Majors within 1 week of each other. We started this 4 years ago with Tom, with a fortnight between them in the same month. The second year Johnny and General Jason set them 7 days from each other. And this year due to fortune the Majors are back to one week in between for 2015. For those travellers wishing to make it out for a North American Major now you can try to make it out to both of them in one trip!

Well things are going very well planning for the big tournament. To whet the appetite and to stoke the fires of excitement here's a painted 3D render of our commemorative figurine. This year it's a corrupt official (the best kind) holding his golden whistle in one hand and a bag of illicitly procured gold Crowns! As a participant you'll also get two tokens of gold Crowns, bagged and ready to bribe the ref again! (The referee model would count as the third bribe).S.
