The dates for the 2011 World Cup are November 18, 19 and 20th 2011.

Registration update

We have two team registered for Canada. The precise make up of the players on these teams is not set in stone. But right now they are all Eastern players.

Flights update

Costs known/unknown

Tournament entry = 111 Euros = due February 22nd
Accomodation = 20-100 Euros per night = 30-140$/night
Flights = Ottawa: 1000
Montreal: 1100
Toronto: 800

Meals = $
Beer = $?
Total = at least $1500 before spending money.

I want to organise at least one team to represent Canada at next year's event in Amsterdam.
Possibly even Eastern and Western Canada teams.

I will post more details here as they become available but do send me a PM or email if you are even slightly interested in taking part.

I am doing this now as cost/time off from work are the two limiting factors for the majority of Canadian players. Costs can be reduced by booking things in advance.

I am personally very committed to ensuring I attend.

Cheers,
Joe

Well, I would definitely entertain the idea of going to the world cup, just need to find out some of the logistics before I make the ultimate decisions.

If everyone is serious about going to the World Cup in November of 2011, I will have to rethink starting a tourney in London. Keep me posted, on any updates guys, I could just set things up for a summer tourney????

I could turn this World Cup event into a tour of europe. We have discussed going on vacation there already, so it is not out of the question.

basically with the tournament on the 18th ot the 20th we would need to leave canada on the 16th and we would arrive in amsterdam on the 17th and fly out on the 21st.

So a minimum of a 6 day trip and the flights will likely be cheaper if you do 7 days.

Taxal - Nov 03, 2010 - 07:09 AM
Post subject:

For myself it will most likely be leave the 16th late at night (overnight flight) stay at girlfriends family the 17th, then hotel for us two the 18th and 19th. Then stay and visit till the 25th. So as you guys decide which hotel you stay at I would like to know so I can get a room for those two nights. Going to be some legendary partying at night time........

Lizardcore - Nov 04, 2010 - 02:41 PM
Post subject:

I'll try to give you some tips for lowering the costs in amsterdam.

I know that the french coaches are going to rent some houseboats (can accomodate 6-8 persons, should be 20 Euro per night per person, but also allows you to cut costs on the food (kitchen available) ). The only problem is that I'm not sure how close to the venue the boats will be, but given the price of the tourney, the lodging at the tourney venue will probably be way more expensive.

Don't know if it is official yet, but the cost of the tourney should be around 100 - 150 Euro, and not including breakfast / diners.

Dam is expensive, that's a big downside of the world-cup this time. I guess you should put aside at least 1200 dollars.

And it is 6 coaches per team (West cost rules !!! )

Notorious_jtb - Nov 04, 2010 - 07:11 PM
Post subject:

Cool tips Lizzi!

I had not thought of houseboats.

There are canals pretty close to the Rai venues but don't know if they are houseboat suitable.
It would be ok to be right downtown and travel out to the venue anyway, short trip on the tram/cab.

Budgeting is the key thing.
Interesting news on the 6 per team!

A lot will depend on the team creation and advancement. Nurgle does make a lot of sense. If I am to be the #1 in the world, then I should give people a chance to take a shot at it in the world arena.

But Norse is the more dependable team. So for representing Team Canada that may be the better choice.

Like I said, will need to see the TV of the tourney and skill advancements. That will dictate it for me.

That's no knock on your game either Spazz cuz I love playing Norse as well but Glenn and Leathan take Norse to another level it seems.

I would tend to lean towards Dark Elves myself, at least initially...pending rules/restrictions etc...

Don't worry, either way you cannot be defeated by the americans and aussies, and you'll probably struggle against the euros Wink

FYI: last tourney rule:

team TV 110, 1 skill aded after each game (so 8 skills at the end of the tourney).

Flights update
Currently flights can be booked only until the 5th of October 2011. This means it will be about 6 weeks (roughly Christmas time) when we can book the flights for the days we will need. That will be when we can determine costs. Right now the flights seem to be around $1000.

Costs known/unknown

Tournament entry = 100-150 Euros = 140-200$
Accomodation = 20-100 Euros per night = 30-140$/night
Flights = $1000
Meals = $
Beer = $?
Total = at least $1500 before spending money.

So Lizzardcore has a good point.

The flight prices are different from different cities.

The best I can see for the begining of October 2011 right now are:

Ottawa: 1000
Montreal: 1100
Toronto: 800

Advantage the Soft Southern Ontarians!

Good to see such interest in the WC. Just wondering if there are any coaches in western Canada who are thinking of attending, maybe we could get 2 Team Canadas (East and West). I know the Thunderbowl in Vancouver has a large league and a league has started up again in Calgary (I think there's one in Edmonton too). I would be nice to know how many of them are thinking of going to the WC next year (though I don't see very many posting on these forums, but hopefully that will change).

I am not worried just yet about having too many players Smile

But team selection may also involve race limits, so that is why I asked what race people want to play.

If it does come down to selecting players I am tempted to do it on a regional basis. This makes sense as we may have Western and Eastern teams anyway, so we could add a central team to the mix.

But I am only going to worry about team selection when over 6 people have booked their flights!!!!

Canada has 4 slots, partly because we have so much interest here in the east. I plan to book two teams for the East on Wednesday, but I don't want to wast anyone's time so please reconfirm/withdraw depending on your your decision Smile

Chewbacca... uhh, I mean Chainsaw Jones roars his intent to accompany jtb. Princess Leia also volunteers to help out.

Basically, I'm saying that I'm in. My OSAP is almost in and Iâ€™m pretty sure that I can swing it. Ohh OSAP (Ontario Student to Amsterdam Project), where would I be without you?

Joe, you might as well take me off the list of people attending. The chances of me making it are extremely remote, unless I come into a shitload of money suddenly. I am going on parental leave in January for 8 months, and the loss of pay will be to much for me to be able to afford the trip.

I have put us down for two 6 team groups for the East. The West has gone dark.........

It may be that some further people are not able to go but I am very hopeful of getting at least 1 legit team Canada out there.

Hey Eric,

So signed Canada up for two teams so far (see below). I think we should get at least one team to go out of this lot below. I am sure we can change the precise people in each group etc depending on what happens. So far I just went for geography sort of, this is not meant to be a final split.

Flights should be available to book now so we can finalise the stuff during January for those with funds/time free for the trip.

Cheers,
Joe

Pretty easy to figure out, the 4 of us just need to get together and then give Leathan and Colin a call to see what there interested in. The only problem I see initially is Glenn or Leathan taking Norse???

Not at all jtb, in fact I would gladly let you represent Orcs seeing as your the highest ranked coach with them in CA. I was just throwing it out there as Norse, Skaven, Chaos Dwarf are solid options for those 3 players to take as they have had good success with them. I'm flexible with what I take and would even consider Undead or Necro if necessary.

Hey Leathan, that's a different 3 teams than I'm used to seeing you play although you have played Amazon before against me. With the rules that I read for the World Cup Undead and Zons would be pretty strong choices for sure. Lizards would be a little more challenging with only 3 regular skills to start with. As they develop they can become pretty strong but initially can be somewhat vulnerable. Just my 2 cents of course, whatever works best for you is what we want you to bring Very Happy

Oh, but I did get the message. That's why I brought the Chaos Dwarfs and not the Halflings... or the Weeping Wood Elves.

No worries man, and if your comfortable with Undead that's all good from my end. Guess it is just Joe and myself that need to talk now.

So far we have:

Glenn- Norse
Colin- Skaven
Mark H- Chaos Dwarves
Leathan- Undead
Joe- ???
Adam- Dwarves (What I'm thinking, unless there is opposition to taking them)

I am thinking we need 3 twin rooms, runki and L3athanlK, jrock56 and twodiceblock, leaving JTb and Zap. You don't snore right Zap?

I will do some research on the rooms, but those flights should be snagged before any more oil related political stuff happens.

Another option is staying 3 per room, will also cut on costs. The houseboats he was saying had kitchens as well which could be useful. Anyhow I'm down for whatever everyone decides on.

@JTB, You may want to consider a few of the guys from southern Ontario that have said they were going since the beginning before giving away all the slots on team 2. I believe Spazz, Talons, Anthony TBBF, and possibly Peter were all solid that they were planning on attending. Don't want you to jump the gun and have them be excluded if they were still planning on attending. Don't know the best way of contacting them to confirm but that was the last info I had.

I definitely think we need to come up with a team name that is better than Eastern Canada...will think about it and toss some ideas around to see what people think and no we will not be the Maple Leafs!! cuz they suck Very Happy

What is the name of your league that you play in Ontario? Are all you guys members of the same league or do you just play in tournaments together? We only went with Team Thunderbowl as a name because all 6 of the guys going on this team are registered league members. If they all weren't we probably would have went with Canwest or whatever as we had members on our team who were from Calgary let's say, or something like Blame Canada.

Blame Canada isn't a bad idea..."Dan's Mom's crew doesn't work without Dan being present nor does it represent any of us since Eric and Spazz aren't there either Razz

As for League names well...There is one in TO, one in MTL, and one about to begin in Ottawa but no one that we all play in. Many of the same group participate in each others tournies throughout the year though. I was thinking of something relating to every other contries perception of us living in Igloos with the eskimos and such, however most of them are pretty corny which isn't what I want.

If we did the whole mohawk idea with some team canada jerseys or something we could do "Freaks of Nature", Tundra Hawks, Frigid Canucks, tons of ideas for names just need others input as well to come to a consensus decision.

Another thing I was thinking if it is possible to co-ordinate, is having the 2 teams from Canada plan to stay in the same Hotel, Boat House...whatever we decide upon so we can get some team comraderie happening during the event. Since many of us don't know each other would be good for our own NA events as well and will only broaden our BB communities ties accross the country. Would be good for us to have a Raukus bunch to let these Europeans know there not the only Bloodbowlers out there worthy of recognition either Mr. Green

Unfortunately I'm one of the few in my league who surf all the Blood Bowl sites - well, mostly my own, this one and TFF, so I doubt most of them will read this, but I will bring it up with the crew. We are just in the preliminary stages of setting everything up so this would be as good a time as any to bring this up. I still have to pay for our tickets. Embarassed

But yeah I'd love to set this up and finally match the pseudos online to the actual faces. Having the opportunity to party with our blood brothers from the East and finally meeting that crew is going to be great. Looking forward to it. Joe has my email but in case you don't it's thunder-bowl@hotmail.com.

I like the acronym CBC, and the obvious logo joke. Even "Canadian" and Bloodbowl" are fine, but "Collective" sounds a little too commie. Wink

Oh I understand - I went through a whole Halloween party explaining that, and then of course I went through the next 2-3 months with bleach blonde hair - going from goth to boy band over night. Still a fun costume though.

Agree about the Leafs, but I never know what Leafs superfan I might be talking to on the other end so I didn't want to burn them too much. Wink

Jerseys are already in the works. One of our design guys in the club is on the job, and my Local is going to sponsor our shirts so it's going to be pretty sweet. We can obviously afford jerseys, but getting some sponsorship makes it more a proper team jersey eh? Looking forward to seeing them.

I'll get the guys to explore all options - including houseboats and let you know.

It is quite different over here compared to our circuit. Lots more fast teams and a more cautious play style.

I think we will be better prepared for having been here for next time and humans are just not a good enough race for this level of competition. No shame on Mark. We were the only team not to have a wood elf player as far as I could tell.

Looking forward to being home!

Well I thought it was great that you guys game at all and for me I'd like to see more Canadians at the next one - irrespective of your level of ability. One of the 3 Aussie teams was half tier 2 & 3 and we had a great time and finished 3rd from bottom... next time the same team may even insist on all of us being tier 2/3 teams Smile

Yeah I think if you all take 2 & 3 tier teams it could be a blast. I just meant it helps the Win column to have a tier 1 team, but no necessarily the enjoyment. But winning is always pleasant.

I for one am super happy we came and the guys all feel the same.

We definitely missed out by not playing an Aussie team Sad

Thanks to all for the congrats we had an awesome time this past weekend. Finished only 3 points out of the top 10!! Many of us finished accomplishing our team goal of finishing above .500 for the tourney. Completely differing play styles throughout the World but we made adjustments throughout and came out pretty successful in the end! Made many new friends and contacts throughout the tourney that will only help broaden the Bloodbowl community both here and worldwide. That in itself made going that much greater of an experience. Hope we are able to have a few teams represent at the next World Cup as it is an experience like no other we have ever been to!
