Woo hoo! Finally a U.S. tourney that is within a reasonable driving distance!

Count me in! that is, if the border guards let me into your country!

I havn't gotten fancy enough to have a registration link. So, if you plan on attending, please leave a post here like spaz did or leave a post on the zlurpee site. This will help me plan for food better.

thanks

I updated the address so it is correct now.

2573 S Lapeer Rd
Lake Orion MI 48360

Look for the empty store in the strip mall.

I'm coming, and a buddy of mine said he might come. He's a newb, so can I tell him that everyone promises to take it easy on him? You don't actually have to honour that promise.

BTW, I'd post on the Zlurpeebowl forums, but the Register button leads to a blank page.

Yeah, the register button hasn't worked for some time. To get your login setup, email Bryan at xtremetbber@gmail.com

Hey, maybe I can pick you up on the way through you neck of the woods. Or even hitch a ride with you if you prefer driving.

@ Spazz: Let me know what's your plan to go there (when do you go, when do you come back, etc... )

I just checked the buses. With grey hounds, I can leave Toronto at 9pm or midnight on the Friday, which takes me to Detroit at either 1am or 6:30am. What would be the best for you guys ?

The return would be at around 1am the Saturday night, so no stress to catch it.

the ticket is 110 bucks, so should be ok (I guess that would make a WE at 150 bucks altogether)

I'll keep you in touch.

btw: who's "Sol" or salomon or whatever was his name Very Happy

I am pretty certain that I can make it to this one - thanks to those who offered a place to crash, I will certainly take you up on the offer!

@Lizardcore, if you can stand me hotboxing the car, yu are welcome to come with me! Peter said he may come as well, so we may have another aroma to add to the vehicle.

I have just jumped through all the hoops to get the passport fiulled out, and will probably take a half day off next week to get to the office to have it all done in person. Passports usually get finished really quickly, so I do not anticipate a problem there.

Spazz is on board!

Sorry guys, I'm out... one of my buddies is doing his going away party this WE...

That's hilarious, Thomas must really like that!!! although when it comes to Bloodbowl he doesn't seem to like much Razz

That's not going to happen Spazz....

....not saying you won't win, but good luck crossing the border with that thing.

Yeah, Tom has great luck with that at the border. I've witnessed that fiasco first hand. Rolling Eyes

Alright, the passport is in, and so barring any major emegencies I am attending for sure!

Any Canadians who were interested in attending this tourney should let me know ASAP so that we can arrange rides, etc.

I won't be able to go after all; I've got to take my family to say goodbye to grandma Sad

But I hope that Orctoberfest turns out great, so that Sol will run it again next year.

So it looks like it will be Talons and myself representing Canada. Between us we will be carrying all those tasty prizes back across to the rightful side of the border! I will take First Place, Best Team, Most TDs, Most Casualties, and Talons can take the Bottomfeeder cup! Laughing

Do us proud Spazz. And remember you are representing all of Canada, so show them how its done.

Spazzfist - Oct 16, 2010 - 10:17 PM
Post subject:

Phew! Just got home, it is shortly after midnight and I am pooped!

Just want to give a shout out to Solomon for running one extremely smooth tournament I think some of us Canadian TO's can take a page from your book!

I am going to get my pics (what few I did take) up hopefully tomorrow.

So for all you Canadians who chose not to come to this tournament, just know that the Canadian reputation was in good hands and I went undefeated (all wins) to take 1st place. So just think: If this is what Spazzfist can do to the Americans just imagine what somebody actually good could have done! Razz

I took Norse with the following build:
1 x snow troll
2 x ulfwerner
9 x linemen
1 x FF
3 x RR

I took skills as follows:
Pre-Game 1: 2 x Block on the ulfs, 1 x Sure Hands on a lineman, Mighty Blow on the troll
Pre-Game 2: Block on the troll and +1 Agility on the Sure Hands guy, 10K banked
Pre-Game 3: Stand Firm on the 2 ulfs, Dodge on the uber-lineman, and Juggernaut on the troll
Pre-Game 4: Guard on both ulfs, Fend on the uber-lineman and one other lineman

How did Piddles do? He blew his biggest chance...... by not showing up! I called him several times en route, and then he did not show up on the day. Some lame excuse about having to work or something. I did make sure to call him in going into my last game (against Thomas) telling him that I stood a chance of winning the whole thing, just to rub it in that he missed out!

Seriously though Rod, you would have loved this tourney. for $20 you got admission to the tourney, food and beer was provided!

next year for sure, just the whole not having a place to live & all was a lil tough, I'm honestly surprised I was able to host my tourney.

I think if we do go next year Spazz we stay over that night so You don't have to worry about beer intake

I've called out the other americans. They need to "man up" and take our trophy back next year. Embarassed

Can't have those damn canadians steeling out trophies Mad

Great job spazz, that was Tom's game to win. He had such a demanding lead, all he had to do was pull out a tie and he would have won the tourney. I thought he had you in the end and walked away for a min. Then, I heard you pulled off some rediculous string of dodges with a ball pickup for the win.

Things went well, I can't complain since it was my first time out as a TO. If we have more canadians next year, I may need to get more beer.
