Dear All,
It is my great pleasure to announce that the Canadian Open 2012 will be held at Duelling Ground (toronto), the 10th/11th of March.
The participation fees are 15$ for NAF, 20$ for non-NAF players. That will cover the trophies and some surprises.
*Special Old Farts Option*
You can attend only for the saturday. There will be a small trophy on the saturday, most of the prizes will be for the combined rankings of Saturday / Sunday.
The subscription will still be 15$.
Schedule:
Saturday: 3 games, 11 am to 7 pm, with a lunch break after the first game.
=> to save some time, we will meet up at 10 am in Dufferin Mall Food Court to do the registration and game announcements.
Sunday: 2 games, starting at 11 am. Get a solid breakfast, no lunch break!
The rule book is available here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20577437/CO_rulebook_2012.pdf
In short:
1,100,000 to build your team, access to inducements (but not the cards or the starplayers), bribes for gobs = 50,000, HMC for Halflings = 100,000.
Then, you'll get a skill pack.
For any infos, you can PM me or Stimme, or email us bbcanadianopen@gmail.com, or call us, or come to talk to us...

Limited to 20 participants for now, but if there is a massive interest we can probably push the walls a bit
If you can make it only for 1 day, you can find a partner to play the second day (not necessarily the same team). n that case, your ranking will be a joined ranking.
Some rumor said that some bloodbowl legends might show up, such as Nuffle's son: Mr Watts himself!

It's going to be great!
As a goodie, Lizardcore (if he plays) and me will play Tier3 teams, allowing everybody sweet revenge who suffered a defeat from one of us last season.
Hosting possibilities are also plenty, don't worry about that.

@ Craig: Is that khemri ?

Anyway, you can put me down for at least Saturday. I just started a new job a couple of weeks ago and I will see if I can have the day off but don't count on it. I haven't read the rules and only briefly caught on to some team thing.

Hey Laurent,
Just read over the rules package and have a couple of questions:
1) Where are we meeting on the Saturday morning? That part got caught off (or was never put in?)
2) Are you really going to allow Tom to play? I thought we were going to try to make this a pure Canadian Open, and not let any Americans taint it!

@Spazz: Since Duelling Grounds opens only at 11AM, we will keep up the tradition of meeting in a mall before the the first match. This time it will be at 10AM (9:30AM for you) at the Dufferin mall, just around the corner. We will specify the exact location soon.
@Tom: Just a warning: there is a Catholic sunday school only five blocks away, so you might have to lower your voice a bit while playing.

Hell, I'm not really feeling any love here. I was expecting a it would be nice to see you again Tom. But no, I get the you'll "-offend some canadians spiel". Now, I am going to have to infest you guys with some Nurgle rotting (unless Adam has gotten you numbed to it) gas. Which I can generate copious amounts of with the correct diet. By the way, I have never combined lima beans and sauerkraut before. I think it is out of personal fear but I can overcome it if necessary.
J/K, I wouldn't do that kind of stuff to my favorite Northern neighbors.

Taxal, you did meet Laurent at Q'ermitt in '08 but you also met with the floor that year so your memory of it may be a little fuzzy I have to admit though, that tournament was the worst toxic experience in bloodbowl history that I recall 
Hell even the World Cup with 500+ running around it never got even close (of course that wasn't held in a basement either)

Originally Eric had announced that this year's event would be cancelled, Lizardcore and stimme were nice enough to help out with things so that the tourney could continue this year and hopefully Eric will be able to resume his regular duties next year. That is the whole reason for later notice than is usual though

Speaking of that, How bout Rod gives us a date for Warpstone eh?
Not that you can plan it around my schedule, but if you do it one Sept 22/23, i'm in. I could also pull off 29th/30th if I had to. The rest of September is likely a no go. Orctoberfest is at my place on Oct 6th. Free beer/wine/liqour at my place the night before and the day of the tourney for whoever makes it. Anyone is welcome to crash at my place as well.

Hey Lizardcore/Stimme,
Glenn wanted me to let you guys know that he really appreciated the invite but unfortunately he has to back out of next weeks tourney. He has too many things going on to miss a weekend of work this month. We may be able to recruit Stephan into coming on a positive note though! See you guys in a week!

Less than 24h until the kick-off!
There are still seats available, so if you consider a spontaneous trip to or within Toronto, don't hesitate!
Accommodation is guaranteed, too.

My rats are 2 wins 1 loss after 3 games. 5th place after day one out of 16 or so players. I will say I'm tired of playing Norse
Game 1 lost 2-1 to Norse (cas lost 4-3)
Game 2 won 2-1 to Norse (cas lost 6-1)
Game 3 won 3-0 to Norse (cas won 2-1)
The good news there are no more Norse teams left.
Game 4 Sunday vs Vampires.
Has been a fun day so far, great group of guys!

Consider this, Rod: You have achieved something few have done or will do. Here is what I mean:
In a 5 round tourney (Day 1 being 3 rounds) having 16 participants (15 opponents and 1 you) with one specific race 'X' (i.e. Norse) being represented by 3 coaches. Here are the various odds:
- Playing playing Race 'X' 3 times in a row at anytime in the tourney
- Playing playing Race 'X' 3 times in a row in the first 3 rounds in the tourney
- Playing Race 'X' in every round on Day 1 (3 rounds)
The conclusion:

Great tournament !
Thanks to Alex for his help, to Peter_Meers for driving us around, to everybody that showed up (especially from far - the Ottawa crew), to Goblin Forge and Duelling Grounds for their sponsorship, thanks to Tristan for having us saturday night, and Eric for his inspiring presence !
The Beverage sale helped balancing the tournament, so thanks to the pop drinker !
Any feedback appreciated (trophies, goodies, venue, price, etc...)
See you soon at the Qermitt, but not with ogres

I forgot, thanks to Adam for giving some substance to the Premature award
And congrats to Alex second place with Vampires
Here is a recap of his path:
Game 1: he's loosing against Craig (Khemris).
Game 2: Rebound game against Tristan (Tristan is also my only victory with my Ogres )
Game 3: Vampire Duel vs Peter_Meers.
Game 4: An hazardous roster played by Rod (Skaven) together with pouring rain allows him to win.
Game 5 (table 1): His Halfling master chef stole ALL adam's rerolls for the entire game
For the record, Adam had the Premature award: He was first after the saturday 3 games. But because of Alex, he finished 4th
PS: results uploaded, just waiting for the magic button.

It was a really smooth tourney. Maybe it is becaus eI am getting old and do not like staying uyp so late, but have to say that I really do like the five game format as it allows us more time to do our socializing on Saturday night (although I did go out with the GF).
Really surprised to have done so well with the Khemri as I did. If I had won my last game I would have come second place! But I take comfort in the knowledge that the only guy who beat me was the guy who won the whole tourney! I was also surprised to see what a strong Opponent score I had! Go me!
Hope to see you all out at the Q'ermitt!

Are you talking about people that went 500 times with Dan's mom ?
Because if you; re talking about the other button, it has already been pushed
Now you can play for real, so maybe you will have more wins that loss overall !
What does it feel like to be able to CHOOSE your next roster ?

I received one third of all touchdowns against me and two thirds of all casualties against me in that first match on Saturday morning against your Khemri. You just had to go on like that!

Thank you to Laurent and Alex for hosting a very fun event as always! Had a great time playing all my opponents, thought I had the tournament in the bag playing Vampires in the last round after winning a few very tough matches against quality opponents (ie my opponents score of 50!! in rankings) Guess that just adds to the Premature award I won though!!
Thank you to Tristan for hosting us all at your place for the weekend, greatly appreciated.
Also want to clarify that I did not intentionally throw my dice tray in the last round after rolling double skulls in 4 of my first 5 turns with no rerolls due to a certain Master Chef!! I simply stood up to vent my frustration with my dice and my hand accidentally knocked it off the table. Sorry if it offended anyone as that was not my intention, I would never do something like that. I may scream, yell, bi**h and moan about dice but that goes over the edge. Hope that is not what it appeared to be. (Especially to Alex)
Take it easy all and hope to see you at a Tourney soon, thanks again.
Adam

the 5 fan facter worked great, i stole RR's left right & center, the hail mary pass sadly I only got to use once, the one time i wanted to use it I couldn't due to a blizzard.
So I can see your pont on hail mary pass, but totally disagree on FF.
