If its 20 ... we really are going to try to get the Chaos Cup moved to GenCon. I'd like to see 30+ teams before I considered it a decent turnout. We'll see. I'd like to see this tournament succeed ... really.

I not as familiar with official tournaments as you guys are, but ever since early this year I have become so disappointed in GW and Blood Bowl.
Out here in the chicago area they decided to do a Super Bowl Blood Bowl tournament. Not sure if you guys heard about this. They were going to have 8 individual tournaments. Each winner of those gets a spot in the final 8 team tournament to occur on super bowl sunday. Whoever won the big tournament on superbowl sunday would get two tickets plus airfare to the next years superbowl, jan 2005.
No publicity for it, just a few flyers at the bunker and other local game stores. Nothing in WD even. The prize was amazing considering you only pay 10 bucks and could get a superbowl trip.
I was busy for the first 2 tournaments but from what I heard only 4 people showed up for the 1st one, and 3 for the second. I went to the 3rd one and also 4 people total. Get this. Besides me, the shop owner was one (he cant win), and another participant was a guy who won the week before just playing for fun. So really it was like 2. I played him and won, and that was my entry. I couldn't believe how ridiculous and awesome this was at the same time. They did a 4th one then. After that, word got out about the poor attendance so they cancelled it. I was really mad. I mean, it's not our fault GW didn't promote it. They would be losing a ton of money because of those tickets, but again since I was already in the winners circle I felt very cheated.
People in charge then said we would have a mini tournament with the 4 winning teams. Each play each other once. Each player automatically got a $100 gw gift cert, and the winner got 400. I lost, same record but the tibreaker was total td's and casualties scored. All in all, not bad, I got a 100 bucks but if we had a good turnout it could have been a chance at superbowl tickets. GW had 20 games and boards ready to go that first night, but with no advertising on a 'specialist' game, what did they expect?
It is because of this, that to me even 12 teams would be a good time.
As far as moving to gencon, selfishly i'd like it to stay in chicago, but I totally understand if you can get the turnout in Indy. My boys would probably make the trip. I haven't been to Gencon since it moved out of milwaukee yet.

Jon I'd like to keep in Chicago also ... but I want it run well and to get attendance worth enough to call it a Major. GenCon has had 60 and 44 coaches for our two tournaments and its not that far from Chicago (extra 3 hours).
We'll see ... with this type of support ... we could run a really good tournament for the Chaos Cup at GenCon and have a lot of support. ANYWAY ... I'm ready to have fun with whoever shows up ... my team is ready ... painted and based to full painting points and I'm ready to play some BB.

Very cool! I love the old school treeman. Halflings are great fun to play.
Here is my Darkside Cowboys and my brother's Warped Vengeance. We will both be there saturday with these teams...

I look forward to meeting as many of the WI folks as possible, you, Gregg, Brian (carnage4u), and absent as well.

Well, I was able to attend - but not able to play... Aarrrghh!!! My wife was on call as a nurse, and for the first time this year - she was called in. Did everything I could to get some babysitters, and at least I was able to get grandma to help out for a few hours just so I could drop in and visit the tournament. It only made me more upset to find out that the Halflings might have dominated the tournament. If I would have played, there would have been 3 Halfling coaches that I know of for sure. I'm dying to know who won! Also, how did my fellow Halfling coaches fare? The man to beat would have been Andy Welton's Khemri. He was having an exellent game when I visited.
Lookin' forward to hearing the results,
Gregg |

well i won the overall Champion but DEAN deserves the CHAOS CUP!
I really don't care and wouldn't mind just being the Overall winner (Bunker Player....same thing Grum won at Spike!) with Dean being called the Chaos cup Champ.
Dean played a really good game even with minimal players.
First half I smashed him and scored on turn 8.
2nd half he made 3 4+ dodges, 3+ dodge and 2+dodge then a long pass for td on turn two.
Then I caged up, killed a gutter runer on a foul but got caught on a 1 in 6. He dodges with storm vermin and gets one die block on ball carrier. knocks him down. gutter runner then makes 3 3+dodges picks up the ball 3+ and dodges out 2+ then 2 GFI's. I knock gutter runner down next turn. Gutter runner gets up dodges 4+, picks up ball 4+ then fails 3+ dodge. ball lands in endzone. I decide to take my best block on the field before fouling the gutter runner to eliminate only scoring threat. double skulls with my blitz-ra. Gutter runner gets up and wins the game.
Great Game Dean. |

| It was a great time. So many Khemri and Skaven teams. Xavier had his Wood Elves and I had my Dark Elves and that was it for Elf teams. I tied against a halfling team. The master chef and his 3 sets of special ingredients made sure I had no rerolls for either half and made sure he had about 6-7 each half. It was cool to meet everybody. |
