Sorry George, FTW?? What does that mean?
Not able to make it now? You were telling me at the Open that you would make it for sure! Hope that the rest of the TBBF doesn't bail on me, otherwise I am seriously going to have re-examine this tourney..... |

Okay, here is the last early-bird registration draw...
The following people have registered and will be numbered as follows:
1-Eric
2-Rob
3-Dan
4-Marc Andre
5-Ben
6-Rod
7-Joe Byers
8-Joe Michaud
9-Peter Meers
....and the result is.....
Roll them bones ... your dice are
Roll 1: 8.
So that means Joe Michaud is the final winner for the registration prize! Cingratulations Joe, you can pick up your prize at the tourney.
See you in a few days boys!

Important Notice
I am looking into cancelling the booking for the conference room for the Q'ermitt tournament, as the committment level is too low and I stand to lose a lot of money.
I just got word that more people are dropping out and that puts me at about 10 people that I can count on for sure to be coming.
10 x $30 = $300
I am spending $400 alone on the room, plus the cost of the prizes, etc. means that I am standing to lose a couple of hundred bucks which just isn't worth it to me.
I regret to say it, but if I can cancel the room, I am going to. If I am unable to find an alternative space, then this means the end of the tourney.
I would say that I am sorry, but really I have nothing to be sorry about. I did everything I could and have gone ahead based on the promises that people assured me that they would attend. I will not be held accountable for them bailing on me at the last minute.
My regrets. |

I for one will not begrudge you for doing so as I have attempted such things in University and have had similar results.
Maybe Ben could lend his basement? |

| Say it ain't so Spazz. I got a unique team done up for the tourney and everything. That really sucks, but I understand. I feel for ya and don't want you to loose your shirt over this either. Hopefully things will work out and the tourney can proceed. I'll keep appendeges crossed. |

Wow. That's really too bad. I'm really looking forward to this. Hopefully you'll be able to find an alternative venue.
But if you do have to cancel, I understand. Losing a few hundred bucks is not fun.
Keep us posted. Rob, Joe and I are in the process of finalizing the logistics of getting down there on Friday.

Even better than my sugestion, I was going to say to ask Ben if his location for the CDN Open was still available, but if Ben is offering his basement, even better!
three cheers for Ben.....
Hip hip hurray,

Thanks a bunch Ben, really appreciate it! CErtainly beats having to cancel the whole tourney outright! Certainly a lesson learned here though....
Will be talking to the hotel today to find out what this situation is. The upside to all this is that if I do get out of it without having to pay, then I can charge you all a lot less!

I wrote this to the tbbf also.
Craig
Don't stress over it. Hopefully you can cancel the room reservation with little or no penalty and just have the tourney at my place.
You have done the best you can by advertising it, offering great pitches to play on and lots of prizes.... what more can you do?
I would not worry or concern yourself with things that are out of your control.
Things come up, people change their mind. I would just suggest that you find a cheaper venue next year as I did. Unfortunately we don't have the luxury in N.America as the Europeans in getting 30+ people for every tourney.
Look at Brian for example, I don't think he could do any more to make the Deathbowl better and he would still only draw in the 20's with a lot of the local players not even showing up to support.
So lets make this a positive for the people who are attending. I'm pumped for some Bloodbowl.
