Sounds like a big deal event.
You should create a tournament in the "Tourneys" section in the links on the top right here (just click and then click "add tournament"). Once you've done that, mention it in this thread and someone official will sanction it (if not pm a mod and it should be sorted).
You should also look to announce your event on www.talkbloodbowl.com, if you haven't already, some people spend more time on those boards than this one.
good luck! |

FYI - I'm pretty sure there has been a BB tournament there before. |

I played in the Adepticup in 2005 and actual was lucky enough to come out on top. That year it was run by a guy who then moved out of state. Some of us in the local Chicagoland area CRUMBBL leagues of POW and OWFuL talked about about continuing it on. Not to discourage you, but what we decided upon was that it was better for us to create and run a seperate tourney from the Con that could be geared totally for Bloodbowl and that is how the Stuper Bowl was formed. What happened back in 2005 the year the Adeptibowl was held at Adepticon was that because the event is like 99% based on 40K and Warhammer Fantasy, is that the BB was brushed to the side like an unwanted deformed mutant child. It was a one-day three game event and the time slot was given from 7PM to 2AM. Combined with the badge price of like $25 plus event cost of $10 or $15 more, the result was only 7 players enrolled. Out of towners did not want to come in for a 3 game tourney at these prices.
Please understand, I do not want to discourage you, but only hope that you improve on all of the negative points I listed if you want to make this an appealing event. |

All very good points. Unfortunatly I will not be able to do anything about the price. I have nothing to say in that matter. I will be forming the rules and that kind of stuff and was just hoping to get into some program with the NAF. We have not hashed out all the details of any of this yet. RIght now I just wanted to get thoughts from everyone else. I am going to still try it for 09 and we will see how it works. It may fall through due to the reasons above, it may grow to a big success. We will just wait and see.
Can someone point me to a good tournament set of rules? So i can overlook them and see how some of these successful one have turned out. |

| Zlurpee Bowl and GenCon Bowl are two very common formats that are widely accepted. |

I'd really like to see this happen. If you can make it happen on a day other than the 40k team tournament, you'll have another player.  |

I would tnd to agree but the issue with that is I really want to make it worth while. I was wanting to do 6 games/ 2 Days. Only problem with that is the team tourny is sitting right in the middle of that, I would like to go to the team tourny as well.  So my options are limited. I will bring this up for discussion here, what does everyone think. Please tell my your opinions as I want to get as many people as possible.
We are talking scheuling here. I know a lot of poeple attend the Team tourny so here are some thoughts and I really dont like any of them.
Opt 1 and 2 are there to get around the team tourny.
Option 1
Friday 12-9 4 Games
Option 2
Sunday 9-6 4 Games
Option 3
Saturday 9-9 5 Games
Option 4
Firday 2-9 3 Games
Saturday 9-5 3 Games
Option 5
Saturday 9-5 3 Games
Sunday 9-5 3 Games |

| Just a quick idea. If you are wanting to work around the team tourney. Why not go Friday and Sunday, 3-4 games each. If you make it worth coming, people will show up as previously stated. |
