Last summer's event was a great success and we were proud to again hold an event using only 40mm-scale boards and throwing meters, as well as being the first to introduce DGT Easy game timers to add the clock element to the game. We have had nothing but positive feedback on the boards and clocks with the only negative feedback being the price of drinks at the bar. 
With 48 registered coaches within our own league, this time we look forward to hosting the biggest BB tournament Canada has ever seen. We look forward to seeing last year's participants return and hope to see a lot of new faces as well.
For those of you unfamiliar with the SPIKE!, the SPIKE! Magazine Blood Bowl Championship is the Canadian Blood Bowl Major. Four "Major" tournments take place annually, each in a different country. They are:
1. The Dungeonbowl, in Duesseldorf, Germany
2. The Blood Bowl, held each year in the spring at GW HQ in Nottingham, England
3. The Spike! Magazine Trophy, held each year in early fall in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
4. The Chaos Cup, October, held each year in the fall at the Battle Bunker Chicago, Illinous, USA

I cannot come, I have committed to ZlurpeeBowlVI and that is my 1 Travel for the year. I have committed 2011 to the Spike. (If you do before Labor Day in 2011. I can bring the Wife and Kids up (they do not play) and make a 10 day holiday out of it)
ps. Where do I register for 2011? |

No worries Dennis - I understand the 'one out of town Blood Bowl tourney a year' thing. ZlurpeeBowl should be a blast.
As for Spike 2011, we will not have a pre-reg available until after Spike 2010 is here and gone. As for the date, we moved it this year to the second week of September because we wanted to get it out of the summer as this was hurting our numbers, but still wanted to keep it close to our date last year so it's still warm in Vancouver and the Rockies are still drivable for our bloodbrothers coming from Alberta. Also after talking to Tom we wanted to keep it 2 weeks away from the Chaos Cup for those Europeans that might want to play in both. That said Spike 2011 will most likely be the same week and month as this year.
Hope to see you out in 2011.  |

No worries Colin. I know what it's like to have to book all your holidays at work a near year in advance. Sorry about the date change this year but it was better for us in the long run for all the reasons I stated above. I don't imagine that we will be changing our new September date (weekend after Labour Day) as it would just lead to further confusion to those who might want to make the trip in the future. I was happy to see you out in 2009 and looking forward to seeing you in 2011 if this fits your schedule. |

| Every year I keep wishing I could go, but I just don't have enough spare cash for the flight. Someday I will make, someday.... Would be nice to see what Western hospitality is like. But I won't be wearing a Leafs jersey thats for sure. |

| So, can I assume that the Spike will be held in this general time-frame for the foreseable future. September is probably more workable that October, so maybe I can start planning for next year. |
