Can someone tell me whom the regional coordinator for the US is? I'd like to talk to them about setting up a tournament, and getting some dice packs to register new NAF members at the event. Unfortunately, the FAQ says:
Quote: Who do I contact if I want to run a tournament?
Contact your Regional Tournament Co-ordinator, or contact the Tournament Director if there is no RTC for your region.(see the Contact Us page for email addresses of our current RTCs).
But the 'contact us' link just goes to an email address, and I haven't gotten a response to the email I sent there yet.

| Please say that you are organizing it in Michigan or New York State! There a lot of us Canadians who would love to cross the border for some U.S., tourneys but they are all so far away! |

Talked to Milo via email. |

| Sorry, Spazz, I'm in North Carolina, far from Michigan or New York. But I have family in Michigan, so I may occasionally make it up there for any events that are scheduled there. (I played in the Underworld Cup in 2006, I think.) |

| Is there an approval process that I have to go through after submitting a tournament to the schedule? First time running a tourney and I don't see it showing up on the list yet. It has a status of "NEW." Any help is appreciated. Thanks. |

Someday I want to start a tournament in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area. However I want some more experience attending them first, so it will be a few years. There are no tournaments in MN that I know of. The closest ones are in Wisconsin and Illinois.
Is Minneapolis close enough to any Canadians for them to be interested in attending? |

| The only larger cities close to Minneapolis are Thunder Bay, Winnipeg and Sault Ste. Marie. Thunder Bay is about 500 km away, and Winnipeg/Sault Ste. Marie are approximately 625. Both are driveable for weekend tournaments. But unsure of the BB communities in those areas, but who knows. |

I also am running a tournament in Albuquerque New Mexico at Rio Grande Wars (http://www.riograndewars.org). It's only a two day event but we also have a Blood Bowl League starting up here now as well.
So if the Regional coordinator could PM or email me. I too would like to see what we can do about making this a "sanctioned" event. |

This makes me happy - I have some land in New Mexico and was hoping there would be something going on within driving distance when I move there. |

Yep, that was me. Good for 21st place nationally with Skaven. =) I had a great time at that tournament, too. It's one of the events I'm keeping in mind when planning my own event. Hopefully someday I'll get a chance to have another crack at Xtreme. |

| Milo, when you thinking of running your event?? - having stopped in NC a couple of times en route to Orlando, it's an area I would like to spend more time in at some point in the future. Raleigh and Durham seem lovely.. |
