| Well, I'm looking right now at a date in Mid-November. I should know by Monday if that date will be firm. Otherwise it's back to the drawing board, although I will probably still be aiming for the October-November time frame. |

To any tournament organizers:
I'm currently stationed in Korea with the military and they make coins over here very cheaply, compared to back in the U.S. or elsewhere in the world. For a batch of 100 coins (about the size of a poker chip, but you can get them larger, smaller, or odd shapes), different artwork on both sides, they run about $3.50 a coin, which is fairly reasonable if you were to add that to a membership package, or you can sell them as souvenirs for anywhere from $5 to $10 each if you want to make a profit.
One cool thing about using them for a blood bowl tournament is that you could unveil them at the coin toss and let the winner of the toss keep the coin, (and then sell them to those who want one or another one). It would be a great to have your tournament logo on one side with the date and some blood bowl artwork on the back like block dice symbols, spiked footballs (come to think of it, the coin itself could be shaped like a spiked football), etc. Endless possibilities...
Since I am in Korea right now, I would be more than happy to offer my services to anyone who wants to have a batch of coins made for their tournament. I will facilitate the order and ship them to you when they are done for whatever the actual shipping cost will be. I won't charge any fees, so you will get the exact cost the shop gives me (I may however want to keep just one coin for myself as payment!).
Prices per coin go down when you order more than 100. I just placed an order for a friend for some military coins and 200 of them were $620, but they had some special diamond cut edges so they were more than just a basic coin.
If you want to see the kind of work the shop does, they have a web site: www.songscoin.com
I am not affiliated with the shop in any way, so I am not advertising for them.
Please contact me if you would like any help! I'm a Blood Bowl lover so I would enjoy helping folks out with their tournaments! |

| Oh, I also forgot to mention they make patches over here very cheaply too, so a bulk order of embroidered patches would be pretty reasonable and would also make a great hand-out for a tournament. I can easily help with orders like that too. |

Norse, I have a firm date now. We're running our event in November, on the weekend of the 13th and 14th. It's not going to be located in Raleigh-Durham -- I opted for an event at an established Convention rather than booking my own venue, and this venue is located in High Point, which is roughly halfway between Charlotte and the RDU area.
We'd love to have you in attendance. I'll get the Best Painted team award prepared for you. =)

Hi Milo,
I won't be able to attend this year I'm afraid, but if you get around to doing a summer follow up, count me in!  |

2nd place....losing to Xtreme in the final if I recall!
Had a great time running that tournament. Met Sol there for the first time too! 
I lost my ass to Xtrema at that one as well, but I think I kicked JP's ass if I remember right  |

JP (Main Guy) ran the Underworld Cup '06.
But looking back, apparently he was his own odd-man.

I was....and technically I had most casualties with my Norse, but just couldn't award it to myself.
Sucks, because I've never had a Most Casualties award since then.  |
