| My wife has a sister in Tampa...I may be able to drop her off and do the tourney. The jury is still out, but there is a chance I can do this. |

Well, some superb tournament news to share:
1. Indigo has offered to construct the "Most Traveled" trophy for the Three Kingdoms Challenge! As I and the other tournament organizers plan on having the trophies done by the end of January, he has said no problem. For those of you who haven't seen it, Indigo has put up a Christmas goblin as the prize in a Christmas contest in the 'Announcements' section. It look fantastic! Heartfelt thanks to David for his generosity!
2. The details for the hotel have been worked out - the official tournament hotel for the Three Kingdoms Challenge is the Marriott Courtyard East, 12000 Collegiate Way in Orlando. The hotel is about 5 miles from Sci-Fi City and there will be transportation provided to and from the tourney site and the hotel.
http://www.marriott.com/dpp/PropertyPage.asp?MarshaCode=MCOCE
The overnight price is $79, which will be the total cost for TWO nights if you choose to come in early on Friday - so it really will be cheap to stay and play an extra day (no intent to rhyme there...) More specifics will be available on the website in a couple of days.
3. Andy Hall has said he is bringing a big bag of goodies as prizes, though no specifcs yet (other than something about Gutter Runners . .?!?!)
4. I am finalizing the tournament rules with the wise help of a number of friends and colleagues - the final rules set, along with the website, should be out by Friday.
So, we keep adding reasons to join the fun each day - this is super.
Thanks again to Indie! Your helpfulness has far exceeded mailing over things from the UK - it is greatly appreciated!

The online registration and tournament page for the Three Kingdom Challenge is now up and running!
http://www.oldmanmonkey.com/TKC/TKCfrontpage.html
While a number of helpful folk have looked over the website for misspellings, conflicts, errors, or ommissions, I would appreciate any feedback regarding the workings of the site.
So come check it out - looking forward to seeing a bunch of you in Ork-lando!

Hi OMM,
I'd love to come down to Fla. to play BB and enjoy the sun, but as of now I can't say, since money is tight (of course, it's close to Christmas) and my plans are to move to Germany sometime in the first half of the year. Until I have a better certainty of things I can't make a commitment.
So....let's keep the fingers crossed and hopefully we can have a re-match (I bet you're still talking to your one hobgoblin about his major mistake).

Hey Melifaxis - can't wait to see 'em! And stay warm up there in the white stuff!
A couple more pieces of good news:
a. the new Blood Bowl HoS (head of system) has been cleared by Jervis to attend the tournament along with Andy Hall - this may be the new person's first tournament upon hiring and probably the first trip to North America. So now I'm really encouraging every coach who can to attend, not only to meet the new game manager but to show him/her that Blood Bowl is alive and well on this side of the pond;
b. the first trophy pics will be up by next weekend: the '1st runnersup' and 'Best Defense' trophies are ready for painting now - can't wait for the community to see them and hear what everyone thinks!

Ok...I'm thinking of the olf FL tourism commercials that kept having miserable people in the cold saying "I need it bad." in reference to sunny Florida.
My washing machine pipes froze while doing laundry last night...LOL 
I NEED IT BAD! |

(Sometimes I'm such a skeptic - not cynic, Tut, skeptic...)
Weather report on March 13th, 2004 in Orlando:
"The biggest and coldest thunderstorm to hit Central Florida in 50 years has arrived, bringing freezing rain and flooding to the Orlando area..."
as Andy, Jake, Chet, Rita, Brian, Mike, Rob and who knows how many others huddle in the hospitality room at the Marriott Courtyard, evilly staring at the old monkey in the corner who is consuming as much Mexican Antifreeze as he can manage...
Just kidding! The weather is going to be fine - it's Spring Break - first tan lines of the year...

Does that mean no vampires will show up?  |

What if SkinkFury lets me bring a certain Legacy Team along for the ride?
(Just to show the figs, not to play as a vamp squad) |
