March is also the month when The Canadian Nationals (formerly known as The Orion Cup) are going to be held. I'd love to come down to Boston but if I have to choose I'd go to the Nationals. Sorry

I'd rather May... If the Habs continue to be that crappy, I might be able to take a weekend off to go to the Nationals...

Didn't they get massacred by Boston 
Don't worry, I like the B's but I'm really a Wings fan and you beat us in Montreal the day after the Death Bowl. |

Understandable. Thanks for responding though. We'll see which way popular opinion goes.
SBG, May will be tough for me with a newborn so It would probably be March or Sept/Oct

| I'd say shoot for September. There are no big tournaments in North America in September. |

Mel : The Bruins better be ready tonight! (They're so big though!);
I understand that with the newborn, it will be tough, so I'll hope to get a weekend off whenever the tournament is held.
That job is fun, but man is it hard on my social life!

But, March 13th is OMM's FL tournament so I'm going to work with September. I'll check for other events and do my best to avoid those dates and then I'll start pulling this together once we are actually in 2004  |

Umm Ok I know that I was the guy who, once upon a time, said that September would be a good month. Well... I was wrong. Sept. 18th + 19th is the official Spike tournament in Toronto Canada
Ok lets look at this
January sucks because we're all broke from Xmas
February is the Canadian Nationals in Toronto
March is Manhandle in the Panhandle
April is open but some of us are saving up to go to the BB
May is the Blood Bowl
June is open as far as I can remember
July is GenCon
August The Chaos Cup??
Sept is the Spike! tournament
October is the Death Bowl
November is UCon
which brings us back to December and everyone's poor again
Best bet.. IMHO is April. People who can't make it to Florida probably won't be going to England so you're tourney might just fill a nice gap there 
But then I was the one who suggested Sept so......
Whatever you decide decide soon so people have time to make travel plans. |

The idea is definitely still alive and kicking, especially after having a blast down in FL at the TKC! I'm working with my fellow HBBL coaches to organize things. I figure that even if it's a small tourney this year, then there's just room to grow for next year, a bit of a change of philosophy from last year

July has some serious potential along with the fall - I'd like to stay as far away from competing with other North American events as possible which makes July look better.
I just spoke with Kevin Doherty at the GW-Harvard Square store, and he was very receptive to hosting a tournament. We would only have room for about 18 boards, so we'd have to cap things at 36 coaches (which I think is quite an ambitious number anyways).
I also opened communication with an events manager at the Seaport Hotel downtown (as it's owned by my company) to see what kind of deal I could get there as they a) do catering b) could give a discount on a block of rooms c) have meeting space so people could, in theory, roll out of bed and play. |

EDIT:
Decided I didn't like the fluff I wrote so I'll write up a new version...  |

| Excellent, so when's it going to be. I've never been to the Boston area so it'll be a cool trip. |

| I'm pretty sure that given enough notice, I could arrange for about 10 people to attend from the Rhode Island / Connecticut area. New Englanders need more Blood Bowl! |

Excellent! You will have at least 3 months notice
Plans should be finalized in the next couple of weeks. |
