I'm trying to arrange it. Things I still need to do:
1) Remember to wake up early on the 14th to get a ticket for the tournament
2) Budget this trip (my first child is due to be born in October)
3) Find a reasonably priced hotel in the region
4) Decide if I'm going to the Chaos Cup as well
5) Decide to coach my usual Orcs or more comical Golbins |

I bought the GenCon ticket and airfare. I need a car and hotel. I want to go to the CC also but my wife's not going for it unless I win this one.
That means I need to coach Orcs vice Goblins. (I was having the same quandry) I'm toying with taking another team also. |

I did a search on the GenCon website for your tournament. It lists two of them:
BG00156 Blood Bowl Tournament Qualifier $7.50
BG00157 Blood Bowl Tournament Finals $3.00
Did the price change, or is the system just confused because the event is not on sale yet?
I think the comes from the time of the tournament including breaks vs playtime.
Tournament are only supposed to charge 1.5 for every 2 hours of play time. Four rounds at 2 hours each means $6 for the tournament. However the first day is for 10 hours with breaks and the 2nd day is scheduled for 4 hours with breaks so they are applying the $1.50 price to the entire time for the tournament instead of the actual playtime like they are supposed to. I'll fire of a note to my contact at Gen Con to see if I can quickly get this changed to $4.50 for BG00156 and $1.50 for
BG00157 which were the prices that they quoted me.
Thanks for catching this for me, Darthnoir. By the way Marcus/Darthnoir is the only man on the planet I think has a BB collection that I'm jealous of ...  ... it will be fun to put faces to all these names.
Okay, I finished Green Stuffing the 1st place trophy ... just need to paint it now. I've got 3 trophies ready, 1 in process, and 4 left to finish.
Than comes the big question ... do I have time to paint 80 to 140 miniatures to give out as gate prizes for playing all 4 games ... no promises at all on this one guys ... if I can pull it off, they'll be there ... if not ... well I did my best.
I got 5 different companies/organizations to sponser the GenCon tournament, so like I said ... I'm pulling out all the stops to make this tournament worth coming to. I want GW-US to look at GenCon and go wow! ... let's have the Chaos Cup there next year. So I'm doing everything I can to make the tournament great.

I'd also lay money that the knowledge base of Blood Bowl rules between the GenCon Head Referee vs the Chaos Cup Head Referee will be slightly different.

Of course I have NO idea who is head ref at the Chaos Cup ... my luck it will turn out to be someone like Milo or Chet and then I'll have to eat my words. |

Thanks a ton for noticing this Darthnoir. GenCon just confirmed today that they fixed it .... (just in time).
The events are now listed as $4.50 and $1.50 to play them with Games Workshop as the sponser.

Registration starts at Noon PST USA.
That's 3 pm EST (New York), 2 pm CST (Chicago), 1 pm MST (who actually lives in this time zone???), and Noon PST (San Diego)
I'm pretty sure that its 8 pm London time, if any of my overseas friends are coming to the Con ... I know that I have some folks from Austria making the trip I believe (more that they'll be in the area than coming over for the tournament).

I still recommend everyone check at noon PST to make sure this wasn't a typo. However, I just got this message when I tried to log into GenCon's website:
Quote: Our system is currently being upgraded for Game Registration, which will open later today. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Online Event Registration goes LIVE on April 14th at 3pm PST! |

I joined. I did not get up at this time 4:30am EST just to sign up. I just couldn't sleep. Probably all the anticipation of my win..... Oh boy am I setting myself up for a fall.  |
