Ok!!!
Now we have prize support from both GW(thanks to Andy Hall) and Impact Miniatures(thanks to Tom Anders). All of the prizes came in and we're looking at an impressive prize pool(still including the 2 pro painted teams). I also ordered an Impact Night Elf team and a street brawl board as additional prizes. I will have pics and a detailed list on our website in a few days.

There will be drinks and some kind of pizza related food served. Anyone is welcome to attend as we are trying to spread the gospel of Blood Bowl to some new trainees---experienced players can drop by to get a few games in and meet some of the locals:)

Is there a specific date we need to be signed up by? I'm not sure until my schedule comes out as to whether or not I'll have off and I can't actually ask off for the 13th (company policy....go figure). If I happen to get the 13th off I'll be taking the 14th off so that I can be there.

SuM--I think it was about 1.75-2 hrs if my memory serves me correctly. Yeah it it right up I81. Will you be dropping by for the practice day to get in a few games or for the tourney(or both? ?
Ranthorn--No need to plan too far in advance--we will even be accepting walk ins on the day of the event. I realize that sometimes work schedules can make things a bit tricky so we can be flexable on that front. The registering beforehand just makes it easier for me to get the right amount of supplies ready for the Brawl(food, soda, booze, etc..) Whenever you know you can make it just shoot me an email.

Sorry, not the Practice day, trust me I would love to make it up there.
The Many Christmas Parties I'm invited to are starting the weekend before that.
Here are the Christmas Parties on my schedule...
December 8th, 10th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 24th - 31th (the week between Christmas and New Years Eve I take vacation). Every night of my vacation someone in my family has a get together at their house.
And people wonder why I theme my High Elfs into the Christmas theme... heheheeeee...
I am trying for the Tournie, though...
I love BB Tournaments, although I can't make many of them. Two dayers are hard for me, being a married man and dealing with children visitation... |

It worked out well. We had to dust the cobwebs off of a few of the guys but all together they're getting into fighting shape. I'm thinking we're gonna have another-less formal refresher day(after the holiday that is:) if your interested. Just shoot me a PM and I'm sure we can arrange something. There were a few others that couldn't make it and I'd like to make sure everyone is up to speed.

Most of the Mafia will be arriving Friday (cause we re too lazy to get up early Sat). We ll be staying at the Days Inn (we tried the Ramada but it was full). Anyone else heading up then? And recomendations for fine S-WB cuisine we should try, Brandon?
See everyone Saturday if not Friday! |

I'm assuming you're going to be lodging at the Kidder Street Days Inn(as far as I know the only days inn in the area:). You will be right across the street from our shopping mall/chain restaraunt area--right in that vicinity is the usual lineup of chain restaruants-Friday's, Lonestar, Chili's, Olive Garden, etc...
If you are looking for some good local eats there are a few right in your area:
For Pizza-on the cheap side but a great sweet sauce try the Dough Company--its right on Kidder Street-just exit the Hotel and take a right onto Kidder St.---it will be on your right hand side just past the Burger King.
For Hibachi(my personal favorite)--Mirukuya Steakhouse--On Kidder St too---just take the right onto kidder again---turn left at the second light and its right there---good prices for Hibachi food too.
I can give you a few more suggestions depending on yer mood----IM gonna PM you my cell number---call me if you need anything-directions/more restaurants/suggestions if yer looking for a bar/club for the night just give me a call. I might come out to meet up with ya'll depending on what kind of mood my girlfriend is in---I might have to get some quality time in on fri in order to excuse my drunken nerdery for the rest of the weekend.

| Drunken Nerdery seems like a pretty good name for the defunct tavern that is to be the venue of the tourney! |

The results are in!!!
Kason Karr (JKarr) takes home 1st place at the Bar Brawl with a commanding 4 win/1 tie record...
Jeremy Smith (bampf) comes in at 2nd with 4 wins and a loss---bampf also takes home the Most touchdowns award(11) and the best painted for his Mus Musculus Skaven team.
Most Brutal- Rob Ottaviano (KarlLagerbottom) with 18 CAS
Jay Deckman (Jaylazer) takes home the sportsmanship award and Pat Maloney(Mophorex) secures the NAF rookie of the tourney(out of 5 rookies).
Thanks to all that came and made my 1st hosted tourney a great event. I will be posting updates on the Bar Brawl website in a few days when I get the pictures ready.

Major Kudos to Comrade Brandon who went way above and beyond the call of duty on this, his first tourney! A ton of great prizes, Bar Brawl mugs (and lots of libations to fill them with), tons of food and snacks, a huge tourney trophy (most impressive of the two dozen or so tourneys I ve been to)... wow.
Hopefully this is the first of many and a step in the right direction in putting NE PA on the BloodBowl map. I and the rest of the Mafia had a fantastic time and look forward to next time!
Thanks again, Brandon! |
