The wait is over, the new venue for CHAOS CUP is now confirmed!
Sept 15-16, 2012 at
HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS PALATINE
http://zlurpcast.com/JP/Palatine0.jpg
The Ballroom is HUGE! If you remember the space in the bunker last year, this is even bigger than that!
http://zlurpcast.com/JP/Palatine1.jpg
We'll get a bunch of 3x6 and 3x8 tables to use... and yes, regular size tables so you can sit comfortablely for all 6 games. Toss in
a big screen/projector, mic and PA system and we are all set to run a kick ass Chaos Cup there!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOKING ROOMS
Here is the hotel address info:
1550 East Dundee Road
Palatine, IL 60074
(847) 934-4900
You can book via phone or online here:
http://www.hiexpress.com/hotels/us/en/palatine/chipt/hoteldetail
By phone just let them know this is for Chaos Cup, or Group Code: CCC
By internet just use Group Code: CCC
The special rate we are getting is $79 per night. Normally it's $89. If there are ANY conflicts with this price from the hotel,
please let me know directly and if you find it cheaper online as well, let me know and I will try to get them to match it.
You have the choice of getting a room with 1 King Bed (and pull out couch if requested) or 2 Double Beds
KING: http://zlurpcast.com/JP/Palatine4.jpg
2 DOUBLES: http://zlurpcast.com/JP/Palatine5.jpg
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GUEST SERVICES
LOUNGE
http://zlurpcast.com/JP/Palatine6.jpg
You get access to this nice lounge area which is open 24/7, which I can only imagine will consist of lots of nighttime gaming. With
that said, I don't think they will want alcohol in that area, but you could always go up to your rooms for that.
BREAKFAST
You get free hot breakfast. Not just a continental roll at other places... eggs and other good selections each morning for breakfast
is included
AIRPORT SHUTTLE
For $28, up to 4 people together can get a ride to O'Hare airport thru their partnered taxi service.... or you can get picked up from
the airport and brought back to the hotel. It's a one way charge, but split that amongst 4 people and it's pretty cheap.
Remember..you want O'Hare Airport. NOT Midway Airport.
AREA SHUTTLE
The hotel gives guests complimentary shuttle to and from about 40 different restaurants and local attractions. I'll list all the
places on http://ChaosCup.com soon, but really you've got a good 5 mile radius to and from anywhere you want totally free.
PARKING
If you did drive, the parking is free. So no worries there.
WORKOUT/POOL
The hotel is actually connected to a World Gym to those guests who want to work off all the sitting around while they are there.
Also there is a huge pool you can use. Basketball and Volleyball too. All included, just use your room key to get in.

INTERNET
Free wired internet inside all rooms. Free Wi-Fi in lounge, lobby, and our ballroom.
HIGHWAYS
It's located right off of 53/290 and Dundee Rd. People do can 290 East(South) and connect to 90 East into city.
TRAIN
Hotel is a few miles from Palatine Metra, Arlington Park Metra, and Wheeling Metra. Just contact the hotel for a shuttle to and from
the train station.
ATTRACTIONS IN AREA
Durty Nellies (bands play there), Arlington Racetrack, Medieval Times, Woodfield, Allstate Arena... and the new Rivers Casino is not
too far away. I'll post full list on the Chaos Cup website.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALTERNATE ROOMS
If you are trying to be on an extra tight budget, there is a Motel Six right across the street. I do not know the rate, but if it's
not too much less than the $79 at Holiday Inn Express, then I'd consider just staying at our Chaos Cup hotel and enjoying the company
of some fellow out of towners!
CUBS GAME
Last year, some of us went to Wrigley Field the Friday before Chaos Cup.
http://zlurpcast.com/category/episodes/photos/couch-pirates-zlurpcast-at-wrigley/
It was a blast and we plan on doing it again this year. I'll put information for that together in a separate post. It's fun to all
sit near each other and drink some shitty beer together!
WEBSITE
If you are having ANY concerns about coming or not, just have a look at the 2011 Photo's section of the http://ChaosCup.com website.
Last year was the largest Chaos Cup ever and this year will be even bigger! With side games like Skaven-Ger Hunt, Triple Skulls,
Guess the Dice, and Blood Bowl Poker, there will always be something going on that weekend.
If you are reading this on a forum, make sure to also subscribe to our Chaos Cup Newsletter at http://eepurl.com/iDCsT and Follow us
on http://twitter.com/ChaosCup and Like us at http://facebook.com/TheChaosCup
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lastly, coming soon we'll have pre-registration info up.... tons of awesome schwag (different color dice, coin, patch, dugout),
custom pitches, Limited Edition Chaos All-Star model Prince Dorian from http://impactminiatures.com going to everyone, and lots more.
Brought to you by Nurgle King... your decay, right away at Nurgle King now!
Any questions in the meantime can come to me directly: chaoscupinfo@gmail.com
Stay tuned Blood Bowl fans....whutupshun indeed!

Our group rate should be locked in for 9/12 - 9/18 so if you wish to stay longer (earlier or later) and do some Chicago sightseeing, you can still take advantage of the deal.
Turns our the normal rate is $94 a night, so this helps out a bit.
Please book hotel as soon as you can!
Rulespack coming in February
Pre-registration for tournament coming in March |
