Thank you. I wasn't sure if it was better to have JJ sign the box or the pitch but in the end I decided on the box. At least that way it can be seen when presented

Ahh there we go. You won't be dissappointed if you do come. I've just finished making another 5 DB boards so I have enough for 40 coaches to play at the same time. More than that and I'll have printed copies of the board for people to use.
I posted a second prize on the website. It's not as cool as the first but they can't all be fantastic.

1 of 2 major hurdles has been overcome. I should know about the other one by the end of the week 
Where's everyone staying?
It looks like I can get from Boston to Montreal for $98 USD round trip via bus. That's cheaper than gas and tolls would be and I get to sleep instead of drive  |

Let me know if you guys need the names of more places to stay. There are a lot of places to stay in the area. It all depends on the price range you're looking for. If you are searching the internet for places you'll probably want something on "Taschereau", that's the main street in my area and where the best motels are. You should also be looking in the Brossard or Greenfield Park area's. That's not quite in the same area as the tournament but there is only the one hotel listed on my website in the immediate location of the tournament,and it's pricey. Of course a person could also stay downtown Montreal and take the Metro over to the tournament location. It would be about a half hour metro ride from Downtown to the location with one switch-over.
Melifaxis, if you do come in by bus and you need to get picked up at the bus station let me know and I'll arrange something. That goes the same for anyone else traveling into town. If I can help out I will.
Another way into town is the Train. I'm not sure of the costs tough.
Anyway if you guy's need info let me know and I'll round it up for you

The cheapest/cleanest place I can recommend is the "Siesta Motel" listed on my website. Most comparable motels in the area will be about the same price for a room. Now if all you're concerned with is the price then there's the Falcon Motel, but they've been under renovations for the past year and may not be quite finished yet. There's also the Florence but that's a nostalgic trip back into the 70's, complete with shaggy carpet and tasseled bed-spreads  The Canada Motel is a good place to stay though I've never personally stayed in any of their regular rooms, the suites are the best in the area though  There's of course the Best Western and the Quality Inn but you won't get a room there for under 120 unless they're having a special.
Here's a few places and numbers, I'll list more as I find them
Le Motel La Siesta
Greenfield Park
3179, boul. Taschereau, J4V 2H4
(450) 671-7555 / 1-800-463-4118
Quality Inn et Suites
Brossard
6680, boul. Taschereau, J4W 1M8
(450) 671-7213 / 1-800-267-3837
www.qualityinnetsuitesbrossard.com
Best Western Hôtel National
Brossard
7746, boul. Taschereau, J4X 1C2
(450) 466-6756 / 1-800-465-0041
www.bestwesternquebec.com
*** these two are far from the tournament location ***
Days Inn
Brossard
8350, boul. Taschereau, J4X 1C2
(450) 466-2186 / 1-800-565-2186

Train was about 3x the $ from Boston and had several stops so it was 12 hours instead of 7.
I appreciate the offer for the pick up! I will confirm my attendance with you soon - it's looking good!!! |

Hello, Rod Davidson here from Niagara Falls, I'm thinking I may like to attend the DEATHBOWL! My question is, how are the Toronto based players getting there? Driving, train, bus, flying? If driving think I could tag along, I'd give gas money.
Thanks in advance for any help, oh & I'm a member of the NAF obviously by using this forum, but I'm still waiting for my member card package to be mailed.
Thanks again , hope to hear a responce soon, bye: Rod Davidson |
