Why?
You could just say "Normal picks 20k, doubles 30k, MA or AV 30k." Just curious why would you include AG or ST? |

By curiosity, are you opening the registration to everybody or just north americans ?
Anyway, you might want to use one format that has proven to be as fair as possible (bloodbowl is not a fair game). Check the world cup skill format, or the eurocup... otherwise your event might be spoiled by "power gamers".
In other (offensive) worlds, I personnaly (but I'm nobody, so don't worry about me) think that the format you're proposing sucks 
Edit: I'm talking about that:
"Skill Selection basic skill 20K, to take a doubles or stat you must first have added a basic skill.
Cost:
Doubles +40K - MA - AV 40K
AG - +50K
STR +70K."
Edit2:
Generally speaking, I would really like this event to be successfull. That's why I would keep everything (special rules, format.... etc...) as simple as possible, as the main focus should remain the team spirit.
I've been to the eurocup and the world cup, and honestly, there is nothing that comes close to that in terms of bloodbowl. I'd like it to be a success in US / Canada as well ! |

LC-
I could be wrong, but I thought I remembered hearing it would be open to whatever countries would want to make the trip... but again, don't hold me to that please With all the focus on World Cup (rightfully so) there hasn't been much information being releases about this tournament.
I'm hoping to hear back from some of the "inner circle" as soon as the post-wc havoc dies down |

(From the crop circles)
Yes my skill selection sucks ... present extremes and the fence will talk ...
NAF events are open events in my book but only NA teams can be elligable for a prize (lol) |

| I also think you should make the format similar if not a copy of the world cup. |

Yeah we have a lot of things we are working on and yes indeed things have taken a back seat to the World Cup.
I think updates by the beginning of 2012 are very likely!

Hey folks,
After my great experience in Amsterdam, I am feeling very motivated to help organize both this as well as work on a bid for a North American World Cup. In addition to being a great event in itself, I think running a NAC tournament in 2013 will be a great stepping stone towards making a strong World Cup bid. Just got back last weekend from a very nice, small, local BB tourney in Las Vegas, I think it would be a great place to do the NAC and/or WC. Please consider me to help out with any committee for organizing either of these.
Also, I think for this to be a success we should give everyone as much advance notice as possible, at least 12 months. Which if we want to do this in Winter '13, we need to announce a date very soon. I recommend we come to a consensus on a city and a date (at least a month) as soon as possible, to maximize the number of people that will be able to plan to come. |

Yeah, a month and location for sure should be decided on in the next few months. I want to go to this, and would need some warning to make sure I can afford another trip. And if its Vegas, enough extra money to lose at the tables and still be able to afford to go home.
I am totally in for Vegas, seems like the best location for the first (and all in my opinion). |

Lets look at logistics. According to research the better time to hold a convention in Vegas is March through May as far as space, price, room price, and overall availability. So if you are thinking Vegas I suggest last 2 weeks of April to the first 2 weeks of May.
There are no major US/Canada events to interfere with.
The rates should be affordable
It will not be to hot
The pools have had a chance to warm up some
The nights are not freezing but nice and cool
airfare is not at the peak period
you do not have a lot of competition for a day or 2 off that time of year
it is 4 months AFTER Christmas so the pain should be gone
Saturday night in Vegas is Saturday night in Vegas (regardless of which one)
You can go see Pawn Stars |

| Interesting about the cheap time of year in Vegas. That could help in the decision making. |

Ok guys, time for hard dates.
Expect to see a thread for "how to place a bid to host the 2013 NA Team Championship" in January.
Get excited!
Also get thinking. We have some criteria we know we are judging on but as with the World Cup the bid overall will be considered as well.
Keep your eye's peeled! |
