Sort of sounds like you at Spike! 2004.  |

| Throwing something against the wall, but Deathbowl is an established tourney in Canada in the fall. Make it the Spike! for one year if Brian is willing. |

Just my own opinion here, but I think that it would suck to turn the Deathbowl into the Spike!.
The Deathbowl is an established tournament with it's own distinct flavour, and to be honest I enjoyed it far more than the Spike! last year (even if my WAAAGH! was a bit screechy - thanks rob)
I say leave the Deathbowl as the Deathbowl, and let the Spike! be some other tourney some other time.
My two cents |

Sorry Spazz...but now worries...I think even Azhag might have had a screechy WAAAGH after two straight days of...um...well...WAAAGH-ing.
-Rob
P.S. And while we are reminiscing "...PICK UP THE DAMN BALL!!!..."
 
EDIT: I also strongly agree here with Spazz...Brian (Cyberhare) has earned the right to maintain the identity and integrity of his event. I'm sure that we all want the Majors to be successful, but until the NAF, or we, officially control them...let them sink or swim with GW. Until then...let the successfull events that our members organize take precedence.
Given Cyberhare's experience and trackrecord, maybe we should have him be on point for organizing a seperate event. Assuming that he would want the responsibility; he has worked in an official capacity at one of GW's majors. I think he was a referee at the Blood Bowl in 2003 and travelled on his own dime. That should speak for something with JJ. (Or whoever is running the Blood Bowl show at this point.) |

| I wasn't suggesting Brian change a thing, but that it count as a major (Spike!) for 2005. Just food for thought. |

I understand what you are saying Mel, but I still think that Brian has earned the right to make the deathbowl his own thing, and not superimpose the Spike! major on it.
also, my understanding is that with some of these bigger events (the Majors and the Canadian open for example) that people are the BB purists and would not appreciate playing in major that had one round of BB7's and a round of four way deathbowl!
I would be disappointed if there was no Spike! tourney this year, but I would rather organize something separate. Which brings up the issue of the four questions I asked earlier..... |

Sorry Ken I cant, but as far as the SPIKE goes I'd have to attend. Last years SPIKE was my best Tourney ever, 3W 2L 1T 16th/38 A winning record & my 1st, 2nd, & 3rd NAF wins!

Ya I guess my ranting & whining was a bit much 
But I thought it was all in good fun....
OMM are you able to attend the Death-Bowl? I really wanted to attend the GEN-CON, but unfortunately I got fired from the Casino so I can't afford it.
If there is a SPIKE will you attend that?
Rod. |

Precisely. They've already all but hung themselves. Leave them with their rope and they'll finish the job.

I'd be drawn and quartered by the wife if she ever found out I was organizing another big BB event Not that I wouldn't be interested in the job though. It would depend on the circumstances. If the event was still attached to GW and they had financial control or final say about the event then I wouldn't touch it. If the NAF was handed the event (and the trophy) and GW could not simply yank it back at will, then I'd think about it.
As for making the Death Bowl the Spike! I don't think anyone believes I'm going to do that The Death Bowl is a unique event. Now in light of the fact that this year there won't be a Spike!. If people would like to count the Death Bowl as a major for points standings that is up to the NAF. I'll neither ask for nor seek such a status. It would not turn down the offer though. It is agreed that it would suck if there were no Canadian "major" this year if only from a points standings point of view. I will not however be tacking "Spike!" onto my tournament anywhere It would be The Death Bowl through and through and would have to be counted as such as a major. |
