| I'll not put a bid in yet but will gather all the info requested, (was planning on doing that anyway) but, no matter if a bid I do put in is or not is chosen, I'll assist anyway I can to who is. |

I might add that those not only putting in a bid and or volunteering understands that at any level it is for the love of the sport not for monetary gain.
I also would encourage every TO that can to volunteer. Not only making a bid for your location, but once selected working with those local TO's and the TD in any way they might need. (Designing a Dugout or sum such) (having a car wash to earn $$ both for your event and for the NATC) The NATC committee is gonna need cash to get things going. The reimbursement comes from entries.
Cash needs:
Advertising:
Fliers for FLGS, Conventions
Webcasts
Down payment on space needed
Event insurance
Give always:
Dugouts
Dice
Figures
An idea to raise $$$:
If you "taxed" every event $25 or $1 a head
right now there are 8 posted events and I am sure the number is at least twice again more
but minimum at 8 would be $200, so twice again more would net say ~ $600 a year.
Zlurpee would be another $60-80 on top of that.
It adds up and helps the North American Blood Bowl community as a whole and is a slight touch of the entrance fee.
Not that you could get everyone to agree but it is a start.
ps those few $$ left at the end go to the next event |

Wow could you be any more insulting?!?
Yes I did say I'd consider putting in a bid, & yes I said I'd help if not selected, but you question my motives for monetary gain?!?
Who the ***** are you to question me or anyone?!?
Get off your high horse, & maybe do something productive instead of passing judgement on others!!!!
Not trying to start a flame war here, but i'm insulted you would post that right after my post! |

witty humour?
Not witt, I am serious, your post was insulting!
The fact that you can insinuate that myself or anyone else would bid or volenteer to help for any gain is to me very insulting. & then you attempt to blow it off as if my being upset by your insult as a witty comeback? Wow, get over yourself! |

CS calm down & just let it go. Arguing whether something was implied, insinuated or construed [especially through text] will result in nothing more then more arguments and hurt feelings.
Now that the two of you have said your piece, I hope that both of you can just drop this before it gets out of control. |

Hey Clan Skaven,
If I may, I believe you took what was a general comment directed at all people involved or who are going to be involved and took it personally. I don't believe it was directed towards you on a personal level. The comment may have come about after reading your post but it doesn't mean it was directed at you. I think the whole point was to inform people not to get in it for the money because that's not what it is about and if people aren't comfortable with that at least they know ahead of time.
We all know that no tournaments are run for financial gain. Any money gained if at all usually goes back into the tourney itself to improve/make it better the next time around.
If we can now get back to the regular scheduled programming...which is creating a NA Tourney for all to attend that can compete with the other major events worldwide.  |

I would like to suggest both the US and Canada vote for a primary NA Cup Coordinator. So someone would nominate them, 2nd them, then people can vote. Once the primary coordinator for each country is chosen, they can then choose a crew of 2 others to join them.
Those 6 people now form the NA Cup Committee...with the primary US and Canada coordinators ultimately calling the shots overall.
Just a thought since there obviously needs to be some direction here before moving any further. |

Thus the beginning of the old boys club. I suppose that after a coordinator has been elected, such a person would be responsible for any and all NAF NA Cup events?
I think this is a terrible idea. What happened to someone(anyone) that is able to, stepping up to do it. Those with the will and the way should do it. Let's not restrict it to someone that has been voted in. If the current political world structure is any indication, such systems do not work and are part of the problem. IMHO. |

I should have clarified....I meant just for this first one. Since the tournament would only be every two years, I would recommend a new committee be chosen for 2014, and so on.
First off...it could be a huge failure and it might not ever continue. Or, the people in charge of 2012 may be totally out of the hobby come 2014. I would never suggest anything long term. Many things could change just in two years.
It was merely a suggestion because currently it's been just random posts....including a fight already. Not a good start. |

Some good points you made Jonny.
Sorry if it sounded inflammatory. I didn't want it to be, but in looking at the post now, it could probably be taken that way. |

 You talk about inflammatory, and then I look at Jonny's avatar! Looks like someone is in need of Preparation H! |
