Well, Michigan does have the highest unemployment rate in the united states, so that's nice. We need a victory like, say, my winning the Chaos Cup to bring us into the economic recovery! In addition, I have to make up for my terrible loss in round 4 of the Zlurpee Bowl II.
And until last year, there were no wolverines here.
All of those soft pretzels will just slow you down! |

I went back and was reading that this past Gencon had 45 coaches. I think it kind of sucks that the Bunker has to cap it off at 40 coaches due to its space. I really thought this may have been the start of the Chaos Cup topping Gencon's turn out. 
Now just hopefully all the coaches that did pre-register make it out.
I'll be seeing all those who do in a couple weeks!  |

I will be there to play of course and to try and persuade people to make the drive north a month later to come to the Underworld Cup! Gotta keep the Midwest BB Tournament circuit running!
I have a feeling the Bunker mentioned the cap to keep room for 40k and Fantasy gaming. If we go over the 40, screw 'em! Blood Bowl players can kick Warhammer players asses any day! |

Well I can officially say F U to GW.
Chaos cup is full. refusing to take more people.
Guess for the first time since the CC came out, I am being forced to miss it.
turning people away is not going to help this Event get any bigger |

| I really don't see how they can refuse people who are there, ready to play, and paying. But on the other hand, if you are coming in from out of town, it would suck butt to not be allowed. I'm sure there are people who called that aren't going to show either. |

| In fairness from thier prospective looking at the last two years attendance, I'm sure they never expected to hit 40. |

| Majortusk, there's always room at Death Bowl. Though time is certainly a little tight. |

I sure am glad that I reserved my spot way back in May. 
Galak asked people to sign up a long time ago. Probably because he wanted GW to not do exactly what they're doing now.
Although GW's attitude certainly won't help anyone's attitude toward the Majors  |

Actually, I think the increased attendance (or, at least, signups) shows how people are taking the majors more seriously. Although, I agree GW's attitude is a problem, and I think the overall poor job really affects people's attitudes towards GW.
The BB tournament scene will continue to thrive as long as people like Galak continue to run fantastic tournaments. |

Well, I just called now to make sure I was on there and even though I called back in June, or maybe even May, I was NOT on the list. 100% bulls**t. Apparently someone didn't write it down
I'm on there now (according to mgr Allen), but all this time I thought I was on there already and didn't have to worry.
F GW. |

This is supposed to be big |

Alrighty, since you called the day before I did, (see the 1st page of this thread), I'm going to call down there again and verify. I've got records of the call here and even the employee's name who took my call!
