The South Bend Slaughter looks to double its attendance from last year ... I'm going to hope that GenCon can do the same that would be AWESOME!

Yeah! More people you have to explain what changed in the LRB to. Just what I want to play against. I guess I better win my matches. I'm assuming the people at the higher tables know what they're doing. Nah, I know better.
I don't even know why I play in these things... |

Ya tell me about it,.....
Last year at the GEN CON I play this kid, & after he rolls a 12 in the kick off, I yell with excitement "Yes a Pitch Invasion!" (Old kick off rules) I was excited because I had the higher FF & I was hoping to even the score as I was at the time losing.
It was his reply to my excitement that I was dumbfounded by, "What's a Pitch Invasion?"    
I can understand not knowing the most updating rules changes such as things like WA or the new Kick Off table. But to not even know what a basic rule was? I don't know maybe I'm wrong to say this, but if you do not have a fairly strong grasp on the rules, than maybe tourney play is not for that person.
Nothing is more frustrating than not only playing against such an apponent that you also have to babysit them as well with rule regulations and such.
Am I alone with this opinion?

Tell me about, there's this guy with AG 4 Skinks who just keeps complaining that Nuffle hates him. It's bad enough he has rat-tails sticking out of those lizard costumes...  |

Now that's a true cynic view Snots. LRB 4.0 didn't change that much that would effect your game other than the Kick-off table and just make sure you have a new print-out of only that page of the LRB 4.0 with you and you'll have insurance on this.
All the other changes by and large affected skill selection and that's something that I have to deal with between rounds.

Quote: The tournament will be 5 rounds of Swiss. Starting team will be 1,000,000. You will allowed your choice of giving 2 players each a normal skill or one player a doubles roll skill or mutation after rounds 1, 3, and 5
so, what is the point of getting 2 skills after the last game? |

I guess I won't be attending the GEN CON now. I just learned today that even though my work record is relativly spotless, I have been told that I do not fit with the direction that the Casino is headed.....
My employee # was 68, started 3 months before the place opened, 8 years ago, & apparently none of that matters at all. So with that said & done, I'll have no reason to justify to attend any BB tourneys in the near future!
Sorry if you guys don't see me online much anymore, but I may not have the internet for the time being...
Bye to you guys hope you all well, I guess I'll see you someday....
