Looks like there is no spike this year???
I have talked to the people at GW Canada (Bunker) and they have no info,
Since the departure of Anthony Watts it would seem that BB is not something that anyone seems to be working on.
Oh well.. I will have to keep saving for Death Bowl!!!

or the Canadian Open, if we're trying to keep it to separate countries...
just more evidence that the NAF should be running the majors - assigning the tourneys and coordinating the promotion and organization...
so sad... |

Hopefully Canadian Open will be ok dokie for this comming year.
Anthony was the driving force behind that tournament as well, and he has offically left TBBF (though he says he will drop in at times) and other of the more public and outgoing members have at least said they are on "Break" from BB, lets hope for TBBF (which I am a member) and the Canadian Open, which our group runs that this is only a break, or that us new group of players can find enough stout hands to pitch in and run it.

Hopefully i will get the opportunity to run the Canadian Open this year. I plan on doing a lot for the tourney this year such as t-shirts and custom boards.
I just need to talk to Anthony to gey the particulars.
Maybe changing the Canadian Open to the Spike is an idea if GW doesn't want to support it.

Well that is something we should consider.
I agree we need at least 2 tournaments a year... one early and one later around Sept.
Yes Paul.. I know.. and I only missed one week btw!!! 
I will be there tomorrow...
What about you Ben? Think you can get out Thursday? Maybe then as a group we should spend 20mins and see about this stuff?

I would be willing to help out - maybe we can make this a Hammers of the North thing, or TBBF - I'm not fussed. Just hate to think that there will be no Spike! I am going to be speaking to the "Hobby Champion" at the Oakville GW Battle Bunker, and see what I can get out of him.

Just so everyone is aware I have talked to Andrew Sinclair (GW) and he says he will see how this event fits into GWs current projects and get back to me within 2 weeks. We can go from there if we are doing this with their support or on our own (NAF tournament of course)
Thanks Woody, I am very local to GW office (10mins) so if you want a local contact I have no problem in helping out in this way.

To me ... and granted this is just me.
One of the NAF's prime missions should be to keep the Majors alive. So thanks Woody for putting this on your plate.

| If we are going to pick up the Spike and save it from it's demise then let's at least move it to the Spring. It makes no sense to have both North American Majors in tha fall. Besides there's already a major event in October, The Death Bowl. |
