Hey everybody! If you happen to be going to Games Day Baltimore bring your BloodBowl team!
The Adventurer's Guild (and mostly myself) will be running a one day TR 100 LRB 4.0 BloodBowl tournament. This is very short notice, but there was a major breakdown in communication between GW and us.
First round starts at 11:00 and we re shooting for a three round swiss tourney.
Teams get one normal skill before Games 1, and 2. And a doubles skill before game 3.
LRB rules save Dirty Player is +1/+1, and we ll using a custom d66 kick-off table.
Sorry for the short notice (so obviously this one ins t NAF sactioned), but GW is promising some really nice prizes for Tourney Winner, Runner Up and Best Painted. |

Awesome!
There should be at least 3 or 4 from Harrisburg, so I can at least guarantee a different oponent in every round! |

Thanks to all who participated in our impromptu GD Tourney!
Despite the short notice we had a respectable 12 players for all three games.
Jay Deckman (jaylazer) won the tournament with his dwarfs edging out Rob Santos (squatront) and his orcs 1-0 in the third round.
Tourney runner up was myself with Lizards.
Most brutal and best painted was Rob s orcs.
Most TDs went to Rob Ottaviano (KarlLagerBottom) and his Skaven.
Sorry this wasn t NAF sanctioned guys. We ll be sure to coordinate with GW earlier next time.
Congrats to Jay who got a really nice Rogue Trader Tourney trophy from GW.
There were three 2-0 teams going into third round so I missed the chance to play against Jay by a few points... so I m looking to call him out at the Death Cup!! No ducking me this time! |

Thank Bampf et al for putting this together so quickly. I did have a great time down there (of course winning sure does help that )
It's always good to get several games of BB in. I'm glad I check here on Friday night or I would have never known about the tournament.
I do have to say that I was a little shocked that GW actually initiated this. They actually wanted to support Blood Bowl. It's amazing!!
Thanks for the good time everyone. |

The GW guy who was our point of contact seemed really enthusuastic about running these. Only problem is he s swamped come GD/GT time. He asked what it would take to make the Baltimore GT tourney the premier BloodBowl event in the states.
So it seems they are willing to commit some time and resources. I figure I ll start compiling a list of things they d need to do to make Baltimore the site of what would essentially be a US equivalent to The Blood Bowl. |

| I think it just comes down to getting the word out. There are plenty of bloodbowl players in the area. |

Along with advertising the tournament, they need to advertise some real prizes or a limited edition miniature. And by miniature I don't mean a coin. I don't think coins really bring people in.
It would need to be in White Dwarf for sure. At least 3-6 months in advance. The more advance notice the better. |
