I've been searching for mention of the Tournament at the Baltimore Games Day which I registered for. I know it's not as exciting as the Chaos Cup in Chicago or the the Bloodbowl in England, but is no one going to play at Baltimore?
GW even screwed up my order and of the two tickets I purchased, they only registered one for bloodbowl. I didn't catch the mistake until I got the tickets in the mail, so I called and there were still slots available for the tourney...what gives?
Did I miss the memo about a boycott or something? I was looking forward to meeting some fellow enthusiasts. |

| Todfatha, the only mention I could find of a tournament in Baltimore was the GT in March. Do you have the date you were supposed to play? |

| Um, I was in the Baltimore GT for 2003, and it has most certainly already taken place. If you're a native of the area, we do have a league going in Northern VA, though... |

Agreed the only GW sponsered tournament I knew of was for Baltimore was in March.
Oh and Todfatha ... when you list those tournaments in the US ... don't forget the tournament at GenCon which is being run by GW as well. There is a good change that tournament will have more than double the # of coaches as the Chaos Cup ... just wish I could see how many had already signed up so I could be more certain on this fact.

| $10 shouldn't be a waste. There should still be at least $10 sorth of stuff ot see and do there, even if there isn't a BB game going on. At the very least you can talk to the organizers and get them to let you have one there next year. |

Well I guess I wasn't very clear, but there is a bloodbowl tournament at Games Day Baltimore, but it is getting overshadowed by the Chaos Cup which will be played at the Chicago Games Day. The cost of a Games Day ticket is $25, but to register for the Bloodbowl tournament is an extra $10. It is listed in the Games day info that was included with WHite dwarf, last issue.
Unfortunately, what you guys all are saying is "yes, Todd, you wasted $10 bucks cuz no one else seems to be playing in it."  |

Well, I guess what I, and others, was trying to say is that Baltimore is over. Sorry - tell you what: if you can make the GenCon tournament, I'll reimburse your entry fee for the Baltimore tourney you missed.  |

Well, let's put it this way:
GW is advertising (in the Games Day circular and website) and taking money for a Bloodbowl tournament at Games Day in Baltimore on 6/20-21.
Whether anybody is actually running it or not is another matter entirely. |

Right Mroswick, that's what I am saying, so since no one seems to know about it perhaps we can get US torunament organizer involved so I don't sit there and play bloodbowl from both sides of the table. It saddens me to know that no one else seems to know about it. Did anyone read the circular that GW sent out? heheh, someone in their advertising department is currently having a stroke! 
Anyway, now that I am telling you there IS a BB tourney at Games Day Baltimore, is there anyone interested that will now call GW and register for it? I would cut&paste their adverts, but it's in a format that doesn't allow cut&paste. It is on the GW webpage though, if you want to check it out.

Kudos to Galak and my apologies to Todfatha for sounding off - on a surface skim of the GW Tourney site, I only saw the 2002 and 03/03 dates. Hey Skummy, are you or any of the NOVA crowd headed that way?  |

Has anyone registered yet for the Tourney at Games Day Baltimore? I figured I'd try to keep this subject close to the top since no one lese is posting.
So far Mroswick, Old Man Monkey, and myself have registered...anyone else?
Well fellas if we are it, I'll bet we can come up with alternate tourney rules to suit our own tastes...ANd hey the worst you can do is 3rd place. |

| Hey, skummy, what about the NoVA crowd coming up? Sure would be a waste to have a number of NAF coaches in the same area and not get some games in that count? |

I signed up last week. So I'll be coming down from Philly.
A friend of mine is supposed to come with me. I don't know if he's signed up or not, though.
It'll be cool to meet some of the americans on the list finally. |
