Thanks for the heads up!
I sent him a PM back in December but haven't heard anything, so I imagine he hasn't checked in since then |

We are considering hosting a smaller 4 match tournament if we can get local interest. We can count on a reasonable number of players from our local league, but we haven't really reached out to anyone else within driving distance.
Would anyone in the Calgary area be interested if we held something?
It'd be our first kick at the can, so we don't want to overwhelm ourselves with a 2 day gig just yet, and we figure a one day'er will be plenty for us to handle 
Let me know!
Thanks,
Dsav
Hey,
Calgary hosted the Spike! in 2007 so it's not as ancient history like you think.  But yeah it has been a while since we heard anything coming out of there since then so I was pleased to read this.
Like I said to Colin when he has trying to get some guys from the west coast to come out to da Grots, provided you guys are willing to go to a 2-day format in the future you'd probably see at least 2 carloads of guys from the west attending.
For now I say you guys get your feet wet and run a 1-dayer and try to get some local support (Calgary/Edmonton), but when you feel your ready, provided the event does not directly conflict with any of the other PacWest events (Spike! September, RCR February, Iron Mike October) myself and I think at least a half dozen guys plus would travel for a 2-day blood bowl tournament in Calgary.
Looking forward to it! Sorry for the lack of reply but I just read this. Good luck with this dsavillian and keep us posted.
Hope to see you out for the Spike! Magazine in September!
Craig. |

Right now we are still in the idea phase, so we are going to try out a 1-day event and see how that goes.
Luckily we have 21 players in our league right now, so we have a good base to work from when trying to figure out the logistics of a tournament! |

Awesome. Looking forward to seeing how that goes - keep us posted.
21 players eh? Go bloc! That's great man. I haven't heard about that much Blood Bowl activity coming out of Calgary since '07. Good stuff. |

I am interested.
I see you did send a PM. I can't play in a closed format league, with games on weekends. I just won't be able to play the required games.
Let me know when you get a tourney going, It should give me time to get a team.

I'm interested, depending on when it is of course, but definately interested. I am in Red Deer, BTW.
You mignt wasnt to try to contact the people in Edmonton as well, they might be interested.
Do you know Toby from Airdrie? Not sure if he's in your league, but he knows the people up in Edmonton and could get you in touch with them.
Just an idea, you could try to resurrect the old Calgary tourny, the Ablerta Apocolypse Challenge, used to be run by Toppy (not sure if you know him either).
Anyway, keep us posted on any details conserning the tourney. |

Too bad you aren't able to join our league  Our 3rd season is approaching the playoffs, and our "between season tournament" is coming up quickly!
As for the resurrection/non league tournament, we've been slow working out details.
I'll bug the guys this weekend and see if we can work something out. |

So, we've offically kicked off the promotion of our 1 day tournament on Dec 8th!
I'm having trouble finding out who is the NAF regional coordinator for Canada though... anyone know who that is? I think the timeline is too short to get sanctioned, but we'll try anyway. Worst case is we can get a head start on our 2 day event in spring/summer 2013 |

GeneralJason handles the west side of Canada, but I can help you out as well. just pm me and I can give you whatever info I can.
If the tournament is on Dec 8th, you can still get it sanctioned. The sooner the better. |

PMs sent!
We are pretty excited. Custom d6s have been ordered, promo materials are being worked on.
There's even talk about setting up a live stream of the event on twitch.tv (our host location already does this for MTG events!) |

Pm sent back.  If you have any more questions Dave just let me know. Glad to see this tournament up and running!
Just let me know what the name of this tournament is and more details when you enter the listing and we'll edit this thread, and then sticky it in the list of Upcoming Tournaments above.
