More info:
http://www.talkbloodbowl.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6383
In short: we are considering a tournament to determine the best European BB nations. The idea is that a team of, for instance, 8 coaches comes from each nation taking part, and that those coaches play matches against coaches from other nations. The winning nation will be the nation whose team collects the most points etc.
If you are interested in taking part in this tournament, get onto TBB (follow link) and let us know.
The first step we will take (Lucy and me, mostly) is to find out how many nations could actually show up with a team (empty spots can always be filled with Dutchies). Therefore we need to have contact with dedicated "Team Captains" who are willing to get a team of enthusiasts ready. It is easiest if you contact us through Talkbloodbowl, so that we have everything in one place.
A good location for the tournament is known in Amsterdam, and november is considered to be the right month for the event. Right now, we are already in contact with German and Belgian people. (and french too I think, and Brits of course) We do not (yet) have contact with spanish or italian coaches (a combined italian-spanish team, for instance, is a possibility) and neither with scandinavians/fins.
Cheers,
Redfang
PS Squiggoth, you can contact us with whatever bullshit you have to report through here  |

So, a thread on TBB... How nice. Can't you just copy and paste everything to this site or kick TBB's webmaster's butt to repair his site or something like that?
By the way, you should think of the country you'd like to see losing and put me in there as a spare dutchie player (empty spots can always be filled with Worst Playing Dutchies  )

We had long ago figured that out ourselves.
The reason we put it on TBB is that there we can organise and post stuff without all you spam. Here we can just ignore you

Sounds good, but how will you decide who gets to play if more than 8 people from one country want to join up?
Top eight from a one off NAF sanctioned tournament, overall player rankings, who's got the most money? |

perhaps there could be national heats to determine the best players, subdivided into regional level heats?
I'll volunteer for running some East Anglian heats, and I know I could get a fairly significant number of people interested from just the Cambridge store alone, never mind the big ones in norwich and ipswich.
this is sounding like a better idea by the minute |

| How about a big national heat where the prize for the top eight is tickets, transport etc. to the European cup? It would, to a certain extent, remove money from the deciding factors. |

| that would be the ideal situation, but where is the cash going to come from, apart from possibly entrance fees? I think it's worth looking into but sadly I doubt it will happen in real life... |

Well it sounds like it is a good idea all round. So what about a new section to this website with a map of your country with little marks (stars / asterix / or whatever) in the main areas where there are NAF members.
Now do not panic, no personal info would be given away. But it would mean that you could launch a number of new 'rooms' (lack of a better term I'm afraid, computers are a bit new to me still). These rooms would be so 'local NAF members' could e-mail each other, agree a place of meeting - a local GW would be ideal if there is one - and take it from there.
Like a room / area here called ITALIAN COACHES: and then a map of Italy with an asterix or star to mark every NAF member and roughly where in the country they are, no address just a rough area like: OLLEGGIO, BORGOFORTE (MANTOVA) etc....
It may come to nothing, but I know that if I knew there were 15 other offical NAF'ers within travel distance I would do my level best to play one offs and I would be very interested in a league....
Just an idea of how we could use this wonderfull resource (the website) to further Bloodbowl gaming |

.... Oh yeah, so why was all this typed here???
It would give every coach a great idea of how many peeps are in your country, and if alot how many are local. I would be more than happy to get involved in 'regionals' and it would be a great organising point for future events and to encourage the sceptical that it is another good reason to join up with the NAF!!!  |

| About determining who plays: I think the best thing to do for organising something like this is to find a contact person/team captain in each country willing to take part. This "team captain" can then determine in any way he sees fit who plays for his team/country. |
