So far the GenCon Bowl has been the largest tournament in North America 3 years running. The GenCon convention is also the largest gaming convention in North America.
Come out and see them both.
5 rounds of swiss style play ... lots of prizes and a free mini for everyone finishing the tournament.
All rules for the event at:
http://www.blood-bowl.net/GenCon/2006/GenCon2006.html
I strongly recommend pre-registration if you are not going to be visiting the convention on Thursday during the day as the lines in the morning for events can be very long.
Sign up for GenCon at: http://www.gencon.com
The Blood Bowl tournament is Event Type BGM - Board Game and the 2 days are events: BGM00730 and BGM00731.
Finally note ... if the NAF rep could approve the tournament ... much appreciated.

Galak-
Will there be a cool T-Shirt this year? I will probably not be able to make it this year, but would like to get a T-Shirt if possible.
Thanks. -RobO |

Thanks. -RobO No T-shirts ... sorry ... this year has been so insane for me with everything I'm trying to do that the T-shirt died on the altar of ... "I just don't have any good way to do this".
Also the guy who did the shirts (my father-in-law) ... well I'm not sure he was interested in doing them again this year.
Also ... I came home with a lot of those shirts last year and I'm trying to be a bit more reasonable with my spending cash these days ...
so the shirts actually went for a few reasons.
Sorry.

I can get you one Mel. I love those comics.
I'm making myself a note now but it would help if you could remind me as well when the time gets closer. |

I've a few questions for any of the locals in Indianapolis.
Has anyone been to the Easley Winery?
http://www.easleywine.com/
What are the local laws about the selling and purchasing of wine or spirits? Are there specific stores one must visit to purchase wine or is it non regulated? Does anyone know of a good wine/spirits store in the area of the convention centre?
Thanks in advance, |

There are only really two laws. Alcohol cannot be purchased in bottle or can form on Sunday from any location and you cannot have open containers of alcohol in a moving vehicle. Other than that ... you are fine.

That's a bit of important info.

Man, you mean the hooker and I have to wait till we get back to the motel? I guess I'll just have to keep her otherwise occupied  |

If you are ridding in the trunk with the hooker you are ok. As the open container just can't be in the passenger areas of the car.  |

Hmmmm
Pre registration actually ended on the 24th of June. You can still register for events now until the 21st but they won't mail you out the tickets. The Will Call line though is quite a bit shorter than the registration line so it's still worth registering ahead of time. |

From the tournament rules:
-------------------------------
The tournament will be 5 rounds of Swiss. Starting team will be 1,000,000. You will allowed your choice of giving 2 players each a normal skill or one player a doubles roll skill or mutation after rounds 1, 3, and 5.
-------------------------------
My question is, what do we do with the skills after round 5? |
