I talked with GW this past week and they gave EndZone Magazine the go ahead to run a tournament will full support from them including prizes.
Once I get all the details finalized they will post notification on the GAMES DAY BALTIMORE 2007 homepage.
I would like some feedback on this, especially b/c ive never done anything this big before. I hope to hear your thoughts and see you there on June 23rd.
Thanks.

Just to give you fair warning, we at the Adventurer's Guild have attempted to run this tourney at past Baltimore GTs and Games Days and have gotten limited support from GW.
Make sure you stay on them and make arrangements early. They are incredibly busy on that weekend so make sure you re prepared going in. |

Im up for the challenge at GAMES DAY.
Here is what im looking for:
NAF Sanctioning
Advice or Ideas for the type of tournament
Let me know if you're thinking about going - ezpublisher@endzonemagazine.com
GW seemed extra willing to help me with this and they promised prize support.
I have no reason to think that they will be difficult to work with. Everything so far seems to be the contrary.
Please let me know if there is anything that I should need to know....
This is my first REALLY BIG TOURNEY.
I've run small events locally, but not anything like a GAMES DAY tourney...
Thanks,
James |

Actually, we ve had more success running Games Day tourneys than at Grand Tournaments. We had, I think, 12 for GD tourney two years ago. We did 3 rounds Swiss.
Don t expect a huge turn out just because there s a lot going on at GD and not a lot of people are willing to commit the full day and the $40 entrance fee to just BloodBowl (some people are silly like that). But if GW does some advertising for you, you should definitely be able to best our turn out of 12... that was on a couple of days notice!
We can discuss further at the Bar Brawl. |

FNBBL would probably be good for 2-3 perhaps more depending on details.
$40 just to get in the door is on the steep side... especially for us BB only types 
We are only a short drive away from the Northern VA (DC) area.
Things to help get people there:
- Details of how it is going to be run early... Money to start team, LRB4/5, skill progression.
Also whether non-GW minis will be permitted and whether painting is required (part of the points system)
- With one day only to play with depending on opening/closing time you get 3 games max in there. Check with some of the others that have one day tourneys (Arisabowl for one).
- Determining a winner may be difficult given the 3 games, unless the numbers are very low. Be prepared for using some tie-breaker method.
- Prizes, Prizes, Prizes if GW is stepping up with prizes, then use it advertise what they are so it will draw in folks.

| I'm in! I can't wait to try out the Blood Bowl 7's! Just not sure what team to try! I downloaded the rules from the Endzone magazine site, are these correct? |

If that is true...is it a fair assumption that the Games Day Tourney is dead as well?
EDIT - I just spoke with Direct Services, while they had info on one other "club" tournament, they know nothing of a BloodBowl tournament. Of course, that's not to say anything won't happen, but I wouldn't expect it.
Screw it, drive to Boston for the Brouhaha!!! |

Apparently there were 20-25 folks playing Blood Bowl at Games Day. (According to what I heard from Non-Blood Bowlers at my local game store.)
A big thanks goes out to EndZone for confirming the tournament...thanks alot.
-Rob
P.S. I will apologize in advance if this turned out to be a completely different Blood Bowl tourney held at Games Day. |

Hey James,
Be careful with what GW promises you mate. I speak first hand and can tell you horror stories of our local store who runs VERY successful tourneys for all GW events and they have literally crapped on us many times and not came through with anything prize related. You might want to have a back up plan just in case.
Glad to see you're still active and hope the Necromancers have done well for you
Peace,
David |
