Tournament Report |
|---|
Spike! Magazine blood bowl championship 2023 went down at Cascades Casino in Delta BC. Coaches traveled from as far away as Detroit and Texas! They were joined by a large contingent of coaches from nearby Washington State and Alberta Canada to play the local group of host Thunderbowl coaches in a 6 game celebration of the PNW Blood bowl community!
Competition was high and close as tie breakers were need to settle the top spot as 4 coaches ended the weekend with identical 4-0-2 records. Local hero, Kavin Kishore cam out on top by way of TD differential following closely by another Thunderbowl member, Geoff Roscoe. Third went to Thunderbowl's own Shawn Wowk, completing the top 3 sweep by the host club in a long long time. Well done gentlemen.
62 coaches took part setting a new record for attendance in a Canadian blood bowl tournament. Thanks to all the amazing coaches that came out for a fantastic weekend! |
