HaHaHa!

The rules are set by the big boss boys and they tell the winning bid what it will be. Strange, I know, but that is the system. Nate & crew will post soon I am sure.

Happy to hear so many people are so excited to attend but please remember that teams submitted bids not hard confirmed plans. We have only just received word of winning the same as you, so now we can start the process of booking and confirming details and sharing them as soon as possible. Also our bid included the plan to have the venue in a space with sleeping arrangements included.

cheers!

There should be an option when the details are revealed that will help you sort your accommodation.

But as Grant said, the bid is just a proposal. The final event plan is not quite ready yet, but don't worry. Everyone is in a rush to share the information.

Very Happy

This went out last week on all of the Amorical Cup social feeds:

"After speaking to key stakeholders regarding the interest of public health and
safety of coaches, their families and local communities, and coinciding with
current guidelines and restrictions, the Amorical Cup Ottawa organisation team
has decided to postpone the 2021 running of the event. Although great strides
have been made in recent months to vaccinate people in Canada, the US and
around the world, there is still a ways to go before we are all past this and safe to travel internationally.

The international nature of this event requires attendees to travel from cities
across North America, and hopefully the world. Travel and border crossing
restrictions will hinder our ability to welcome all coaches wishing to participate
and provide the renowned experience were are striving to bring. The Amorical
Cup has become a highlight event in the Blood Bowl tourney calendar, and
anything less than the biggest possible event we can organize feels like a wasted opportunity.

We have been incredibly proud and honored to have been selected to host the
Amorical Cup in our community and are disappointed that current
circumstances will prevent us from providing the Blood Bowl event we envision
and bringing the comradery of this gaming community to our fair city this year.
We look forward to welcoming coaches June 4-5, 2022 with the full weekend
experience and other gamer friendly extras that BB coaches have come to expect from the Amorical Cup weekend.

Right now, the most important thing all of us can do is focus our attention on
helping people and getting through this together. Please know that we remain
fully committed to hosting and will do our best to post updates for you through
our website and community forums. Take care of yourselves. We'll continue to
do everything we can to help our communities stay safe, informed, and connected."
