| Tom - PM me about NAF tourney support, as I'm taking for granted it will be a NAF sanctioned event. |

last year... yes attendence was not that great for the Chaos Cup, but you also have to look at it from when the Cup was played. Games Day. How many people that play BB only play BB? or would choose BB over thier thousand dollar investments in 40k or Warhammer?
I know many here may not have that dilema, but i know a few of my friends who do. Sadly, here in the midwest the population is kind of sparse. so when a event comes to the area like gamesday, as a GW fan you had to choose last year.. WHFB/40k or BB.
BTW, i do think greggster and gregg Giersch are 2 different people
i still hold the staunch belief that even if GW drops the proverbial ball on BB Chaos Cup, we should still support and goto the Cup. I dont want the fanbase to be the blame. I dont want the excuse of lack of fan support to ever be used in canceling the CC We dont need to give them a reason to do it. |

Things that go BUMP in the night...
Anyone hear anything new and official in regards to The Chaos Cup. I just checked the GW events page and didn't see anything... |

| Hard to get excited about a one day tournament that will probably be over run by stars. |

In the category of good news. The guy running the Chaos Cup went to the Memorial Mayhem ... (I'm going to beat on all of you who ditched that tournament until it hurts). As a result we had the opportunity to talk to him.
Very good odds that the Chaos Cup will be a simplified version of the GenCon Bowl (ie no secret weapon players, but using the rest of the rules).
We'll see .... I have a meeting scheduled with him. He was planning the event for November last I heard.

While I didn't attend the Chaos Cup last year in my backyard, I have attended both 2003 and 2004 Gen Con Bowls. I think that there were a lot of coaches and levels of talent there. I particularly liked the way Tom ran it, when matching up coaches from the 2nd through 4th rounds. As it seemed to me most coaches were playing on an equal level. The first round is random, and the points kind of decide after that. I give him props for the way he handles it. I'm not much for socializing while playing, as I realize 2 hours goes quickly so I kind of stick with the focus on the game. Which probably hurts my points in sportsmanship, but I will try and improve that, as I realize that is very important in the game. I kind of would like sportsmanship along with painting to be tie breakers. Anyways, I will try to attend the Chaos Cup along with the Halfling Mug this year, and will give more feedback to them. I do hope Gen Con gets a major tourney, if not the Chaos Cup, perhaps another one.

I've been told that the NAF would not support trying to convince GW-US to move the Chaos Cup to GenCon without it being a 5 game tournament.
As for Sportsmanship ... we'll next year it will matter even less as I always make perfect Sportsmanship worth the value of a win and Painting worth the bonus points. This system has worked really well for me and I plan on continuing it. For me a tournament is not just about who wins the most but also the player who represents the best overall player who brings the most to the game.
I'll be curious to see the rules for the Chaos Cup. Wife might be making me choose between the Chaos Cup and Underworld Cup ... we'll see.
