OK. I've got some communication going with the Philcon people.
I did find out one thing that could put a hurting on things.
The 1-day entry cost for Saturday is $35. Now there wont be an extra cost for the tournament, but $35 would be a bit steep.
I'm trying to see if I can get a discount but probably wont be able to get it lower than $20 (the entry fee for the other 2 days).
Would the $35 or $20 turn you away? It wouldn't include food or anything else. |

| I'll have to look into that. I've only been to the Con once and didn't do a lot of looking around. |

There's also a lot of *unofficial* parties throughout the evenings at cons like this (and Arisia!). The con is not allowed to serve alcohol. However, private parties at the hotel, open by invitation, may  So there is a strong tradition of other cons sending party-squads to boost their events. Also crews that are putting in bids to run World-Con will be hosting parties to show off their organising prowess in the hopes of winning votes. Usually these parties will have people handing out invitations to other con-goers all day long. Depending on the quality of the parties, there will be a range of snacks and drinks available, and the better ones will have alcohol and some substantial food. If you find one serving Rocket-Fuel, you've scored.
If you're going to be gaming all day -- be sure to talk with folks who are tied in with the con, like whoever is coordinating the game room -- so they can round up invitors to go to the game room and hand out invites!
For instance, I'm in the middle of negotiating with Arisia over funding for a really spiffy legacy trophy for the ArisiaBowl. Not only will I take this on the road to display at other BB tournies, but it will get sent with Arisia parties to other cons. So if all goes well, it will be at the Arisia party at Philcon next year!
And if you show up at the door of a party with your con badge, you can probably quickly acquire an invitation 
Cheers,
Maureen |

| We got the signal. Mongo is planning on coming, and I should be able to be there too. We're rounding up the troops to see who else we can bring. I'm also putting word out to my guys around Reading. One day tourney should be good for many people's schedules. |

Yay! Also be sure to check on registration costs & deadlines for next year. The earlier you join, the cheaper the rates, and they'll likely be selling memberships for next year at the con. I think Philcon also does group discounts... so with advance planning you might be able to herd folks into signing up as the Bloodbowl Group.
I didn't get the ArisiaBowl organised early enough this year for the really cheap early bird rates either, but we'll be all set to hit the ground running next year.
Cheers,
Maureen |

| If Jay can get us in for $20, that would be excellent. I know some guys are planning on attending. Let us know what the entry will be so that we can prepare everyone ahead of time. |

Doesn't look like I'll have any luck getting a discount. No one seems to want to help. The only thing I've got is that if you are under 25 years old you can get in for $25.
I'll keep plugging. I haven't heard from the Game organizer in a while.
I still need to find out if I can do the 4 rounds that I want.
If I had 4 rounds, would that turn anyone off? It would give you more for your money. |

About 1/2 hour after the con opens (not sure when that is though).
That'll make it hard for you unless you can get off from work that day.
I'm also looking into a group rate. I would need at least 10 people to get that rate.
Who would be interested if I can get the rate? Not sure yet if it's even possible at this point. |

Just put up a posting for the tournament in it's own thread.
If you are planning on coming please respond there and give me an email. I want to get a good count for it.
I think I can get a group rate if we can get 10 people but I'll need to know ASAP. |
