| Illinois is fast becoming the center of Blood Bowl in the US. I may need to move. Any jobs out there? |

7PM ??? 2AM
Am I reading this right? A one day tournament starting at 7pm.
How many games will that be, 3?
Not trying to be negative but could possibly see myself making another trip to Chicago just looking for some details. |

I was considering going to this tourney, but a 3 game tourney does not seem worth a 10+ hour car ride. 
Sorry not trying to sound negative, as already stated by Xtreme.
I wish you lots of success & hope the tourney is a great time by all!
I do however have one question.
Do you think all 36 spots will be taken? I mean unless its mostly locals attending, I really can't see folks making the long haul for 3 games.
(I hope I'm not sounding like a rude bugger, that's not my intention at all.)
Like I stated hope things go great, I'll be curios to know how many do attend when all is said & done.
Just my 2 cents.

| Not all tournaments have to be grand affairs. I wish there were more small tournaments all over the country. |

Ok point well taken, but I'd imagion that a small tourney like this would be a more local gathering of close proximity players. (I just can't see long distance journies for a 3 game tourney.)
Hey prove me wrong! (I hope I am wrong, I hope small tournies are successfull, if they are maybe I'll change my mind about attending one so far away)
Don't get me wrong I'd attend a 3 game tourney no problem if it were not to far to travle.
I'm not saying small tournies won't work. I'm just saying I don't think you would get many distant out of towners.
(I think I pretty much just repeated myself a bunch of times there. Well I need sleep ((12 hour midnight shifts not good))

That's just it... who cares if there are out-of-towners.
There should be hundreds of small tournaments going on. The NAF isn't about big monthly tournaments that draw people from all over the world. Our members should be holding events in their own regions all the time.
We are sending the wrong message if we keep telling people that you need people to travel to your event in order for it to be successful. |

I agree with Anthony 110% on this one - I've seen the issue as really being the next step for the NAF to take. I don't think we've sent the wrong message, we just haven't included this message or encouraged this process to date.
It's a completely natural result that coaches who become TOs will want as many people to attend as possible - we just need to help with the expectations of both TOs and attendees. If TOs are guilty of anything, we have been creating all these great prizes and collectibles and perhaps that's been too much the focus.
When the new NAF Tournament Director puts together the basic Tournament Kit which includes some NAF items, then the local, small tournament scene can be promoted and kicked into another gear. We just have to applaud the efforts of every coach that goes to a GenCon or RDV2, then goes home and puts on a tournament in the local gaming store. |

AdeptiCon is one of the United States' largest Games Workshop Club-run events drawing people from all over the midwest for Warhammer 40K and Warhammer Fantasy Tournaments. There 40K Team Tournament attracts people from all over the US.
We just wanted to add a nice little tournament of BloodBowl for the folks to do at night after they finished up there Fantasy/40K Tournaments, sit down, relax and bash some heads.
Will we fill up 36 slots?.....probably not, but that space was available. If we fill up all 36 that would be great ....if we attract people from far away, that would be even better.....

Ok OMM & Anthony I see your points, & now understand better what you mean. I just hope you guys don't think I was being petty or inconcidarite to "the small tourney system". Maybe I was reading & possibly sending the wrong message.
Well, who knows maybe I'll host a small tourney someday, instead of trying to plan a large tourney like I've wanted to do.
Thanks for the insight & showing me the light!

| I will be at the Adepticup, and you guys are proably right about it mostly being locals. The sponsors of Adepticon is www.adeptuswindycity.com. Currently at about 550 members, mostly in Chicagoland. I mention that because we honestly have no idea if it will fill up or not. It's a good break from the Warhammer/40k tournament battles for some, and the main reason for going for some others. I think it will do well, but it may not have the experience of players from a Chaos Cup or a Gencon bowl but will surely be a great time. Especially playing some BB past midnight into the waking hours....no beer, need coffee! |
