| why am I not surprised to see a whole bunch of NBA spirit in your tourney. I'd love to go, but being realistic enough to know that I probably can't. |

I'm also tempted to go not just for loving alberta but it's a chance to spite Spazzfist of another award! 
Clarification on the teams, especially the Star Players, you mean I can bring whirling death and other things to go dramatically wrong? And I can decide to blow the budget on Morg and have like only five players for hoots? 
Details man! If I'm going to go down in flames (like calgary does on a regular basis) then I need to know these things to prepare the proper figures! (Like smoking crater, etc.)  |

I'll be getting a complete rules set put up (hopefully by this weekend, but as it's not my site, I have to rely on the owner to put the stuff up for me). To clarify, NO star players allowed, the only exception is the secret weapon weilding SPs for the gobbo team, but they will cost the full amount (not the freebooted amount) and as they are SPs they can't receive any skill after each round.
Also as stated on TBB, there will be no team wizards, exception is the Halfing team that can buy a Chef for 150K plus any extra ingrediants (which must be bought when the Chef is bought during team creation and can't buy any more during the tourney).
Hope that answers some of your questions. Like I said, I'll try to get a full rules set put up on the website explaining everything, including all the other stuff, like painting, sportsmanship, etc. I will also try to get a registration form put up that can be printed off and sent in.
BTW, GW and House-Rulez.com are supplying some of the prizes, I'm waiting to hear back from some other companies, but still the prizes should be good. There may be a limited edition fig given away to those who complete all their games as well, this will be done in conjunction with another tourney (in Europe), but still in the planning stages, so nothing definate, but it's possible. |

Just to update this, I have heard back from Shadowforge and Hasslefree minatures and they will both be supplying prizes as well for this tourney.
Full rules document and registration form should be up on the site hopefully within the week (('m hoping), before the end of the month anyway
(but that's not certain as I have to rely on someone else to put it up on the website so if anyone wants me to send them a copy of the full rules, just email me). |

In case you missed the Edit in the top post here's the website to go to and get the full rules and registration form that you can print off and send in. Remember, as there is only room for 32 coaches, all coaches must pre-register.
http://www.members.shaw.ca/grots/
Just click on the BB tourney banner and it will take you to the tourney rules. |

Just an update, the prizes from GW arrived today and I was a little surprised as one of the things send was a very rare limited edition GW mini (and I'm NOT talking Rez GR here).
There will be other limited edition minis offered as prizes, but this rare GW mini will only be for the winner of the tourney (along with trophy, plaque, or whatever).
So go to the website and print off the registration form and send it in (along with your registration fee) to get the chance to play for this rare mini. |

| I will make the same offer here as I did on TBB, just in case some people missed it. Anyone who is out of province and is considering coming but worried about the expenses (like Spazz ), I will let them crash on my couch for that weekend to save hotel costs (though you are still resposible for your own food), all you have to do is pre-register for the tourney (so I know you're serious about coming) and contact me to tell me your interested in the offer (first come first served). |

Just an update on the prizes, along with the stuff from GW, Hasslefree and Shadowforge have sent some really cool stuff this week and I'll be picking up some limited edition minis from CyberHare at GenCon (probably will also pick up a signed copy of the BB novel for a prize as well).
So lots of great prizes, don't wait to regisiter. |

| There will probably be a third game added on Sunday (played from 4-6) and if you let me know ahead of time that you will be definately coming, I can waive the pre-registration requirement (you can pay when you get here). |

Hey guys, only one week left until the tourney in Red Deer. It's on the Labour Day weekend so you all should have time off. Red Deer is easy to get to, just fly into Calgary or Edmonton and Red Deer is right in betweent he two (about an hour and a half drive either way).
This is an NAF sanctioned tourney so come and get those rankings up. It will be a lot of fun and there will be lots of prizes, plus you get to meet me (that should be worth the trip). It's not too late, so come on down. |

And Torg hasn't mentioned the added bonus of the free squigs!
...yes a certain imfamous Goblin team has decided to show up and make an appearance, besides it was all the TBBF had available to send. (Or so they told me...Twist has to get his nails done, Ben is getting a perm, you know how Toronto people are... ) |
