Anyone who can go I'd strongly recommend doing so since the more people who attend and play BB the more likely GW oz are to realise that they ought to be supporting BB properly.
It would also encourage them to have more tournaments which is a good thing.  |

| I think I'm going to try and get there meself - I may even have won some free accomodation down there, so it will just be a matter of saving up some pennies for petrol and food. |

Doubleskulls - is Mrs. Doubleskulls going and shopping Melbourne?
The only way I'd be able to go is if my wife comes too and hits melbourne with the credit card! |

Argh, it sounds awfully tempting, but

Any idea why it costs this much and what we might get for such a price? Or is this just GW being b*stards? |

Pretty standard prices for GW run events. They're typically the most expensive for the least value. That being said I plan on going, just on the very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very vague chance a good turnout might convinec them to support BB a bit more.
As a result of the price rise by GW though in terms of tourney costs, a lot of the fantasy tourneys moved to nicer venues as they could get away with charging a bit more and still be cheap, which was a good thing IMO. |

All,
Sorry I was more than somewhat delayed in getting on here (work committments), but I will be assisting organising for this event! Thanks to Babs for getting this on here before I noticed!
The Games Village, home to my weekly league, is the other sponsor and will be ensuring that everything is "GO!" for kick-off ... as will I.
BTW, Doubleskulls and Babs- you are both pikers!! Too scared to come down here and face the mighty Southern league style of footy! Wimps! |

$50 is actually pretty 'standard' for GW events and has been for some time. That said, the last GT that I went to here in Sydney had exceptional prize support with very swank trophies to match (I picked one up myself).
Is it worth $50 though? I think the jury is out on that one - after all, one of the factors for the $50 price tag for 40k & Warhammer are the custom tables with cool terrain that GW supplies - which is obviously not needed for Bloodbowl at all. I dunno, I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder as to whether it's good value or not. Personally, I think it's pretty good - $25 each day for a day out socialising and playing BB is pretty much a bargain for me so I don't mind coughing up, although it's definitely on the high side of price for what you get.
That said, GW hardly ever dip their toes into the official 'BB Event' arena anymore so I'd say bugger the cost, if you can get your bum there, do so and show GW that the local BB community is still alive and well!
It's a shame this isn't being held in Sydney, I'd be there in a flash... |

Yeah, true, this does go some way towards justifying the cost for me...

Likewise... not that I don't like going to Melbourne!  |
