Location: GW - Harvard Square in "The Dungeon"
Dates: 07/31/2004-08/01/2004
Deep within the caverns of Kul-Dor lays the fabled Hand of Roze-El. Secreted away for decades, the Hand lay dormant. But, knowledge of the Hand could not be contained indefinitely and has surfaced at long last. Orcs, dwarves, goblins, elves, men, and even the living dead have begun to gather their armies in hopes of acquiring the ancient artifact through force of arms.
The region stood upon the brink of war.
Desperate to stave off the destruction of his homeland, The Keeper of the Hand called for a Council of Generals. Facing certain death should his gambit not work, he approached the varied rulers and whispered a single word.
"Tournament???"
Delighted with the idea and each certain of his own team's victory, the warlords commanded Melifaxis to arrange for a tournament worthy of their vast domains.
Who will emerge the victor, grasping the fabled Hand of Roze-El? Will it be you?
Whether the relic is the actual hand of Roze-El has been the source of countless debate among Blood Bowl historians. One group firmly believes the Hand to be that of the fabled priest that the dwarf Roze-El named himself after, while another group firmly believes it to be the hand of the dwarf himself, still many more believe it to be something entirely different...
One thing is for certain. Whosoever possesses the Hand reigns supreme upon the pitch!

| The best I could offer right now is a "maybe." Where in Boston would you be thinking of having it? |

Right now I'm trying to quage interest, but options I'm exploring are:
A Hotel right off the MA Pike 15 miles from Boston
The GW Store in Harvard Square
A Scout Camp 15 miles from Boston
A Hotel right in the city (but this will be more costly) |

I voted yes but it would really depend on funds at the time and what other tournaments are being held around the same time.

I'll try to make it if I can.
I'd be coming from Philly so it would be a long ride ... but blood bowl is so worth it. |

| I still need to make my way up to check out the Harvard Square store. I hear it's really cool. I can't say I'm very good at Blood Bowl but I'd be happy to spend a day playing! =) |

| I'll probably be interested in attending. As jaylazer said, it will be a drive, but it will be really worth it. |

| Fall is fast approaching so I thought I would bump this up and start to examine dates/places once again. |

| I'd put my team on a pitch in Harvard Square or anywhere in the great city of Boston Mass... |

100% for sure, probably. Cmon snots! That's self-explantatory. 
I'd love to go and I'm always up for a road trip. After the Chaos Cup I think I have Dave hooked on tourney play and another guy in the league is interested too. Now if I can just convince my wife!
I'll bring the Scotch! |

Ok, Fall is fast disappearing on me and I don't have things ready to go. I'm not the kind of person to do things half-way so I don't want to just throw something together.
I can either aim for the Spring or aim for next Fall. For those who expressed interest would either work out?
Minion number two will be born in early April, so it would probably be early March if I did the Spring. In fact, as I was thinking of calling the event The Boston Massacre, March obviously holds special significance. Let me know what you think.
Hmm..March 13th is even a Saturday. |
