Hi folks,
I just got preliminary approval to run a Bloodbowl Tournament at Arisia (S/F con in Boston, Jan 13-15. This would be a 1-day tourney on Saturday the 14th. There would also be opportunity for pick-up gaming Friday night and Sunday.
http://2006.arisia.org/
If you register for Arisia by Dec 15, you can get a weekend admission for the cost of Saturday-Only at the door ($35). Admission includes snacks and beverages in the Con Suite, and access to the Dealers Room, Art Show, and all the other workshops, programs, and activities of the convention.
If you???re thinking of coming, please let me know. Having an estimated head count will be helpful as I negotiate space requirements in the near future.
Also, who can provide NAF sanctioning for this? Following the ???contact us??? info, I had sent an inquiry to Gregg Giersch as RTC on the 21st, but haven???t heard back yet. Is somebody else doing US sanctioning?
Cheers,
Maureen |

Gregg is the man you need. I will let the HBBL know and see if I can get clearance for the event 
Let me know if you need anything to help out. Spreadsheet for scoring, cloned website, etc  |

| I will get with Gregg and make sure the event is sanctioned, Mo. Besure to look at the various event software to become familiar with how they operate - although a tourney of 6 - 12 coaches can be just as effectively managed by pen and paper.... I was always amazed watching John Lewis run the Underworld tournament with just a pencil... |

Edit:
"The Death Star is fully operational..." ok, so it's just a website and not a space station, but it's ready for you to register for a wonderful time in January!

I added the event to the tournaments section (if this is a duplication of effort let me know Mo and I'll delete it) as well, and also added it to House-Rulez, BBC, and the SG forums. |

Exciting news, the GW store in Harvard Square is providing great prize support, including painted Human and Dark Elf teams! The Human team picture is up on the website now, click on the news icon. The Dark Elf team will be posted as soon as I have a photo.
Yay,
Maureen |

Hmm, we still haven't heard from Gregg. Its been over a month since I sent him email. Is his contact info in the RTC list correct? Mr. Monkey, have you had any luck finding him? (And have your Chaos Dwarves found a good therapist yet? They're not really chaotic, they just have trouble sublimating.)
Meanwhile, more great prize news. Danger Planet is donating an unpainted team, Pandemonium Books is donating several copies of the Blood Bowl novel, and Arisia will provide funding for a legacy trophy!
Cheers,
Maureen |

More exciting prize news:
Danger Planet Games in Waltham has donated 2 unpainted team box sets -- Khemri and Nurgles Rotters. That's 4 teams up for grabs now!
And Pandemonium Books in Harvard Square has confirmed they will be donating copies of the Blood Bowl novels.
Cheers,
Maureen |

| This is going to be a fun one guys! I know $35 is on the high end, but with four teams up for grab, that should help ease the pain |

And I just found out that this year the Con Suite and the Gaming Rooms are on the same floor. So any time you get a chance to duck down the hall, you can grab free snacks and drinks. Arisia's always had an above average Con Suite, and this year, they quadrupled its budget!
Cheers,
Maureen |

Woohoo!
Arisia confirmed the final funding request for our legacy trophy. We're commissioning local artist Scott Lefton to create it. Rob will get this up in the News section on our website soon, but I couldn't wait to share Scott's preliminary illustration. Your name and team could be engraved on this for lasting fame:
Cheers,
Maureen |

Our final big prize photo is now up at the website -- the painted Dark Elf team provided by the nice folks at the Games Workshop store in Harvard Square. Click on the News icon.
Dec. 15 is the last day for a price discount for a weekend membership to the con. Weekend and day passes will be available at the door.
Cheers,
Mo |

| Dec 15th is tomorrow so if you've been thinking of signing up and want the added perks of the whole convention at the same price you'd pay at the door for Saturday only, then you need to sign up |
