Having not actually seen Ian since the inaugural Eucbowl, Cancon will probably be the scene of our first serious discussions for this years event.
The primary source of change for this years event will no doubt come from the feedback we received from the players at last years event. However there were plenty of you guys that couldn't make it, and we'd like to grow the event this year so would like you to come along.
If you have anything you'd like to raise before Ian and I get together at Cancon, chuck it up here.
Hopefully reasonably soon after Cancon we'll start to put the event together and release all the details. |

Not much to say.. brilliantly run thing.. have it at the same venue, resurrection was gold. Maybe try and incorpate a double or two on the skill choices. Prizes were good too.... expect even bigger and better things from you in the trophy stakes Chunk  Isnt Mrs Doubleskulls expecting soon? has anyone heard anything? |

Mrs Doubleskulls is ecpecting in March I believe, which probably means I'll have to take a bit more responsibility for the show this time around so Ian can concentrate on being Daddy
I had some more ideas about prizes at one point, but can't seem to recall them at the moment. I know I prefer to focus on cool and appropriate trophies rather than product type prizes in general, though Blood Bowls lack of availability in Australia makes product prizes somewhat important as well. |

| I think it worked well last time mate. Some product for winning coaches to choose from.. and if there is extra as lucky door prizes etc. But you gotta have big and ludicrous trophys... everyone loves a trophy. Reckon you can pull off some sort of Eucalyptus tree trophy? Maybe Gold paint a Deeproot Strongbranch and mount him as the trophy. |

| I really enjoyed it too. My only real complaint was 5 rounds was a short tourney - but it was enough to have my vie for top spot in the last round, so I was happy with that. |

Well Freya is due in March, so that will either mean
a) I'm utterly exhausted and have no time for BB at all
b) I'm utterly exhausted and still play BB anyway
Regardless we'll see what we can do. |

I called them again this afternoon - yet again the person I need to speak to wasn't there.
So I've sent an email to the clubs general email address, which I'm told she is the most likely one to read - so fingers crossed I'll have a date quite soon. |

Yes, A date with Chunky
Seriously, I'd like to have a firm calender spot for the tournament so I can help plug it! |

| I think we were thinking August over September (to keep distance from MOAB). |

| August is good for distance, but keep in mind this is when the Greenstone Cup is on in NZ and also when Komplete Fanatik ran last year in Melbourne (our very own GW BB tournament). Could it go another month earlier? |

Is the Greenstone Cup still occuring? They haven't registered the NAF event since '04.
I think Chunky knows when the GW tournaments are. |

I'm not sure GW knows when their tourneys will be on yet - its too damn hard to organise around them (trying to move around them is why we ended up on Fathers Day last year), and their events are starting to be looked down on enough in other games (WHFB I know for sure) that I think we'd be the bigger draw tbh. I would like to try and avoid KF though.
My preference is for July, as I'll be moving once again in August, making all the logistics more difficult considering I'll probably be in Broken Hill or Wagga. |
