We are excited to announce the second annual Philly Phrakus tournament.
With the first year behind us, we've worked out most of the kinks and are expecting this year's tournament to be a ton of fun.
Rob (karllagerbottom), co-TO, has arrange some pretty exciting prizes. I'll let him fill you all in on the details himself.
Once again, this will be a 5 round, TR 110, Swiss style tournament. Still the only TR 110 tournament in the US.
Details for the tournament can be found at this web site: http://www.sju.edu/deckman/philly_phrakus
One important note, the Phrakus will be held in a new location at Showcase Comics in Bryn Mawr, PA. Address and directions are available on the Web site.
If you have any questions feel free to contact us. You can email us at philly.phrakus@gmail.com or pm either of us.
I hope to see you all there. |

Ok folks, as Jay mentioned I am handling the prize support for The Philadelphia Phrakus 2006. I am working on a number of surprises for the people who make it to Philly for our tourney, but I am also looking for some feedback from the teeming masses.
The winner of the tourney will be getting a "Pro Painted" Blood Bowl team. There will be three teams to choose from for the winner and I am looking for your feedback on which races should be amongst the choices.
Please see my Poll Question at the link below to cast your vote and/or give your opinion.
More details on this, and other prizes, are to follow...including examples of the painters work and possibly "Work In Progress" pictures of the Prize Team.
Stay tuned...and cast your vote. 
-RobO
P.S. Regarding the use of the term "Pro Painted" above...this is the real deal...please do not read this as the "Pro Painted" that you see on eBay.
The prize team will be painted by a Golden Deamon winning painter...you will have an opportunity to see examples of his work once I get my act together and can post some pictures. (Wait till you see my Dwarfs  )
EDIT: Based on popular demand...here's the link!

where's the poll?
So I figure if it's just Rob, Jay and myself, I got a good shot at getting one of the teams.  |

I'm afraid I'm only good at school stuff like beer, getting rejected by women, and more beer. You got a final in those, I'm your man. |

ok...I'm going. 
Need to get my plane tix. It'll probably be a quickie, fly in Friday night, fly out Sunday type, need to save my time for Gencon. 
But I'm not missing out on beating...er....supporting my friends in philly, unless life gets in the way. so far, so good.
More details to follow when I get my travel plans worked out. If I can take an extra time, I will. Regardless, just point me to best philly's got to offer in local delicacies and a few beers, and I'll be happy.
Now, what to play............... |

Ok Folks...it looks like the results are final and the winner of the Philly Phrakus 2006 will be able to choose a professionally painted team from between Necro, Ork, and Skaven.
POLL RESULTS:
http://www.bloodbowl.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=2938
The Necro team caught me a bit by suprise, so I am still in the process of obtaining and preparing the players of that fun team.
(Look for some fun conversions here. )
The Ork team, as some of you seemed to have guessed, will be a Shadowfordge Female Orc Team...complete with cheerleaders.(I have been busy with a couple of "real life" issues, so I still don't have any photos to show-off, but these teams promise to be sweet.)
I am also very happy to announce that Norse will be painting a mini for the Phrakus prize table. I'm sure that most, if not all, of you are aware of his great painting/converting ability...but in case you're not, check out some of his work at the following links:
Ripper Bolgrot
Black Ork Blockers
Blitzers
Ork Linemen and Gobbo
Throwers and Gobbo
Da Secret Weapons
Cool Troll Conversion
The person lucky enough to win this prize will receive a voucher at the tourney, and he/she will be able to select any single Blood Bowl mini (Including Big Guys) to be painted. (mini not included...the Necro Team issue alone should tell you all about my ability to read minds. )
Speaking of Norse...the prize table should also include a couple of the outstanding new Blood Bowl Snow Trolls from Impact Minatures.
I hope to see you there...more info to follow.

Unbelievable prizes. I'd just take a philly cheesesteak and a beer. 
You didn't have to go to all the trouble for me.
Hopefully I can get one thing cleared from my schedule and get the offical confirmation soon. At least I'm already registered. |
