Cause theres me holding the GW SPIKE for winning the 2006 SPIKE! (far left) Now if your tourney is the same (with that actual SPIKE Trophey, then I'll have to possibly make a defence to my prize.

To answer some of the Questions,
Yes this is the G.W. Spike??? Games Workshop Canada is looking for ways to involve their local gaming clubs in promoting the Tournaments for all their games (including Blood Bowl). This is the first attempt, therefore I believe that GW Canada is making a real effort to keep the Spike Tourney in Canada. SO, Come out & support it.
The Alberta Blood Bowl Association has held a tourney for the last 3 years here in Calgary called the Apocalyptic Challenge over the July long weekend. Last year 2006 we had 20+ coaches playing for the right to call themselves the best Blood Bowl Players in the west.
The Spike Magazine Trophy will be held over 2 days
Price will be $30.00 CND in advance or $40.00 at the door
With a total of 7 games played (we tried 8 last year, TOO LONG)
There will be trophies & points award for:
Best Painted Team (including coaches, cheerleaders & extras)
Best Sportsmanship (Voted by your fellow coaches)
There will also be Specialty Trophies Awarded as well
End Zone Hog Award (Most Td???s in total ??? most in 1 game as tie breaker)
Guillotine Award (Most Casualties caused in total- most in 1 game as tie breaker)
The Raspberry Slushy Award (Given to the team who suffers the most causalities in total - most in 1 game as tie breaker)
There will also be a 2nd place trophy
As well the Spike will be in Calgary and the WINNER will have his name & team engraved on it with the blood of your fallen foes. 
We are looking into other give aways as well ??? just for showing up.
If you have any other Questions post them.
Hope to see everyone here we have space for 150 coaches.

I have to be honest ... I'm psyched to see the Spike getting proper support now. I think the fanatical members of the NAF have done a great job helping where they can to get all four GW Majors back into the right mode.
Thanks ToppyT.

I agree with this...I am happy to see someone trying to return this to "major" status. Having this anounced this far in advance should help in getting a nice response.
I think I may be returning to the Great White North for this one.

Everyone is welcome. Including Rob & Mr. Starscraper ( we welcome the best of the best & worst of the worst (the Raspberry slushy is a VERY important title) 
We have made inquires to the actually trophies (we have a trophy maker that we have gone to in the past) - They will look very cool - (everything willing)

| Cool! I think it's a fantastic idea that the Spike travels around the country. No reason Toronto has to host everything. It's unlikely I'll be able to make it but I wish you guys the best of luck! |

Well us in this Edmonton crew just got back after the Hyperspace route back home. We all had a blast with the crew in Calgary and look forward to more Spike! held out West. Next year we'll see what we can do to get even more players out for much stomping!
Now if only those wimps from out East would come out...   |

It was a great time, 28 coaches from all over Alberta and a few from Vancouver, BC. It was great to meet old friends and meet new ones. Didn't do that well wtith the points and standings, but I was there to have fun. It will be great to see it bigger and better next year.
Will post some pics when I have some more time. |
