Oooo a second resurrection tournament in Australia. Awesome 
I enjoy travelling for these things, but sadly in May I will be in Italy and therefore slightly out of range! Good luck! |

How many are you expecting? One might travel for a big weekend..but if it is "boutique" it may not justify the costs 
Good Luck regardless! |

I was expecting about 20, being the first real BB tourney done over here in many a year I don't really know. The tickets have just gone on sale through the GW stores as well as myself this week, and there has been a very good response to start off with. If the numbers grow I'll post it up here and let you know. Still got 3 1/2 months, so anything can happen 
What size events do you have over east? I was planning to actually come over for an event this year, but a few unplanned expenses may have put pay to it. Although I was speaking to a couple of guys in our league this week about Cancon being on, and they were quite keen to go next year.
As I said in my original post, if anybody does travel over, let me know and I'll sort out some where to stay with our local gamers.

We had 30 playing coaches at CanCon this year, 32 at Eucalyptus Bowl last year, and 42 at CanCon in 2006 (and 40 at EucBowl 2005) (there was some uncertainty about CanCon this year which probably contributed to the decline for CanCon in 2007).
These, however are the exception raither than the rule - most tournaments have somewhere between 6 and 20 coaches with the average being around the middle of those numbers. |

| Leviathan had a good turn out last year, but the results were cocked by a toooo heavy waiting on Sportsmanship and we have had a change of organising committee... plus Leviathan will be the first LRB5 tourney afaik so we will see what that does to numbers as well. |

| Actually Leviathan 2005 had 20 coaches, and 14 (from memory - I only visited briefly) in 2006. - It had 14 (or 15) in 2004 as well. |

The trophies, awrds and prizes for this weekend's Sandgroper Cup. There is also a bloodbowl poster, which is still at the framers as well.
The Sandgroper Cup.
The Sandgroper Cup is a powerful item, used by the Khemri to resurect the dead. The wealthy business man, Gill Bates, wants to have his own Bloodbowl tournament, but is worried that teams won't have enough players left at the end of the season to play in it. So he hires Jana Kroft, Tomb Raider, to steal the cup from a Khemri Tomb Pyramid. Gill uses it as a prize for his own BB tournament. Because of the cups power, all teams start every game fully healed and ready to go. Because of this and the generous purse, the Sandgroper Cup has no shortage of teams wanting to play in it.
The Q'ermitt-Sandgroper Award
The Q'ermitt-Sandgroper Award, is something that myself and fellow BB nut (spazzfist) have come up with. He runs a tournament in Canada called the Challenge of Q'ermitt. The theme behind his tourney is that the massively powerful Slann Mage Priest Q'ermitt is transporting Blood Bowl teams all over the world to face off to find out which is best for his own mystical purposes. The teams are tranported by means of portals created by the Old Ones. This tournament also uses a lot of custom pitch's, last year he had over 12. We both love playing on custom pitch's and so came up this idea to have a cross promoted event. The trophy is a perpetual trophy, so the person who makes the best custom pitch at each event will get their name put on it. The trophy also represents the portals used by Q'ermitt, with the sand on one side to represent Australia, and snow on the other to represent Canada. |

Awesome group of stuff to give away. Love that Q'ermitt trophy! Looks like it will be an awesome tournament - enough to put us Eastern siders to shame (well, speaking for myself anyway).
Really nice trophies are a nice touch! |
