NAF Tournament in Ann Arbor, MI. Nov 23, 24 2002

Okay ... now I'm confused ... I paid 15 USD for the weekend pass ... what else did I need to do?

If you check the Pre-Reg pages of the UCon site you'll see that you can also pre register for events. Each event at the convention has it's own costs involved on top of the 15 to get in the door. For the Underworld cup it's $3.00 per time slot, four slots so it comes to $12.00.

I have to admit that kinda wrong or maybe I'm too spoiled by GenCon and Origins where most events are free with your admission unless it was like a Magic the Gathering sealed deck tournament where you needed to also play to cover the 30 USD worth of cards you were given as part of playing in the tournament.

Anyway ... I'm committed now to going .. so I just I need to cough up the other 12 bucks to actually play the game ..

Hey Neo ... is a different John Lewis the auctioneer for the auction? Says John Lewis is the auctioneer and that the auction runs from 1-4. Which overlaps with Round 2 ... just curious.

Assuming no MUST have auction items looks like there will be penalty of time to play some Dungeonbowl between rounds 1 and 2 if anyone wants to try the board out with me. ... too bad I only have one of them.

I was sort of wondering what this entry fee of 12USD a head was going to get us. I understand the need to rent the hall, but generally that is the price of admission to the CON itself. In my past experience, any game fees were to insure that you actually participate in the game you scheduled (and were refunded upon participation) or for prizes. With just those that have already stated on the board they will attend, this is adding up to a nice stack of change. I am not trying to complain. I just think that an explanation as to why $12.00 would help put mine and other minds and wallets at ease a little.

I as well will be there regardless and look forward to a great time

[Twist]

I am in! I've just secured transportation to come down there and show you Yanks how the game was meant to be played*. We're gonna foul ya, break some skulls, push ya inta the crowd, you name it, its in the Canuck game plan... Heh heh heh!

But seriously**, it will be cool to put faces to names, meet the 'merkin BB fanatics***, especially when I'll be seeing your names in the NAF standings shortly. I'm sure it will be a blast!!!


*Provided Lord Nuffle graces me with good dice rolling ability...

**trying to re-earn some sportsmanship votes!

***Especially to see your faces when I'm killing your players!

[Deathwing]

I think the mandatory pen/pencil requirement is a bit unfair.

Then again, I took about 15 to Spiky for NAF forms etc, they all went 'walkies' and I ended up borrowing my opponent's!

Nope, that's me, I run the auction. I'm hoping ot make it short so I can get in on the second round earlier... or just start it a little late.

We will have prizes! The money for each round actually goes to the Con for the space. It's a beautiful hall and we should have plenty of room.

I wish the cost was lower, but I don't have a lot of control over that.

[Anthony_TBBF]

So do we pay that extra $12 when we get there? I already paid my 15 pre-reg.

When you arrive, you'll get tickets for the rounds, each ticket cost $3.
($3 X 4 round = $12.)

Anthony, did you get any confirmation from the UCon people about your pre-registration? I payed and recieved my pay-pal reciept but havn't heard anything from UCon.

[Da Scum]

Wait, important thing went past there...we can bring our own beverages to the games...right I'm bringing Guinness. I tend to play my Goblins even wilder when the coach is in a FINE mood. ("Hmm...let's see, yeah I think I can take him...that Three Dice your call right?") Just remember my idea of sportsmanship is I expect heckling of my incompetent team if I decide to go Gobbo.

And remember, us Canuck players aren't arrogent, just Superior.

Once more into the breach my friends...and make sure the gun-cotton is packed in right too...

[Anthony_TBBF]

That's what I got as well, no other confirmation. I suggest printing out your PayPal receipt and bringing it with you.

I got in touch with some of the gents taking care of pre-regs and they said they haven't sent me anything because they are backlogged at the moment. I'm going to print out the pay pal receipt anyway but they're supposed to be sending out some other confirmations.

[Anthony_TBBF]

Cool, thanks Brian!

w00t! The Underworld Cup is this weekend!

The Canadians are meeting at the local trading post tomorrow before hitching up the dog team for the perilous trip to Ann Arbor. Looking forward to meeting the other TBB folks at the tourney, good luck this weekend!
