FA Cup November 16 - Aberdeen (possibly)

The Far Albion tournament is one of the more important minor tournaments. It is held in the North East corner of the distant island of Albion, Northwest of the Old World across the Sea of Claws, which means that normally only one or two Old World teams make it to the island to compete against the local Blood Bowl teams. The Far Albion tournament cup (or FA Cup as it is known) used to be a stunning trophy, studded with diamonds and crusted with emeralds. Sadly it was stolen in 2145 and had to be replaced with what was meant to be a temporary tin replica. The original FA Cup never re-appeared, however, and now the battered old tin replacement has great sentimental value, especially for the local Albion teams. Prizes for the tournament consist of the trophy.
If i was to try and resurrect this tourney as it used to be, as a 1 dayer in Aberdeen, how much interest would there be?

Too far for me, but good luck if you do try and get it running.
Dare I ask if you're also considering restarting the greatest tournament Pease Bay ever saw...?

Would be interested but can't make the 16th.
In fact the date might not be the best considering the Stirling guys are having their tournament on the 23rd.

Would be very tempted, but probably too close to OchilBowl for me to make both. Any more than one a month and I reckon I'd be on shoogly ground at home.
