Re: Team Sweden, Copenhagen 2012
One potential problem with this kind of selection procedure is ending up with 8 qualified Skaven/Wood Elf coaches for a team event where only one of each team can be taken. After all, there is no guarantee that the second best Skaven coach makes the best Orc coach. The draft for the Swedish-ETC team in Warhammer faces a very similar problem and the solution is largely based on electing a captain who then is responsible for picking the other players in the team (with reasonable motivation of course).
I'm not sure if there are already plans for which teams will be preferred for Eurobowl, but maybe it would make sense for e.g. the FUMBBL qualifiers to focus on finding good coaches for the teams where there is not yet a strong candidate (so currently, whatever Zerak's not playing).

Re: Team Sweden, Copenhagen 2012
I feel that is kind of silly that i shall pick a team where i haven't met half the people. I am starting to lean towards arranging a training camp weekend somewhere in central Sweden instead and let people show me their skills there instead of all theese qualifiers.
In that case my selection will be a more subjective choice based on theese parts.
*Participation and performance on the trainingcamp (main part).
*Participation and performance on Blood Bowl tournaments.
*Winning GothBowl or StockBowl(giving a direct spot).
*Spectating/playing Fummbl games of/with those intrested for even more info.
*General show of interest and dedication.

Re: Team Sweden, Copenhagen 2012
We have a tounament in Örebro - NärkeBowl during september. I understand that it is the close to Euroball to be a qualifier, but it could be a nice practise run for the team. Maybe even a qualifier for the next year?
For a training camp we have access to good facilities, Örebro universitet, at weekends for free. Living could be arranged.
At GothCon it was a bunch of coaches from Jönköping, inkluding the runner up. Does anyone have contact with that group of players? Think they was from "GoB - games and broadsword" that runs the league in Jönköping.

Really? The last few tournaments I've attended have all seen Skaven highly ranked. Come to think of it, last years GothCon final was Skaven vs SkavenThis is a problem yes, although it should have been, wood elf and undead, not skaven

Det var kul att träffa Tourach i Amsterdam under VM och ha någonsom fattade Svenska...fast det är ju min andra språk.
Blir nog kul ner i Köpenhamn (om mitt lag nu vill ha mig).

Re: Team Sweden, Copenhagen 2012
If we could arrange a training camp in Örebro 2-3 of June that would be great. Reason to not make it sooner is that i don't want it to conflict with Lincon or the Danish Championship. Remind an oldie, does early june conflict with examination season?Lard wrote:We have a tounament in Örebro - NärkeBowl during september.

StockBowl have the season 7 playoffs on the 2:nd of June, which will probably keep some coaches from going to Örebro...

9-10 of June would probably work much better for us in StockBowl.

Örebro University's spring semester ends 3/6. I'll see if we get into the premises after that.
