Here's a bunch of pictures of the entire mould process of the Spike! trophy reforged that Inspired Bronze sent me a few days ago. Nuts.

Here's some pictures of the mold stage:

This is the Wax Chasing stage, the final stage in making the mould:





















































































































Next stage is bronze and that'll take about 4 weeks. Looking crazy so far. The end of September is looking better and better!

Hope you guys enjoyed the pics.

40 pre registered and still plenty guys coming who haven't signed up yet. Should be another record breaker for the Spike!

[lordchaos]

49 guys signed up so far! That means at least 48 losers are coming to the Spike!

With 80 participants at Chaos Cup this year it sounds like you are going to have an awesome weekend! And a great trip - you get to play at the largest North American NAF tournament ever held this year with Chaos Cup now breaking that record, and you'll get to see the greatest trophy NAF will ever own debut in a couple of weeks!

Given that you won the NAF Championship this year, I'm rooting for you Kaare. Keep that mystic alive for when you arrive at the Spike! in a couple of weeks!

Looking forward to meeting you!

We have 50 coaches pre-registered so far. We have around a dozen or so players from Washington State that are coming out as well, plus we have around another dozen or half dozen locals. We had 56 coaches last year. I'm projecting 60-70+ coaches this year which is another Canadian and Spike! record. And with the trophy debuting this year it's going to be an awesome event.

If you haven't pre-reg'd you can still do so here and take advantage of the discount as opposed to paying at the door:

And that is why the Spike! is west right there. Where are you from? Alberta or Washington State? Or are you the guy coming from Campbell River?

If you haven't already, be sure to pre-reg and get the discount:

Thanks I'm 3/1/0 with Zons after day 1 (Tie in a zon vs zon and beating three orc teams) and the TD score is 5-0... So can't complain until now.

I did just miss the final on a tie breaker (we where two with 4/1/0 and one with 5/0/0), but got the 3th prize with 5/1/0 (TD score 10-0) after winning game 6. That makes me 11/1/0 (TD score 24-4) in majors this year

Cya in Vancouver,
