In case you're lazy this is what it says for BB:

Set your alarm clocks now gentlemen.

I think I was a little too eager ringing the MO trolls at 8am this time round, but I bet I will have to do it next year just to stand a chance of getting in!

having said that, there were 200 tickets this year, and all the talk was that if it was popular then it would only get bigger and better.

I can't wait, and I am planning my team already (I planned it in the car on the way home ffs, even down to the team name and colour scheme! No hints yet though...)

I'm waiting to see if there are any changes in the use of Star Players before I even contemplate my next lineup. It'll be Orcs again though - just a more competitive team selection.

Not sure what to think here. GW already getting the move on next year. Thats not like them at all to be organised. Also shows that there probaby aren't any other GW BloodBowl Tournaments until next year. DOH! But I guess one is better than none.

As to whether I'll attend this. With the disgusting dice rolls at this last one I'm probably going to pass. Unless I get in a bit more of the game this year apart from Online Leagues. So not going to hold my breath. Oh and if you didn't see my team play you didn't miss anything. The dice have already been permanently retired! Along with a coin!

I don't think they'll be able to fit any more coaches in. Remember 20+ coaches didn't show.

nooo - I wanna give you a game mate, I never got a chance to play those sweet lizards!

it'll be a sad day if there's no BigD at a Blood Bowl

as for the tournaments, JJ mentioned that the plan was to have one Major a year at WW, and maybe arrange the others at other locations, such as having the Chaos Cup in the wild northern wastelands (like hartlepool or sunderland)

I reckon 2003 will be a big year for BB, in terms of tournaments, but 2004 will be even bigger as the scene grows

it's worth pointing out that the idea for having the chaos cup up north us MY idea, not JJ's!

the chaos cup is in chicago and the spike is in cancada (torronto iirc)

the dungeon bowl i heard was going to be in lots of places nothing confirmed yet though afaik

technically, it should be "under"... possibly "down under"

but I reckon cambridge would be better

I know that it isn't Australia, but I can't remember where instead... possibly Germany?

I heared probably Germany and then most probable Cologne.
Which would be great, because it's a 2 hour drive from Amsterdam. I'm still curious how they're gonna organise such a strange tournament as the dungeonbowl.......

Fiancee's b'day on the 7th of May.....hopefully I can rely on GW to delay their dates, a whole year ahead is just too organised for them surely?

Germany was something Andy hinted at ... although it has not been fixed.
Cologne was a complete guess by me, as this is where the games day is, so don't make it a rumor
