I attended last year and had an absolutely wonderful time. I highly recommend attending.
I also recommend drinking less the night before the tournament at the otherwise wonderful Gordon Biersch https://gordonbiersch.com/locations/columbus/

I think the problem here is that you stopped drinking at some point.
I'd have a hard time tearing myself away from the GB Hefewiezen..so good...

Tourny Rules CLARIFICATION:
I had a coach ask about including Specialty/Star Sideline staff listed in the DZ1/2 release(s) such as the goblin "Fink da Fixer".

This extra staffing are considered inducements and as such are not allowed.
The only inducements allowed are listed in the approved tourny rules packet.

Thank you

Coaches!
Are you... :
...on the fence?
...always waiting til the last minute?
...unwilling/unable to navigate the Origins Website?

We gleefully welcome on-the-spot/day-of registrations! Hand over some 'Con "Generics" tokens and join the fray!

and...
Did I happen to mention I do have teams available for anyone who wants/needs one?
Forgot it at home?
Can't find them in the storage room?
Just can't find the room to pack it for travelling?

We got ya covered. I have a number of teams I'm happy to lend.
Email/contact me so we can make sure yo uhave what you need.

Coaches!
Origins is Under Weigh!
The Origins Event Guidebook lists all events in The Gaming Hall (Convention Hall A).

BE AWARE
All the events listed in the Origins Guidebook show the SGG team set up at space 507.
THIS IS WRONG!

We are in the space designated "517"
Enter the Gaming Hall (A) at the bottom of the escalators and once within follow the far-right wall to the back corner.
We have that entire corner.

If all else fails there's a large red "SGG" banner 20 feet up against the back wall of the hall. Find that!
Looking forward to seeing everyone.

We had nine great coaches show up to knock heads together this year and they all have my sincere gratitude for making it great. The most distinct aspect of The Bumbus Bowl 3 would have to be that every single game was finished BEFORE game time was called. I have no idea how...but on to the accolades!


Title Earned : NAF Coach / Team Race
-------------------------------------
Tournament Champion : Half_Baked / Orc
Tournament Runner-Up : JPM / Wood Elf
Best Defense : KapnKrump / Orc
Most Casualties : littledenny / Pro Elf

...and not to be outdone in the 'I Participated!' category. The undeniable Morpheous earned a Stunty Cup with a set of games that were close eough to make his opponents raise an eyebrow or two.

Thanks to everyone!
I look forward to seeing you next year!
