Oh I don't know, I always heard that the top US talent was good at some things, like dying, rolling-over and making sheep nervous... :smoking:

Suggestion for us Canucks...let's try to figure out which hotel is best so we can all get co-ordinated. Makes for even more insanity at night when playing Bowl at the Pub.

Even the Goblin coach gets a +1 to injury rolls! Ow!

I just recieved word from Anthony that he would be staying at the Red Roof Inn (University South). Tom, if you havn't made our reservations yet perhaps we could stay at the same place.

Rooms can be reserved online at http://www.redroof.com. I wonder if we should get a discount for giving them advertising :wink:

Moose Shaggers :wink: Well I've never heard that one before.

I don't know about a steam whistle but we'll be sure to bring along the poutine.

Oh, and I'll be leaving my moose at home :roll:

Out of interest, how far is this place from New York - Time and Money wise. Might find myself across the pond that week.

Unfortunately we have a fairly big country over here.

New York to Ann Arbor is about 620 miles.

HOWEVER, 525 of them are on I-80 which means you can average 80 mile/hour easy ... so probably about a 9 hour drive from New York (assuming you got out of New York without major traffic).

The Red Roof Inn that several are of us are staying at is 54 USD a night.

How else am I going to avoid drawing Longfang first round? :lol:

I'd actually look at flying. Working for a big evil dotcom I get free flights every year. Need to use up the rest of the year's flight credits. Michigan <-->NYC doesn't look too bad, to an Australian anyway.

Hrm, let me think about this one.

Hey Neo ... quick question.

I was going to bring Chaos for this tournament while I paint up some Flings for future tounaments. I'll take what I have painted so its Skaven, Chaos, Dark Elf, or Undead (I could do Vampire, Khemri, or Necromantic also but these aren't available options ... :D )

Anyway, the question, my Chaos team has three converted beastmen, one with Claw, one with Big Hand, one with RSF. Is it okay to field these players are normal beastmen as long as I let my opponent know up front. Claw and Big Hand would my 1st chosen mutations anyway. But if I cannot use these 3 as normal, I need to rethink my roster.

This is my first "official" tournament so I wanted to make sure before I assume anything.
