The Dutch Mega Gaming Day will be held at November 16. in Tilburg. Some Belgian playing group announced they will organise a Blood Bowl tournament. So far I haven't heard anything about it.

On the site of the Dutch Outriders (organisers of the Gaming Day; http://www.games-workshop-hobby-nl.org/ ) there's nothing to be found but the date and the city. More info should appear in due time.

40 euro.... thats pretty much I think...

but its still not very clear what you can do there then...(on BB) only the tourny for 40 euro is to much I think..

I think the 40 Euro is for the Grand Tournament..

I just heard it is NOT gonna be NAF - sanctioned ... talking about Crap. That's just plain silly.

I am trying to get in touch with the guys (belgian) that are organizing the BB stuff.

I've been to a previous version of the Mega Gaming Day and it costed fl. 2,50 to get in. The gym they hired was filled up mostly with the WFB and 40K tournament. If they don't have a BB-tournament I will not take the trip. If they do, I'll have to see if I can get another day off from the missus.

Dave, will it help if we start mailing them about NAF-sanctioned?? If so, please post the address (or PM it to me).

just got this reply mail. I know it's in Dutch but I'll give a short translation.

Ik ken inderdaad de naf en heb besloten om alzeker dit jaar het toernooi niet naf sanctioned te maken om enkele redenen.
Ten eerste ben ik ( en niemand die ik ken), al aangesloten bij de naf en heb ik een ietwat afwachtende houding hierover tot ik hierover meer weet.
ten tweede is het een klein BB toernooi ( 20 deelnemers maximum) waarmee we eerst even willen kijken hoe het gaat en welke respons we krijgen.
We willen dit dan ook totaal onafhankelijk doen. Ik moet toegeven dat ik niet weet of de naf restricties ergens oplegd en/of lidmaatschap hiervan gratis is. Ik sluit echter niet uit dat in de toekomst er wel over gedacht kan worden om met de Naf samen te werken.
In de hoop dat je een beetje begrijpt waarom we deze beslissing genomen hebben,
vriendelijke groeten,
Dirk Bruylants

He writes he knows the NAF but as he doesn't know things like what they will demand, if it costs money they decided not to make it NAF sanctioned. They might consider it for a next time.

I'll ask the guy if it's okay for me to give his adress to some NAF bozo's. They might talk him around.

Tell the guy to at least get in touch with Lucy (NAF coordiantor for the Netherlands). The requirements are not THAT drastic, and it doesn't cost anything to be NAF accredited, beyond a bit of effort to keep track of the scores (which they should be doing anyway).

just did that

I think Lucy is off for a vacation so I told him to harras DW as well
