Watching the Big Tournamentsâ€™ finals

I would love to watch some of the Big Tournamentsâ€™ finals.
So, - I donâ€™t know if it has been done before â€“ I think it will be cool if we could have some PBEM files of the finals of the big tournaments.
Someone watching the game could use a laptop to write it in the PBEM tool.

Do you think it could be possible to do such a thing?
Would someone else be interested by that?
And, most important: do you think that this kind of match is really more interesting to watch than any ordinary BB match?

It would be very interesting to play a final back on the PBeM tool, but I think it would be impossible without interfering with the playing of the game. At the Bloodbowl 04 the final was on the big screen in Bugmans Bar, although everything was so small you couldn't see much going on

The idea is very nice, but only if it is not interrupting the actual play. Which I do not think is really feasable...

Also, it starts sounding a little to professional for my tastes. It is only a game after all...

What if someone just setup a video camera and then later on that night put it all in the PBEM tool? Sounds pretty easy to pull off, I may even try it out for the Zlurpee Bowl.

That is the whole idea about. It started when everyone wears a mesh of their team. A Hat which suits his team colors or show his NAF standings. And now even better to see on the NAF site when, whom and how you played against someone. It is like real soccer/football/baseball only with yourself on the trading card.

So yes I want my DVD "Missfits of Blood Bowl 2004" and the other one "Most horrible Go For its 2004 and 2005"

Filming the movements of the players wouldn't be that big a problem. A couple of webcams set around the pitch should be able to deal with that. Webcams have gotten small enough to be reasonable for this sort of thing. Recording die rolls might be a bit more difficult. Not sure how the people in the final would like being recorded though.

It would be great! And in this way, there is enough time to add silly comments in the log.

(like in the chess game reports).

What we need are just two smartasses like Jim and Bob. They can talk themselves around everything.

And the comments have the tendency to walk off to some general issues. Like Tech Forums where Windows and Linux geeks only wait for an answer of the other group.

Hehe, I can just see it coaches trying to think while constantly Jim and Bob are constantly commenting on their every move

Jim: He's scratching his head.
Bob: Now he's frowning.
Jim: He's shouting SHUT UP! now.
Bob: His face is getting red
etc...
