Scandinavians at Eurobowl 2012?

[necromancer]

@Eurobowl in Legoland.
Could be cool, let's play BB with lego miniatures!

@Tourach
Would hate to lose you on the Danish team. But go Swedish Captain! I have tried to get in touch with the Malmö BB League, no success so far.

@Eurobowl in IKEA
Let's do that when Sweden wins, Denmark don't want to use the Swedish Ambassy

I really hope to see Norway, Finland too. I can only recommend Eurobowl, even if you only make it to the 2nd place

[Topper]

Yeh we hope to get them interested by doing some lobbying.
We have a few contacts - as you can see we hope to use.

BUMP, aren't there any swedes on this forum that would like to be in a swedish team for eurobowl 2012?

Super! Do you know any other competent coaches from the homeland?

I live in Copenhagen but am a Swedish citizen. Me and 2 other guys from plasmoids league are trying to gather a Swedish team. ATM moment I am a part of the Danish troupe so depending on the number of "real" swedes that would like to participate i could be on the Swedish team. The Danish team has like 20 interested coaches so I guess it would be fair that I gave up my spot.
Also I don't really know much about the Swedish organization. Who is the a NAF representant in Sweden? Who has the right to be the head coach of a countries team and so on...
Anyway ill look into this, I am a part of the people that organize things for eurobowl in Copenhagen.

[Thadrin]

I'm the Swedish NAF bloke.
Already accounted for as far as Eurobowl goes I'm afraid.

The guy I'd think of as first choice as captain would be Odium Khan, seeing as he's the only one who's had the spuds to try and run a tourney over here outside one of the cons (I tried that once and it was a disaster). Also, he's known to many of the British tourney regulars so he has some contacts around.
Umeå might be a bit far to travel though.

The obvious means of putting together a team who might travel is to go to GothCon and ask at the annual BB tourney there. I've not been for several years though.

I can make the few I know here who like blood bowl aware of the issue.

About who should be team captain...
I´d say the one who does the work of getting a group together.
He should also have good skills as a player and equally as a "leader".
That way the person will be respected for his perfomance "on pitch", his ability to do the right thing when difficult decisions are to be made and simply for putting everything together.
My 2 cent´s there
I´ll spread the word on FUMBBL for you - sent a PM to 10 relatively active Swedish coaches.. (No more than 3 weeks since last check in, I think)
Cross my fingers we have a Swedish team at 2012

Hey Finnish guys, want to get together sometimes? Me and couple of my mates have been playing BB for a while now, although our little scene is very laid back, meaning we don't play very often. But it would be fun to meet other players. We all live in Helsinki. And oh yes, we are born in the 1970's, so I hope there are not too deep generation gap between us.

[Topper]

Hehe actually most BB players are around the age of 30...
So not too much of an issue I assume

As if you would know anything about that?

[Topper]

Well I assume I know no more than the next guy, in the sense that there´s no "guidebook" to the team captain question - but true I have been captain for the Danish side for seven years I believe now. And we doesn´t do it the dictator way.

[Tripleskull]

oh kaptain my kaptain

[Topper]

Hehe guess padding one self on the back is always good... Cough cough

[Tourach]

I think toipper does good work, nice to see that this thread is not completely dead! Have you heard anything on fumbbl topper ??
