So seeings as there is currently only one tournament in Victoria (that i know of) isort of want to take it upon myself to a) get a whole heap of people playing Blood Bowl at my local club and b) run a tournament when they all inevitably fall in love with Blood Bowl. Only problem is, Ive never run a Blood Bowl, or any other type of tournament before! So i was hoping that, as per usual, the people on here could help me out! Even if you dont know the fine details of running a tournament just saying what you like about particular tournaments would be very helpful! Look forward to hearing from all of you! :)

Decent place to play BB in, so getting a good cup of coffee or a beer, being able to get lunch somewhere, having a stable table, one that is large enough, ...

If you have a small amount of players then make sure your room isnt too big. It's nice to see some action on other boards now and then.

A decent time schedule is handy too, and sticking to it.

I dont mind an entry fee, but I also dont mind a small giveaway. even a throw in template with the tournament's name on it is good. Or a dugout,...
Some prices are good too. They dont have ALL to be BB related.

I find it hard to find a cheap place to play in over here. I have to ask either a relative large entry fee, or have to get a lot of players playing.
And that's just to cover the 'rent' of the place. never mind the prices of the prices...
But I will probably organize something next year, this one was too busy (studies and family and work and...).

Good luck ! Hope it helps.

There is more than one tourney in Melbourne, in fact I'm sure there are at least two :wink: Conquest and Blocktober.

I'd recommend getting in touch with JoeKano who seems to be the most active and organises one if not both of them.
