Wind, rain and about %1 chance of snow. The temperature will be close to 0 degrees but likely a little warmer.
Don't let that fool you, though. With all the canals and water around Amsterdam can have a very damp cold, which means that it will get to you no matter how well you are protected. I mean, I have seen people from northern Sweden who normally can handle minus 20, feel very, very cold in our winter.

One italian Coach will play Elves at Dutch Open, but he hasn't the minia.
Can he use the High Elf minia instead of the Elves minia?

Thx

High elf models to represent the Pro Elves shouldnt be a problem, i would b esurprised if anyone complained

No problem at all. As long as he makes it clear to his opponent (like using an extra bold type on the roster and pointing it out before you start the game). And as long as it's clear which model is which player.

Also, I assume the bar we are playing in is ok for Steeler-Bowl as well? Or will we be watching at a seperate bar?

Well, my prediction came true then. So, how is progress going for somewhere to see it, as it is now even more vital that I watch, and wave away my terrible towel?

Don't want to know anything about eating contests, but we're almost at 100 registrered coaches. I know we can break 100. Especially when some people (read Evil Got) who say they registered actually do! (I cannot find you on the list mate, unless you registered under a pseudonym)

Of course, registration is still open for anybody else who feels the urge to test their skills against the European Blood Bowl scene, or who just wants another good excuse to meet everyone and drink some.
