Spike! Magazine Tournament 2011

Random thoughts: Well this was a hell of a weekend. Dave O’Neill managed to go undefeated with his Dwarves, and he still found time to sneak in a Backyardigans concert. Way to go, DAD! Tyler Reeves somehow cracked the code for causing Casualties, once again proving that you can beat the hell out of your opponent and still lose games. Michael Green took home the Stunty Leeg trophy by winning 2 games with Halflings. You know he’s doing something right when flings are tied for TDs with a Lizardman team and a Human – and ahead of 7 other teams! Jason Weaver cinched the Sportsman award when, on realizing that he’d made a mistake on his roster (which we’d failed to catch), he accepted 3 losses without batting an eye – and was the one to point it out to his opponents, no less. Although Dan Armstrong was a contender for the same trophy: on earning “The Wall” for Best Defence, he tried to give it away to Chris Finger, since his one default win in Round 3 felt unfair to him. Way to go guys; Blood Bowl is a real gentleman’s sport. Well, that is, a gentleman’s sport with casualty and death.
Special thanks once more to the sponsors who made our door prize table such a hit. In addition to the coaches who donated items from their own supplies, we received great items from Craving For a Game, Imperial Hobbies, and AEG Games. AEG (Alderac Entertainment Group) broke the bank, sending a case with 13 items. Big hits there included Legend of the Five Rings cards, Thunderstone, Nightfall, Abandon Ship, Straw, Myth Pantheons, Rush and Crush and of course everyone’s favourite, Monkey Lab. Check them out when you have the chance:

We’d also like to thank all of the out-of-towners, including the boys from Alberta (Dave, it wouldn’t be a Spike! without you!), Mike and Rachel from Eastern Washington, the growing Ordo contingent, and a virtual mob of players from the Rat City club in Seattle. Special special thanks go to Andy from Rat City for helping out again with extra boards and also for helping us out with a last-minute trophy SNAFU.
One of our own, Steve Lemky, pulled a coup by designing and arranging the casting of the special give-away model we gave to each of our coaches. A unique Vampire model, it’s well-suited to a Star Player position or as a stand-out model for your Vampire team. We purchased more than we gave away, and we will be selling the limited remainder for $5 each plus shipping. Details to be found here on the “Merchandise” tab. Thanks Steve for raising the bar once again. Thanks too to Kavin Kishor and to Erik Arntsen for all their help with the data entry and sorting; this one was a bitch.
Can’t think of anything else to say right now. As always it was a blast; it was exhausting; and it was great seeing so many coaches out to a summer tournament. Hope to see you and more next year! – Craig
