I thought the Dakka crowd might want to know of some potential head-knockin in Northern VA this summer.

Darkness Fouls... @ The NoVA Open
Friday, September 2nd & Saturday, September 3rd
Check-in: 8:30pm(both nights)
Game 1(&3) : 8:45pm-11:00pm
Game 2(&4) : 11:15pm-1:30am

Something happens to coaches when the sun goes down. It's not pretty. It may not be legal.
This tournament begins at night for anyone whom just couldn't make it to the Day-Long Tournament. The games are also split between two nights so that each coach can claim some measure of beauty rest between bouts of dice rolling and convention frolicking.
If you spent the day fighting for(or against) The Emperor then we're here for you. The other four games not bring you your fill of crushing skulls and scoring Touchdowns? Step on up and see if you can dominate both Tournaments at the NoVA Open.


These events will be using the same rules and stipulations:
ALL 21 GW Teams plus the 3 Additional Teams are valid and welcome!(Slann, Chaos Pact, Underworld)

Teams can be built using up to 1,100,000gp.
Coaches may choose ONE of the bonus skill-packs to assign extra perks and skills to their team after the roster is created.

Event Price: $20
Keeping a great idea going from last year: NoVA Open Event pricing includes a -$5 discount to every one of your registered events beyond the first.
Sign up for both Tournaments(you know you want to...) and you'll save 25%!
NoVA Open Single Day pass: $20 / NoVA Open All Access pass: $40

...or just message me here... i'm not picky

The Squig-Balls are freshly packed and en-route. They are as fresh and frenzied as ever.
The fields are lined. The Referee's are bribed. There's not a cloud in the sky.
The House teams are eager and limber. The dice are hot and the rowdiness levels are climbing.

Last year we had more TIES than in the previous two combined. We also had an awesome and diverse number of coaches.
The Bombs were flying all over the place, a Skaven team disappeared completely and even a an infuriating dwarf-filled Mud-Bowl.
I can't wait to see what sort of craziness comes about this year.

Fill the bleachers, fire up the Cabalvision and prep the medics because it's BloodBowl time!

It was another great time and somehow it just gets better and better.

It was a year full of firsts: We had a record 18 coaches in Darkness Fouls and 14 in Slaughterday of all skill levels.
There was a good mix of races: Amazon, Nurgling, goblins, halflings, three different kinds
of elves teams but the green tide came clawing onto the field with Six Orc teams cracking
heads and collecting teeth. The two-time Tourny Champion was toppled by one of them in a
powerful showing from a veteran coach.

The brave souls that filled the lists in Darkness Fouls all but one stuck to the tables
through SlaughterDay! No single race dominated the lists but one coach
stood above all with a perfect 4-0 record to take the title of Champ two years in a row.

I can't thank everyone enough for playing, laughing, crying and making the weekend a blast
worth repeating.
