I have a lot of wasted space on this page.

I’m sorry for that.

I’m going to fill it up with a Adobe Flash Game of “The Room” based off the horrible movie called The Room.

Go watch it.

And play it.

Oh hai Denny!

The Stupor Bowl was created to pay homage to one of the greatest NFL Teams of all time, The 1985 Chicago Bears and is run by Mike “Valdric” Muller.

Special rules of this tournament include a Stupor Bowl Shuffle (random special play cards), Windy City Kickoff Table, and of course legendary Star Players of the 2485 Scares Team, Da Freezer, Slim McHamm, Salter Painton, Spike Dingleberry, and Killie Gault.

Stupor Bowl V will be held at Adepticon on Saturday and Sunday, April 21st and 22nd. There will be three games on Saturday and three games on Sunday. There will be individual winners on each day as well as overall winners for all six games. This will allow you to play one day and still have time to enjoy many of the other events at Adepticon!

Each registered participant will receive a limited edition Killie Gault mini, two Adepticon X D6s, a custom dugout, and other freebies in the Adepticon X swag bag.

The tournament build is 1.1 million with a choice of three different skill packs. Tournament will be a resurrection style tournament. So any injuries your team suffers will not carry over to the next game, and any SPPs earned will also be erased. The roster you start the tournament with will be the same for each round you play.

To celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Stupor Bowl and the tenth anniversary of Adepticon, the Scares Star Players are discounting their prices and are guaranteed to play, regardless of whether or not your opponent also brings that star player, so go ahead and put ‘em on your roster!

In addition to two days of Bloodbowl action, there is also Smackswell Street Market. Do have some extra miniatures or other gaming items lying around that you’d like to trade/sell? Bring ‘em to the tournament and put them in the Smackswell Street Market. You never know, your trash might be someone else’s treasure! They don’t have to be Blood Bowl miniatures, feel free to bring any miniatures or other gaming items!

Full rules for Stupor Bowl V can be found here

We’ve got a location!  The Holiday Inn Express in Palatine is the new home for Chaos Cup 2012. I’ve been in talks with fanatical Blood Bowl coaches from all over the world and hearing about their plans to come to Chicago this September is awesome!  The Rulespack will be posted to this website later this month. And in March will be the information on Pre-Registration. We are going to have a few different levels of Pre-Registration that can will allow you better schwag the earlier you sign up, and also will give you the opportunity to purchase such Chaos Cup 2012 merchandise as custom Nurgle fields, t-shirts, and more! Book your room now at the Holiday Inn Express in Palatine, IL. The special Chaos Cup rate is available from 9/12 – 9/18 so if you want to stay longer and do some Chicago sightseeing, you can!     - Jonny P

GenCon is the original, longest running, best attended, gaming convention in the world. For over 44 years, GenCon Indy has been setting the trend and breaking records. Last year, more than 120,103 turnstile and 36,106 unique attendees experienced Gen Con Indy. The biggest complaint we hear is that there is simply too much to do, see, and experience. Get lost in a phantasm of art exhibits. Stare at jaw-dropping costumes, or better yet, wear one of your own. Meet the movers and the shakers in the gaming industry. Check out the newest games and get a sneak peek at the latest editions.

Make sure one of those stops is the annual GenCon Blood Bowl Tournament!

GenCon Bowl will be held on Saturday, August 18th at GenCon in Indianapolis, IN and run by Chaos Cup Committee’s own Mike “Valdric” Muller.  There will be four games of intense blood bowl action.
The rule set will be posted on the NAF site soon, but the basics are:

* 4 games of Swiss pairing
* Rosters must be TV 1100
* Any official teams in the LRB 6.0 are welcome, as well as the three new races (Slann, Chaos Pact, and Underworld Creepers.)

Tournament will be a resurrection style tournament.

Any injuries your team suffers will not carry over to the next game, and any SPPs earned will also be erased.

The roster you start the tournament with will be the same for each round you play.

Each participant will receive custom GenCon Bowl D6s and a custom dugout.

Prize support is generously provided by Impact! Miniatures.

GENERAL

Chaos Cup 2012 will be held in the Chicago suburb of Palatine, IL. Palatine is about 28 miles from downtown Chicago, and only 14 miles from O’Hare Airport. Don’t forget, if you are staying at the venue, Holiday Inn Express Palatine, you get a $28 taxi from airport. You can even stay at the hotel at the special rate from 9/12 – 9/18 so it will give you plenty of time to see what the City of Chicago has to offer.  Use Group Code CCC.

AUTOMOBILE

There is an Enterprise Rent-a-car not too far away from the hotel, which they will also provide a free shuttle service for Guests too. If you decide to rent a car, you will want to take Dundee Rd east to 53 South (aka I-290 East) then connect to I-90 (aka The Kennedy) and take that East directly into Downtown Chicago.  You could also stay on I-290 East (aka The Eisenhower) and take that into Chicago as well.

TRAIN

Taking Dundee Rd West then a left on N Smith Street will take you to the Palatine Metra train station.  It’s called the Union Pacific – Northwest Line (UP-NW).  It will take you to Ogilvie Transportation Center on Madison St in Chicago.  From there you can walk, take a cab, bus, or walk to an EL station – the Chicago subway system.

CHICAGO

Chicago has a ton of interesting attractions to see while you’re in the area. Interested in museums? Want to go to the top of the tallest building in the US? How about a planetarium observatory? Check out the Chicago “City Pass” for huge discounts on multiple attractions in the city of Chicago! Looking for a certain type of food? Chicago, being one of the largest cities in the country, has restaurants that can cater to whatever you’d like!

There is a ton of information on this site too.

Way too much out there for me to list on the Chaos Cup website.

Also, keep in mind, we will be looking to do a group trip to Wrigley Field on the Friday before Chaos Cup.  More information on that as the event gets closer.

Remember:  If you are staying at the Holiday Inn Express, you will get a complimentary shuttle service to and from any of these places!

HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS PALATINE

The Ballroom is HUGE! If you remember the space in the bunker last year, this is even bigger than that!

We’ll get a bunch of 3×6 and 3×8 tables to use… and yes, regular size tables so you can sit comfortablely for all 6 games. Toss in a big screen/projector, mic and PA system and we are all set to run a kick ass Chaos Cup there!

BOOKING ROOMS

Here is the hotel address info:
1550 East Dundee Road
Palatine, IL 60074
(847) 934-4900

You can book via phone or online here:
http://www.hiexpress.com/hotels/us/en/palatine/chipt/hoteldetail

By phone just let them know this is for Chaos Cup, or Group Code: CCC

By internet just use Group Code: CCC

The special rate we are getting is $79 per night. Normally it’s $94. If there are ANY conflicts with this price from the hotel, please let me know directly and if you find it cheaper online as well, let me know and I will try to get them to match it.

Note:  Our group rate should be locked in for 9/12 – 9/18 so if you wish to stay longer (earlier or later) and do some Chicago sightseeing, you can still take advantage of the deal. 

You have the choice of getting a room with 1 King Bed (and pull out couch if requested) or 2 Double Beds

GUEST SERVICES

You get access to this nice lounge area which is open 24/7, which I can only imagine will consist of lots of nighttime gaming. With that said, I don’t think they will want alcohol in that area, but you could always go up to your rooms for that.

BREAKFAST
You get free hot breakfast. Not just a continental roll at other places… eggs and other good selections each morning for breakfast is included

AIRPORT SHUTTLE
For $28, up to 4 people together can get a ride to O’Hare airport thru their partnered taxi service…. or you can get picked up from the airport and brought back to the hotel. It’s a one way charge, but split that amongst 4 people and it’s pretty cheap.  Remember..you want O’Hare Airport. NOT Midway Airport.

AREA SHUTTLE
The hotel gives guests complimentary shuttle to and from about 40 different restaurants and local attractions. I’ll list all the places on the Chaos Cup website soon, but really you’ve got a good 5 mile radius to and from anywhere you want totally free.

PARKING
If you did drive, the parking is free. So no worries there.

WORKOUT/POOL
The hotel is actually connected to a World Gym to those guests who want to work off all the sitting around while they are there.

Also there is a huge pool you can use. Basketball and Volleyball too. All included, just use your room key to get in.
 

INTERNET
Free wired internet inside all rooms. Free Wi-Fi in lounge, lobby, and our ballroom.

HIGHWAYS
It’s located right off of 53/290 and Dundee Rd. People do can 290 East(South) and connect to 90 East into city.

TRAIN
Hotel is a few miles from Palatine Metra, Arlington Park Metra, and Wheeling Metra. Just contact the hotel for a shuttle to and from the train station.

ATTRACTIONS IN AREA
Durty Nellies (bands play there), Arlington Racetrack, Medieval Times, Woodfield, Allstate Arena… and the new Rivers Casino is not too far away. I’ll post full list on the Chaos Cup website.

ALTERNATE ROOMS
If you are trying to be on an extra tight budget, there is a Motel Six right across the street. I do not know the rate, but if it’s not too much less than the $79 at Holiday Inn Express, then I’d consider just staying at our Chaos Cup hotel and enjoying the company of some fellow out of towners!

CUBS GAME
Last year, some of us went to Wrigley Field the Friday before Chaos Cup. It was a blast and we plan on doing it again this year. I’ll put information for that together in a separate post. It’s fun to all sit near each other and drink some shitty beer together!

WEBSITE
If you are having ANY concerns about coming or not, just have a look at the 2011 Photo’s section of the Chaos Cup Website. Last year was the largest Chaos Cup ever and this year will be even bigger! With side games like Skaven-Ger Hunt, Triple Skulls, Guess the Dice, and Blood Bowl Poker, there will always be something going on that weekend.

If you are reading this on a forum, make sure to also subscribe to our Chaos Cup Newsletter and Follow us on Twitter and Like us on Facebook.

Lastly, coming soon we’ll have pre-registration info up…. tons of awesome schwag (different color dice, coin, patch, dugout), custom pitches, Limited Edition Chaos All-Star model Prince Dorian from Impact Miniatures going to everyone, and lots more.

Brought to you by Nurgle King… your decay, right away at Nurgle King now!

Stay tuned Blood Bowl fans….whutupshun indeed!
