Snow Brawl 2 Bawling in a winter wonderland

Today was Bloodbowl Tournament day and time for the second snow brawl. The first one was in Kentucky last year and two friends from Colorado flew in to play. While in town they crashed at my house and we went on the Amazing Union Terminal floor tour. It was guided by a docent named Patty Parrot, who was extremely knowledgeable and chatty, turning our forty five minute tour into two hours.

PATTY CRUSHING IT.

This is an important note because to celebrate that amazing tour and combine it with my love of blood bowl, I made an Elven Union team for this years Snow Brawl 2 – Elven Union Terminals. With players named after the artists, architects and political Figures who helped create Union Terminal. I also named a player after Patty Parrot whos dedication and passion in sharing its history keeps Union Terminal relevant today.

And now back to today, today was a bloodbowl tournament day and time for the second Snow Brawl. Snow brawl 2 was supposed to be held at a convention this year but due to other games not being as great as bloodbowl, Snow Brawl 2 took place at the game preserve. I was fortunate enough to ride to with 2 friends, Zadrian and Schlegeldash (the bloodbowl community uses nicknames.)

Round 1 Vs Lucas playing his very first bloodbowl tournament and his (dads) Lizardmen – Swamp Skinks (THE OP Ones)

It was a great game and hopefully a good introduction to the hobby for one of my favorite blood bowlers kid.

Round 2 vs XTREME and his Wood Elf’s Sherwood Ghosts

30 snow balls thrown this game, in the rain. Always a pleasure to be paired against another of my favorite blood bowlers.

Round 3 Vs HouseBlackfyres Orcs The Brave Companions + Jingle

Maybe I’m biased or maybe the Midwest has some of the best guys but final round I got paired against another of my favorites!

A little skill, more luck and a lot more snowballs and I ended up winning the whole thing 3-0-0 for the day. I was going in expecting to get destroyed after testing this roster out against a new friend and getting wrecked. So winning it was a really pleasant surprise!

Thanks Zander0 for running a fun event!!!

But all my opponents also won something besides just the joy of playing me.

Houseblackfyre – Most Casualties
Xtreme with the most successfully thrown snowballs -59!!!
Lucas got THE SPOON!!!
Special mention to Paperbag4 on runner up!

Unfortunately there wasn’t a contest for

best Painted Jingle Tumblefoot. If there was, I think we all knew I had it in the bag!

I also don’t have a picture of this when it was finished.

See you next time at snowbrawl 3!

      I’m still smiling remember how hard I was laughing at how many times we traded possession of the ball because the snowballs were dropping our ball carrier.
