Bubblers,

I am trying to get an estimate of who all is coming to the tournament. On our side, things are looking good and we are expecting great things this year. However, I have not received many registration forms and was just curious if there is anything I can do to help you guys out. Please let me know, and I hope to be talking with all of you soon.

My friend and I plan on playing. We are new to BB Hockey tournaments. Do you have a list of rules that we can look at?

Guys,

I have just finished talking things over with Dave and Busters. Not only will they be providing the venue for our tournament, but for all players and staff they are providing a free appetizer buffet both days. Friends and family are welcome and encouraged to come, but will be on their own for food. Beverages will also be on your own for everyone, sorry we couldn't get that for free. Hopefully this will encourage some more participants, I hope to be hearing from all of you soon.

Good work, Alex.

Now we have the promise of free food, lets start getting those registration forms into Alex for the tournament. The deadline is March 2, 2007 so get your forms in now!!! Remember that you can e-mail, fax, or mail the forms into him to get a slot in the 2007 St. Louis Bubble Hockey Nationals.

I would also like to remind you all that this event is an NABHA National tournament and therefore will be a ranking tournament. I hope to have the ranking system out in a few days so you can all give your input. It is based on the number of wins and how deep each person goes into the elimination round. The bottom line is that the guy who wins the most games when they count will be ranked number one...and you cant get ranked unless you get to St. Louis...

Keep practicing and remember to e-mail Alex at [e-mail] if you have any specific tournament questions.

Hi All
As promised the NABHA Ranking system is now posted on the NABHA website's downloads section or you can access it by clicking here
If you are planning on attending any of the big tournaments this year, please take a look at it and give me your comments and suggestions. These comments and suggestions will be integrated into the document and the official ranking system will be published on March 2 to coincide with the final day to register for the 2007 St. Louis Bubble Hockey Nationals. I look forward to your feedback and seeing you all in St. Louis.

BTW, those paint jobs I keep seeing on here are awesome. You guys and girls have much more patience than I. My game is almost four years old and is still Red vs Blue.

Thanks
Ruf-dawg

CHEERS all:

I just completed my registration form today, so I'm officially in for St. Louis! Goes out in the mail Monday. My usual doubles partner ("Tardy") is iffy right now if he can make it to St. Louis, so I may need a partner in doubles. Any singles that need to partner up? I can supply beer (if needed - I sure need it!), and I bring better than average skills on the bubble, sometimes much better than average (again, depends on the beer consumption!). Of course, if Tardy can make it we're a team, but if not I'm looking for a partner. If anyone wants to partner up, let me know. See you all in St. Louis!

Great to have a player like you coming to STL. Yet another factor in showing this is becoming quite the event.

[craigcole5]

We here at the St. Louis Bubble Hockey League would like to open the door to those of you coming in the Thursday night before the tournament and join us at The Mack for a little pre preparation for the Nationals. It looks like we will be going to Dave & Buster's early Friday morning to prep the machines, so league night is on. We can work out some details on transportation to those of you that do not have a car. Contact me if interested. I know JG is already in.

Question for all the bubblers out there. We are making the trophies for this year and would like to make them similar to last year. The problems is we can not find the proper equipment. The trophies are not the problem, we need 6 goalies that will be attached to the top of the trophies. So if any one knows how to get 6 goalies or is willing to donate one or two, please let me know. Thanks for the help.

Alex,
I will bring one or two to the cool bars on Sunday. I expect an easy draw in the tournament in exchange though.

I am all in for stopping by the Mack Thursday March 8th - thanks to you guys in the St. Louis league for inviting everyone. Looking forward to it. My flight is scheduled to arrive at 5:55pm, so I might be a little later than 7:00pm (gotta check in at the Holiday Inn), but I'll be there. Thanks again. And a big THANKS to Craig for offering to coordinate transportation!!! ;D ;D ;D
