Bubble tourney in South Jersey Nov 17, 2007???

[JG]

Any interest out there for a bubble tourney run in NJ? I'm thinking of Nov 17, 2007. My league (SJBHL) has a league date scheduled that day, but I may morph it into a tournament if there is enough interest. Anyone interested???

Lookin' bad, fellas. Only the Davis boys showed any interest in a tournament, and my first league Saturday was a bummer - only 4 players! In retrospect, maybe the KONE should have gone ahead with only 15 guys, especially if they were all beginners - gotta get new guys excited or all this will die out. I know Jeremy and Al and some others are better than me (unless my liver works serious O/T!), and it is no fun losing in the end, but the fun is supposed to be in playing. If no new talent comes along, this little world of bubble hockey we've created will be over after the 2008 nationals (if the Blues will even run it again after less than 30 people showed up last year). My league (SJBHL) has a lot of new interest this year, and I'm sure the relaxed atmosphere and huge amounts of beer help alot. We've gotta find a way to get new blood and encourage new players if we want this to last. Any suggestions? How about smaller local tourneys more often, with A, B, and C flights? Stiga does it, and it seems to do well, as guys of similar competiton levels play each other in the end. Any other ideas??? Bubble on

Since there was pretty much no interest, I have cancelled plans for a tournament November 17. I will still hold a league day for the South Jersey Bubble Hockey League (SJBHL) that day, and as always all are wlecome. If anyone is interested, reply back here. CHEERS!
