Event Name Brainstorm

[draggin lady]

If Portland were to host a tournament next year, what would YOU call it?

We would want a name to capture the hard-hitting awesomeness that is our sport, while maintaining a bit of local Portland flavor to it.

If your name is used, you will win a pair of 3-day passes to this potentially amazing event. Get all of your ideas in by Nov. 3rd. That's when the deciding will start to begin.

So let's hear it!

I suppose "The New Nationals" has already played itself out...or is about to.

[JeLLyPiG]

On a serious note: Do we post them here or email them? Or maybe a F Book game which can also get some points for "Likes"?

[draggin lady]

Post them here. Only entries here will be considered for the prize.

If you email me anything, I will delete it. I get enough spam as it is

Beat me to it! :)

Okay, so killing time and drinking free beer @ the Managers Reception here at the lovely Embassy Suites in Chicago, I came up with these horrible ideas.

Rose City Rumble (RCR tie in)
Stumptown Smackdown (SS like Swag Superfan)
Rolling on a Real River of Historical Importance (To soon?)
The Best Coast Brawl (To arrogant?)
The Bruises to Prove It (Might have get clearance from the Supersuckers...shouldn't be a problem and it comes with a built in theme song)
Rain of Pain (needed a Rain idea)
Teamwork does not make your @$$ look bigger (oops wrong brainstorm list)
The Pack Monster Mash (I just love the Pack Monsters)

Obviously, I need more to drink. Maybe I'll scan and post my bar napkin of bad ideas later.

...out.

Rumble for the Roses!
Stumptown Stompdown!

[Dr. Snark N. Stein]

Rain of Pain (needed a Rain idea)

"Rain of Terror"?

We could have a whole guillotine motif!

Before each bout, we could parade some privileged WFTDA aristocrats around the track in a cart and then ... oh nevermind.

[Dr. Snark N. Stein]

"The tournament that decides which three of our teams get to beat the rest to paste"?

Might not fit on a t-shirt though. :/

I'm too logey from work to try to rhyme or be creative with any of that.

Good luck.

[sward003]

Here's my 2 cents:

Rose City Battle Royal

I know it doesn't rhyme, but battle royals are always pretty kick ass

[Mike Chexx]

What about War for the Roses?

Anyone?

Never mind.
