Tournament Series Discussion - How does one organize a series? Innerdemon - Dec 16, 2016 - 03:48 PM Post subject: How does one organize a series?
Hi Everyone,
Grither (Bryan) was kind enough to spear head the West Coast Grand Prix. We added in a number of tournaments in our area. Bryan asked me to help out trying to coordinste the events up here. This has spread out the tournament series to 9 events, spanning the entire west coast of the uS and western Canada. 5 of those events are concentrated in my area (westernCanada)
Bryan and I have discussed spilting the series to not cover so much geographical territory. I know travel is the main intent here, but this is a bit extreme distance to expect people to travel.
I have a few questions
How does one apply to organize a tournament series?
How many tournaments are required to host a series?Tojurub - Dec 18, 2016 - 07:10 AM Post subject: RE: How does one organize a series?
there is a nice document here:
a) Post the rules of the series according to the document in the Tournament series section (North America section for you). I'll check them and if they are ok, I'll approve the series by making it "sticky".
b) four tourneys is the lower limit for a NAF sanctioned series.Gaixo - Dec 22, 2016 - 07:59 AM Post subject: RE: How does one organize a series?
It seems that if you have 9 events, with Spike as a sort of central point between those in Canada and the USA, neither side is really disadvantaged. I would try to stick together rather than dropping down to become two very small series. Your prerogative, though!Grither - Dec 23, 2016 - 07:08 PM Post subject:
We thought that by combining all of Western North America we might be able to cross-pollinate a bit and have some incentive to travel to other tourneys within the region. As it turns out from the past couple of years, there has been very little inter-mingling with the exception of a few that attend the Spike! For the most part, Canadians will not likely travel to Vegas and other South-Western US areas and SW residents won't likely make it to Canada anytime soon. In 2017, SW US and NW US/Canada will be doing more tourneys so that's why we thought now would be the right time to split. As it stands today, whichever region hosts the most tourneys will win the Tournament Series, which I don't think was ever the point.Innerdemon - May 31, 2019 - 07:11 PM Post subject:
I have messaged ciao about starting a new tournament series. If ciao reads this please message me.
