Four years does spread it out. I just don't want the ballon to deflate between events.
As far as location and country we know:
It will be in the US or Canada
It will be in a sizeable location.
There will be lots of vouleenteers.
When do and how we decide on who will be the boss and who will be the group? What year do we start playing?
What range are we putting on member cost? (helps figure cost range of locations) |

Well, as for time I would think if we want it to be every other year and not necessarily overlap with the World Cup, have it the year after it (2013), and then alternating years after that (2015, 2017 and so on).
The boss selection will be interesting, but I don't think this person should select the remaining "board members". Or, if he does, he needs one person from each region to make sure there is no bias towards a specific group/region. |

| Also, I think costs and such will be decided depending on who is hosting and what is involved. As mentioned before, tournaments are not run as a profit-making endeavor. But you don't want people losing money every time, or that will also kill any momentum the tournement might have. |

| I think the boss should be either the person with the most posts on NAF, or the one who has played the most tournament games. That way their experience will speak to their infinite wisdom! |

WC are 2011, 2015, 2019...
if you have one every 2 years:
2011 WC
2012 NA
2014 NA
2015 WC
2016 NA
Do you really think coaches can do a major trip to play bloodbowl 3 years in a row ? If you think so, then it's fine, but if not, then every 4 years alternated with the world cup might be more suitable, no ?
EDIT: btw, I'm just trying to help, but if this not helping, just disregard it  |

Not agreeing or disagreeing, but by having a major for three years in a row, not every coach will be able to attend, but at least it gives options for those who cannot make it to one or the other. |

Just my 2 cents, but I think the NA Cup should be ever 4 years, but 2 years apart from World Cup.
2011 WC
2013 NAC
2015 WC
2017 NAC
ect |

just butting my english opinion in... ;]
I agree every four years alternate between the world cup seems to be best
as the only coach (afaik) who has been to all four majors, there doesn't seem to be many coaches from american or canada going to tournaments in each others countries
if you have a world cup and 2 north american cups in the space of every 3 years I think you are going to limit attendance
I've been to the chaos cup twice and the spike when it was in toronto, there are also now it seems more tournaments for north americans to attend than before
the choice has been growing well and I'm pleased to see that though (I may be wrong) it appears to me there aren't that many coaches travelling a great deal to tournaments
obviously the distances are greater than we have in europe, though there is nearly a tournament every weekend in the UK now and unfortunately due to that and the fact the £ is worth a lot less now there seems to be a lot less travel around european countries than there was initiall with fewer tournaments to go to
I think the expression of don't run before you can walk could well apply here, I understand the enthusiasm though it isn't like there is a shortage of tournaments in your calender already that you could encourage people to go to
the two that see the most foreign coaches over here now are both the Blood Bowl and the Dungeonbowl (more UK coaches travel for that than any other in europe now)
feel free to ignore me but maybe some outside perspective could help, it is easier to do more if the demand is there than to fizzle out cause you spread yourselves too thin to begin with |

Another thought.... Just plan the first one, see how it goes, then afterwards make the call on another one in 2, 4, or never.
Even poll the coaches who attend and see what they think after the event concludes. |

| Seems pretty basic to me. Rather than setup a 10 year plan, just see how this first one goes. |

1) Well do we start a poll or something about where it will be
2) How do we start a committee and a legion of volunteers. |

I tend to lean toward the every 4 years between World Cups schedule, kinda like the European Championship is held between the soccer world cups. I also agree with Johnny P that we should plan for 2013 and then make a decision based on how that goes. In either case I am also volunteering to help however needed. (And as we are in the same league, I foresee much of my role as reigning in daloonieshaman's crazy ideas!!)  |
