Putting this out there now, if there's a group/groups putting together a bid for running one of these.
I'm In.
I know Zip all about running one, or organizing something like this. But if you need a worker bee and can give good directions on WHAT you need done. I'm In.
Tournament Side, I'd >love< to play, but I know how hard up a convention can be for staff and volunteers.
What I HAVE done, is help with my local sci-fi convention (MarsCon, in Willliamsburg VA) as labor and volunteering. I have helped with doing setup and take-down. Some Con-Suite help (tho I don't know how "normal" a Con Suite would be for something like this), as well as helping with Registration & Check-in. |

I don't expect any bids until the due date. The potential organizers I've spoken with (half a dozen or so) are generally on the East Coast or in the Midwest. I don't want to get too specific just in case they eventually decide against bidding.
I would like to have the winning bid selected by the end of June. |

Due to (possibly unwarranted) concerns that we won't receive enough bids to create a competitive selection process, we are extending the bid deadline by one week.
Bids are now due on June 17th. |

It's projected for late May or early June of next year. Exact date will depend on availability of the selected venue. |

The site for the Amorical Cup 2017 will be Richmond, Virginia. Date and details to follow ASAP.
The selection process was very tightly contested, requiring a tie-breaking vote in the end. This is reflective of the quality of the bids; I can honestly say that I would have been glad to attend any of the prospective tournaments that they described.
The final ranking was:
1. Richmond, VA
2. Toronto, ON
3. Schenectady, NY
4. Dallas, TX
