I think we should have two separate parts of the organisation for this event.
The NAF NTOs and RTOs can be/help organise the administrative side of the venue/host decision.
But the majority of the work will fall on the local host organisation team.
We only need to decide on the first event. We can work out a process for later.
I think we should definitely have less than 1 event per year and every 2 or 4 years sounds good. My only restriction would be that it should not be in the same year as a WC but all other years should be fair game as options.
There may be someone currently in position to host in 2012. If that is possible then I think it might be nice to do that and then discuss the rotation later.
Cheers

p.s. sorry for going dark, I was travelling for work. |

| 2012 is a stretch, but If need be I could sacrifice the Quake in Vegas to host the NATC (we are working with venues to work out the date could be as late as memorial day time frame) |

Lets see. There is someone who had already considered running this style of tournament before this discussion began here. It may be that they don't see it as a stretch for them next year.
That way we get an event soon and everyone else gets more time to prepare their bids.
Looks like a "Win Win" to me 
At least possibly............ |

I think this idea has quite some merit, but given the scale of the continent you need to try to find venues which are not only feasible for coaches from the East and West coast to get to, but also feasible for Europeans to fly directly to. I'm thinking Toronto/Chicago or Indi probably make the most sense - I think all those cities also boast strong local BB communities who would turn out in numbers.
Obviously it would better suit me for it to be in New York, but that would not really work for the West coasters, nor is it viable from a cost perspective - all venues and lodging would be prohibitive.
I think a truly BIG NA tournament every two years should be able to get 100+ coaches provided the organisation is good and enough thought goes into the event, logistics, nature of competition etc.. |

yeah, but you want people to actually stick around for BB and not get "distracted", right?  |

Trust me, it doesn't take that long to lose all your money in Vegas. In case anyone needs instruction, I'll be at the craps table at the Mirage showing you guys how it's done the night before the Quake starts. Failing that, we'll do an outing to Crazy Girls 2 after Quake Day 1 and get lap dances. You'll have no choice but to pay attention to Blood Bowl after that. |

You might want to TELL the OTHER people who are working on the WC Quake what you're doing, Mr. Daloonieshaman. |

To answer a number of the posts above:
I think any hub venue for the NA continent would also have direct flights to hubs in Europe and the extra hour or three would not make a big difference once you are going transatlantic anyway.
THis is assuming that you can get a direct flight that is. Connecting flights are painful after transatlantic flights 
7 vs 9 hours on one plane is effectively the same.
I think we have a lot of good options in NA. |

Out of curiosity, what has been the biggest NA tournament so far?
Either Gencon or Zlurpeebowl |
