Who would come to the Quad Cities?
My friend and I were discussing all the tournaments that we had missed and he mentioned that we should organize a tourney here. Well I said, why not? He's out of college and makes the big bucks. I'm in college and have nothing but time.
But before we do anything and/or get in over our heads I'd like to know just how many people from this board would actually come to this god forsaken hell hole I call home. For any who don't know, I live in the Quad Cities, USA. It's roughly 200 miles west of Chicago; right on the Mississippi river's bend. (Look at a map and find the only city in Iowa that has the river directly South of it and that's home.)
So how many would come?

It's only a 5 or 6 hour drive for me, so given a good day and enough warning and so on, I could make it.

Wow! Everyone is 5-6 hours away! Cool!
So we have 3 or 4 ppl?
Like I said we were just kicking the idea around. If it was possible I'd try to get it NAF sanctioned. Who knows how to do that right anyway?
Basically my friend and I were just lamenting how we always have something going on during the events.
That fool went and got married on August 8th! No GenCon for him...ever!

You're in KC right? That's not THAT far to Indy...maybe 10 hour drive tops! I went to a Chiefs game at Arrowhead a few years ago, it wasn't that bad.

I went to GenCon one year when it was in Milwaukee, and that year at least they had a BB tourney. I can't speak for the others.Thadrin wrote:I'd seriously consider coming over for GenCon one year.
Its one of those things I've heard about, all hushed tones and stuff.
Do they have BB at GenCon yet?
I played and won all my games except for one draw where I allowed the kid to cheat because I was sick of arguing with him. He was convinced that he could take partial actions with all his players split up however he wanted (aka stand of the catcher and dodge, then move his thrower and throw to the catcher, then move the catcher again and score)
So anyway he and I had a draw and so I didn't make the final. Stupid punk kid.
