| Funny, perhaps, though not decidedly relevant.
I think that perhaps some sort of strong "blessing" effect on local tournaments should take place. For example, perhaps tournaments which reached A4 level and do not have any upheld complaints registered against them in the previous year should be posted on the National website? | |

What about Pittsburgh? | |

| This thread is three freaking years old. Most everything in it is out of date. Why did anyone revive this? | |

Boy, does this thread take me back.
I remember when I started this bad boy.
The year was 2002: A crazy man was in the White House, the US was at war in the Middle East, and everybody loved the flick.
The more things change... the more they still suck and maybe get worse? | |

For fun? Or maybe they did a search to see if something had been posted on something they were interested in, and read a thread and got involved and replied like with any other? Or maybe they're evil? Who knows.
What I want to know is, where have all the NACs gone?

| As Mergs said, gone to cheap venues, every one! (says the hippie, pinko, war-protestor type hehehehehehehe)
Actually, I found it interesting to re-read this thread. It was quite fascinating to see some of the stuff talked about there, and then then look at how it applies to now. One thing in particular was the question about how one finds out about good local and regional events.
I think Peet and FRED answered that question pretty convincingly over the past 3 years.

| FRED tells you how good an event is looking/has looked in the past. It doesn't cover how well organized they are, or tell you which names to examine. | |

Actually, when I recall how many times someone has started a thread here and been told rather quickly to do a search for an older thread that already covers their query, shouldn't we be happy that they did (even if their reply effectively revived the entire thread)? | |

| I'm glad epeepox revived it. Some of the stuff edew said about competitive mentality was really great, and I'm glad I had this chance to read it.
