How many local tournaments do you have to host before you can host District and higher?

You only have to host one local before hosting a district. From the tournament guide:

A host must gain experience with lower level tournaments. (i.e. you must host a local before you can host a district, etc.)

The requirement used to be two, I didn't realize that that had changed.

Are the requirments the same for all tourny levels?

I believe so. Each level requires the host to have hosted at least one tournament of the previous level. Hosting Nationals might require more but I've never put in to host one so I'm not sure, lol.

So to host a district you have to host a local.  To host a state you have to host a district.  To host a regional you have to host a state.  To host a national you have to host a regional.

The only thing is that for State or higher, if multiple people put in for it then it is up to either Rob or the people that put in for it to agree with where it will be.  Until last year I was the only host in TN, so I've always done the state tournaments.  And regionals has been going every other in TN or KY, because Mark U./Brian J. and me have agreed to do that.  Nationals has to be approved my Rob.  You can put it for it at every year but unless Rob approves it you are never going to get it.

So if only one playgroup puts in for a certain state then do they automatically make it?

Yes.

So who do we talk to if we want to get VA in that cycle?

the higher the level of tournament the more it costs to host it. Natz costts $200
