People complain about how Redemption isn't played much during the winter and fall months. I'm wondering if it's allowed to host higher level events early during the season to spread out the tournament distribution and possibly allow players to go to more events.
Thoughts, critques, or ideas?
In addition to what Chris said, it's usually better for bigger tournaments to be in the summer, when people are more likely able to take a day or two off to travel to a nearby state or regional.
There's also the traditional "tournament fatigue" after Nationals. I know a lot of players (like myself) take anywhere from a few weeks to a month or two to put their cards away after a busy summer tournament season; then things start picking back up in the late fall/winter.
That said, I don't know if there's any written rule against it, but I know that Rob has to approve all Regionals and States, and I don't know what his personal idea on it is. I would assume there would be a bit more leeway with States than with Regionals, but I would probably ask Rob personally if I wanted to host a fall/winter state tournament.
