I would LOVE to host a Nats someday, and really a lot of things are ideal here. Being a boarding school, we actually have dorm rooms that people could stay in getting rid of the need for hotels. We have a big new Gym that would be great for the actual tournament, and several smaller classrooms in the same building that would be great for trading/hang out rooms. We have a dining room that could take care of food for people, and several fast food choices about 10 mins away for people who didn't want to eat on location.Really the only downside would be the distance from an airport. However, it is that very downside that has kept me from putting in a bid in the past. Perhaps I will look into things a bit more and reconsider.The New York bid is at a college so we also have all of these things as far as I know Randall would be the one to ask to confirm. We are also about 20 minutes from Rochester International (I think?) Airport

You would be hard pressed to find a more accomodating place or group of people than the players in our TX/Arkansas playgroup.Terry Markoff (not a very good player but a fantastic host)

Dallas is due Assuming that 2012 is in TN, and that 2013 is back up North (Rochester, NY?), then I think Dallas would be a front-runner for 2014.These are totally just my personal guesses and have NOTHING to do with my elder status. I know NOTHING. This is NOT a spoiler.
Assuming that 2012 is in TN, and that 2013 is back up North (Rochester, NY?), then I think Dallas would be a front-runner for 2014, with it returning to MN/IA/WI area in 2015

I may be the only one on the boards but I think it should be in Atlanta, GA.
There was actually a lot of talk for a GA nationals this year. I wonder what happened to all that.
Quote from: Chronic Apathy on January 30, 2012, 11:52:06 AMThere was actually a lot of talk for a GA nationals this year. I wonder what happened to all that.The GA guys and the TN guys are actually pretty tight, and go to each other's tourneys. I think the GA guys decided that they didn't really have a good venue for Nats, and therefore chose to go in with the TN guys to host it up there.
(My final post. It's been good, I'm hardly known, but unless I'm allowed to make a new account, this is the last you'll hear from me! Post-wise anyway...)
Lewis XVI and Clark XV are hand delivering the bid from the Northwest territory. Sacagawea XVII just delivered a message that the expedition is somewhere in the Snake River valley. As long as P-Phil cooperates, the bid should arrive in time.
