Anybody know who's bidding on the NE Regional this year?
Also, any bids in for NJ States? Robert, Jon, and I could probably put together something for that.
-
Right now Lynnfield Mass is calling Dibs on NE regionals. Where Nats was 2010.

Right now Rochester has the best dibs on NE regionals, actually.

If we get Nats, then Regionals can be wherever. However, if we don't get Nats, I'll be bidding on Regionals.

Personally I vote you bid on ALL THE THINGS!!!!
(on a related note, states?)

Psh. Too low class. I haven't heard anything about states, the three possible hosts are Greeson, Roy and I.

In my opinion, you should give States to Roy. Odds are if you don't get Nats, you'll get regionals, since it makes sense to put it roughly in the middle of the region. If Roy gets States, that gives me potential to win one of the States, since I'm going for RNRS points this year.

This isn't what I heard from John and Sam. They both said they're pushing on Lynnfield and Roy is supposed to be the one pushing for Nats I thought. Honestly though if anyone in the NE gets Nats it doesn't really matter for anyone up here because we will all be happy.

Simply put, Randall's bid for Regionals is much, much better for those of us in PA and MD, in the form of being roughly 4 less hours to drive one way. If Randall gets Regionals, I can make it. If John or Sam get it, my odds go way down, depending on the date. Additionally, Rochester is a stronger location for Nats than Long Island is. I love Roy to death, but Rochester is definitely the stronger location, because it's not in as busy an area, has an international airport, and has potentially free (or at least cheap) lodging (Randall's location would be at a college). I've actually heard of Roy's putting in a bid for Nats twice now, and I hadn't heard it before today. On the other hand, Randall has been talking about putting in a bid for a few months now. That doesn't have any bearing on who should get it if TN falls through, that's just been what I've heard regarding NE's Nats bids.
-
I am -not- bidding for regionals. I will host PA states again, though, unless someone else comes out of the woodwork that I had no idea about.
-
Depending on the dates, I can co-host with you if you'd like the help, Marti. I'd like to play in at least T12P, and T22P if there's any chance of putting them at different times (unlikely, I know), but beyond that, I'm willing to help however I can.

Sounds good to me. Maybe next year I can give you a year off for State - we'll see, I've got a lot of groundwork to cover before that can happen.
As for Regionals this year, I'm sure I speak for the rest of my group when I say I would prefer going to Rochester. Easier traveling and all that.
Finally, a thought: would it be a good idea to set up a rotation of geographic areas within the region to host Regionals? We were down in MD last year (representing MD/southern PA), perhaps Rochester this year (repping central/western NY and northern PA), then New England next year, followed by NJ/NYC area. Basically, move around the region like it's a MP game.

This is something I'd be okay with, and is part of the reason I support a Rochester (or Long Island) Regionals. Going from one extreme (MD) to another (MA) doesn't make sense.

You mean filled with bickering, and no one's happy afterwards?
Kidding, it sounds like a good idea.
-
I know my brother and I would love to host Regionals some day, as long as we can get it to work with the church's schedule.
-

Randall, is the Rochester O-Plan Nats 2012 been written on stone yet? Are you guys definitely bidding? Time is running out in essence.
I am personally not in the bid plan for Nats but the Valley Stream group that meets at ReBirth where most of you who have posted here may already have attended tourneys at on Long Island. I shall be supporting and helping them with their bid as soon as they solidify their venue.
Honestly, if the TN group will not be solid with their Nats bid soon then you guys better be prepared to take over with more intensity with your bids. The Valley Stream group is still determined to put their bid in especially if bids from other NE States are not solid yet about theirs at this point in time.
The Long Island contingent is prepared to bid for either Regionals or States depending on what is left for it to host. We will defer to the other major NY State groups and will give them dibs.
I hope that keeps everyone abreast of Long Island's large tourney plans.
Peace and Godbless all.

Lovely! I trust the proposal is solid. Prayers up.
Nonetheless, if the Valley Stream group likewise bids, then we should have more back-up for Nats hosting. I'm almost certain we would defer to Rochester should any decision be made by Mr. Anderson.
Peace.

I don't think the options aside from TN were in any particular order.
-
If TN should somehow fall through, I am prepared to hit the ground running. I've already lined up the venue, transportation, food and play space. However, Chris Fachman (I think that's how you spell it) has assured me that the chance of that is low.

Do you definitely have the permission of Roberts to not only use their facilities for the tournament, but use dorm rooms (as you've mentioned a couple times before)? If so, how much is that going to cost?
-
Yes, all of the above. I don't have permission from Risk Management. If they deny me, it just means that the price will go up.

There's always Millinieum Games...they said they would be happy to host tournaments. We would just have to avoid their MtG tournaments. :P
-
Then I have to wrangle with paying them for hosting, etc. I'd prefer the beast I know, but Millennium might be worth looking into.

Odds are Roberts is going to charge you an outrageous amount of money to use their facilities, especially the dorms.

I'm still looking into it. I'm fully capable of handling things.

I'm actually curious if this has ever been looked at as an option to help raise money for the national host. Can anyone with more experience elaborate on this a bit? Has advertising ever been looked at?

I just got 3 clients this week so :P now to see if any of them end up paying me.

lots has gone on while i was mia from redemption. Randell if you do get it i would love 2 help. We are closer 2 Roberts now as we are in Fairport. If not I would be willing to help if you bid next year.
-
Here's what I know regarding NE Regionals: John M in MA really wants it, and is quite confident that he'll get it. Randall also has a strong bid since he probably won't be getting Nats, and if that is indeed the case, it could go either way for which one of them will get it. There's arguments for both of them, most notably John's preparation and experience and Randall's location, and against both of them, most notably John's location makes it harder on those of us in the southern PA/MD region, and Randall's inexperience with larger tournaments.

You guys moved? I'd love the help. Will I start seeing you at the smaller tournaments?

Sure, you would say that after going 2-0 with a +10 differential against us. :)

Yeah i'd like 2 make as many as i can. When will your next tourney be? I will plan on trying to take off work of it.

Jonathon's hosting one on the 29th (I can't make it...) With four active hosts, we may be able to host more than one tournament a month.
-
*26th

i wont find out till just before if i can make his but will try to 2 get something together for maybe april.

That was your overall score, but you were only 2/+10 against NJ players. Another state provided the other one.
-
An update: I'm working with John M. right now. We shall see... muhahaha!
-
Randell,
If you dont get regionals or nationals are you putting in for states? If not I may have a good location for about 20-30 people. Unless someone else is going for it, marc or jon.
-
Right now I'm focusing on Nationals. It looks like John M. has Regionals all wrapped up (to my dismay), and I don't think it'd be worth the hassle to host States.
-
thats too bad about regionals for westerner new yorker but i would say that its mass's turn to have regionals since it went, MD, NJ, Ny, pa the previous years. Pershasp regionals and nationals could be in ny next year if you we dont get nats this year.

If we don't get nats, that's what I'm hoping for.

well i will definelty help with one or both if so
-
So where am I going to have to go for states now? :(

maybe just outside rochester

Marc is pretty much out of the tournament scene....maybe even Redemption too. I know I've talked to him about his playgroup dissolving on facebook.
-
thats sad 2 here. His tournies were fun and my first tournement experience too, as you know.

Roy is long Island putting in for states?
-
So regionals is in Boston this year? Guess I won't be attending that tournament :(
-
Yeah, if Regionals is in Boston I won't be there either, sadly.
-
I won't go.
-
Has it been decided yet where Regionals is going to be, or is this all still speculation?
-
Speculation/rumor.
-
Both Chris and I have heard from John M. that he's planning on hosting Regionals at Sam Nurge's church. I was hoping to have Regionals to fall back on if I don't win the bid for Nats, but it looks like I won't be able to host any high-level tournaments this season if TN gets Nats.... I could bid against John M, but I don't want to start that fight.

I actually argued that John should give you the bid for regionals, since putting it in MA alienates a lot of people (as we've seen in this thread), and it would be nice for you to get larger tournament experience before hosting Nats.
-
Olijar, if I go to regionals you are welcome to ride with me. I'm assuming you would have been able to make a Rochester Nats and I'm 45 minutes south of Rochester. The rest of you, I probably can't do much for but there are a few more empty seats in my car (gas money requested but not required.)

My point is that I think you should put in a bid for regionals regardless of what he says. Normally I wouldn't recommend it, but with two people just in this thread saying they couldn't make it in MA, I'm forced to conclude that might be a bad idea.
-
Like I said, we'll talk. He's the guy who got me into Redemption, so I'm kinda leery about challenging him.
-
if only we could have 2 regionals. It would be nice to have itnear by, but as i said i think its mass's turn for regionals
-
Just to add to the "keep it in NY" crowd, I'm never going to be able to attend any sort of regionals/tourament outside of NYS.
-
If we're just making personal preferences public right now, it's much shorter for me and the rest of the CT/MA playgroup to drive to Bostonish than to Rochester, NY. Looking at Google Maps, it might even be quicker for people in Long Island to drive to Bostonish than Rochester.
It seems like the CT to NJ range is most central for the future, but that would require things like enduring NJ's insanity or getting me to get off my seat and actually do something.

The problem is Rochester is much quicker than Bostonish for those of us in PA/MD, so I think a balance has to be struck. I'd love to just give Greeson or Roy regionals.
-
Oh, I know Rochester's closer for many people. But it seems like every thread of "where is a big tournament going to be" very quickly becomes "I want it near me," so I decided to post that "near me plz!" for myself and others near me that don't frequent the boards.
-
Oh I understand, but I'm seeking the best location possible. Rochester and Long Island are both still roughly 5-6 hours from me, so it's a pretty long drive regardless. If I was going to go for what's best for me, I'd encourage Marti to host or even put in a bid myself.
-
Whats all this "centralized location" talk, we were in Virginia last year people! ;D

-
It was pretty darn close. It'd be tough to find a playgroup that's further out.
-
I think MA manages that quite nicely.
-
Do they play redemption in Maine by any chance? Do they even get internet in Maine?
-
There's a Maine playgroup right on the border of Canada apparently.
-
Let's do regionals there. I've always wanted to know what it's like to be a hermit.
-
As I understand it, you need to get a new shell every so often. There aren't too many that can fit me.
-
I'll make one of out mud and straw.
-

They're still more central than MD.
-

Not really. MD is closer to NJ than MA is, and then you get players from southern PA and MD (which there are quite a few), Alex over in western PA, Matt Sinclair in the Philly region, plus anyone from eastern Ohio or northern Virginia willing to make the trip. I'd imagine Rochester would be roughly in the middle of MA and MD (too lazy to check for sure) as well.
-
One of the more LOL worthy aspects of distance is that from Rochester to Long Island usually takes longer than from Rochester to Boston
-
On some days, Rochester to Long Island may take less time than from central NJ to Long Island. :)
-
The biggest problem is there are valid reasons to have the tournament in each location, but thinking this all through I agree with Chronic for the most part. As Chronic was voicing for souther Pa/Md players (like myselfe) Maine is just too far.
Kittens I want to take a little moment and thank you for having the nature that this game is supposed to emulate. He has been willing to put aside what is best for him and think of how actions can affect others...
Thanks :thumbup:
-
Whoa! I wasn't anticipating that my comments would alter the decision for regionals. We have a large amount of players that must converge to one location. I agree with whoever mentioned the thought of a rotation of tournament locations between the north and south of the region. Since MD was last year's host it should start this year in the North (I'm considering Rochester as part of the Northern region).

Well, it was more a compass point rotation that I proposed, but yeah. Makes sense to me to have Regionals in a more central location the year after an extreme. Also, since Randall's put in a serious bid for Nats (and would presumably put in just as serious a bid next year), I feel that getting a run through with a large tourney in Rochester this year would be a good idea.
-
(I'm considering Rochester as part of the Northern region).
I'm not. We have barely any snow, and it's supposed to get to 43 degrees today. Ugh....
@_JM_ Yes, I will bid next year if I don't get it this year.

anyone else thinking ofhosting ny states? Also what month and date would we want it?

If you're hosting, I'd like it to be May 5th. That's the weekend after finals, which worked great for us last year.
-

I typically can IF no one wants it. However, I have frequently had it, so I'm more than happen to allow others to have it. I just don't like a year going by with NO states at all.
-
I'd like to host it. I think the location i have should work well. That date works for me as far as i know.
-
Rob, are you south of Rochester? I would plan to go to the NY states as long as it doesn't conflict with any states that are closer to me (PA, NJ, or MD).

Fairport
-
I won't be able to go to NY states because I have a belt test for Tae Kwon do on the 5th

its not set in stone yet

Looking to get a date set for a NJ State bid. Do we have an idea on when NE Regionals will be? And any preferences for a state date?

if everyone in ny is ok will it i will see if i can reservd the space for may 5th once that is secure i will send in my application

Does this mean NJ states won't be like last year?
-
I wasn't at states last year, so I don't know. But we'll try to make it good.
-
It was at a con, so it might be a bit difficult to beat that. Also, the categories were spread out, so we could play in each one.
-
Those were some good, nerdy times.
-
Also, the categories were spread out, so we could play in each one.
I actually don't know how I feel about that. Obviously the main reason categories are played at the same time is for the sake of time, but honestly, I think the system as it works now is fair, because it forces players to decide what categories they want. Can you imagine letting Jonathan Greeson play in both T1 and T2 2P at NE regionals?
On another note, would anyone be interested in a semi-official category of Type Ban at NE Regionals this year? I have Rob's blessing, and I'm willing to buy packs to let the prizes be the same at a regular regional tournament, but I need to know that enough players would pay (at $5) to recoup my losses.
-
NJ States last year was at DexCon, a three day gaming convention. We were not really concerned with time.

Which is why I noted that the system in place also has other functions beyond saving time.
-
The tournament also consisted of Me, Randall, Dario, and some Noobs from Dexcon that we had just taught the game so that also was not an issue (side note: mostly to rub it in, I kept Randall from sweeping the tourney in the last category we played, mwahahahah)

Yeah, there goes my perfect State record...

if you're going to steal Chris' catch phrase you should at least get it right

Which con? I only know of two gaming cons in NJ.

Chronic, I'd be up for that. What would the ban list be?
-
Probably only Mayhem and NJ, however, I would look at everything and see if we can't mix it up a bit. It's possible it would be whatever cards are currently banned in the current TB thread.
-
States at DexCon? I like that idea. I've played in several tournaments Roy hosted there. But that puts states after regionals. (And, if it conflicts with the NJ World Changers project like it has the last two years, means my family would be out.) If I could go, though, I could probably get in for free if I worked the SFR, Inc. table...and I could compete in the Dragon Dice Nationals.
-
Just checked, and I'll be away during DexCon (again). If someone wants to run States there, let me know. Otherwise we'll put in a State bid for Colts Neck.
-
Thats where we had it last year and yes it was Way after regionals. I liked it but then again I got to stay in a hotel for 3 days, free of charge for working the booth, so i'm biased
-
I agree, DexCon was a lot of fun. (Those saying it wouldn't be a good idea are just haters who are jealous they couldn't go last year.)

Not saying it's not a good idea, but I think it might be best if the main New Jersey player on the boards actually gets to go this year...
(And yes, I am jealous.)

I am going to put my bid for New York States this week for may 4&5.
Roy when will the o-plan page be started 4 the northeast.

I'm leaning toward late May for NJ. I have to wait until Robert is home from college and his chorale tour, since I need him to make the arrangements at Colts Neck while I'm working at another church.

No, but it'll probably be in Lynnfield, same as Nats 2010.

Fact. John M.'s been so helpful to me in Redemption. I wouldn't be playing if it weren't for him. I don't want to get into a bidding war with him to try and take away something he's really excited about. I'd be perfectly willing to help out at a MA Regionals.

It's really disapointing to hear that Regionals is getting defaulted to MA. Maybe next year.

You'd have a ride with me if you wanted.

I'll think about it. I'm really just inwardly frustrated that the Regional tournament system has defaulted to MA for NE and WI for MW in the same year. They both deserve it, but it really is hard on the player base in the OH/PA/MI area, however small we are.

We just had regionals in MD last year. I'm not any happier about a MA regionals than you are, but we did just have it in the opposite end of the region last year.
