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.

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.

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.

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.

You mean filled with bickering, and no one's happy afterwards?

Kidding, it sounds like a good idea.

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.

Rochester's Nats bid has been officially submitted.

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.

Rob posted an update. TN is first Long Island second, Rochester third.

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.
