VETO?

[adosreme]

Hmm I like those ideas. Mac might travel to Chicago to play COLT, so we would be able to host a mirror here for sure.

So how I see it playing out right now would be: Mac hosting an academic open tournament or Moon Pie + COLT on a weekend in early August. We'd host Jeff Goldblum around its normal late August date.

How about that? Again...I'd still have to contact the other writers about mirroring their tournaments.

I want this to happen soooooo bad.

Yes, this idea is what I was proposing.

Just to get some momentum back in this thread, I've gotten permission for a COLT mirror at Mac, and I've also inquired about hosting a Moon Pie mirror, but have not heard back yet.

Which weekend would people (especially those traveling from the U.S.) prefer for a two day (Academic Tournament TBA) + COLT mirror at McMaster University?:

August 6th + 7th

OR

August 13th +14th

For those who would be traveling and would also like to spend some time checking out other things, here's a calendar with events going on in Toronto (a 40 minute-1 hour bus ride away depending on traffic) that may help you choose which weekend you would prefer: http://www.toronto.com/thingstodo/event ... &year=2011. The Toronto Blue Jays would be in town for the August 13th weekend.

Let me know, and I can start the room booking process and make announcements.

There's maybe a 20% chance I could make the first weekend, and essentially a 0% chance I could make the second weekend.

[women, fire and dangerous things]

I wouldn't be able to make it the second weekend either.

[grapesmoker]

The latter is the weekend of VCU Open, which means I'm out, but I'm also not available on the former weekend due to work-related travel. So I guess you shouldn't count on me either way.

I'd also be able to make the first weekend but not the second.

Jordan Palmer had mentioned something to me about a Moon Pie/FOGHAT mirror in June?

Just an update,

It looks like Mac will be hosting Moon Pie and COLT mirrors on the weekend of August 6th-7th.

Is there going to be an official announcement for this soon?

[MacSR]

I was waiting for confirmation of room bookings, but I might do it earlier.

[adosreme]

I figured it might be a good idea since Michigan just announced a VCU mirror on that weekend and you might want to let people know that there'll be a tournament that we can attend without crossing the border.

Argh why does the Moon Pie mirror have to be on the same weekend as VCU Open?

Am I going to have any chance to play a good academic regular difficulty event before next summer? -_-

[bmcke]

Sinan's right, but it might be too late by now.

VETO will be the usual guerrilla-style tournament and will be held on Saturday, July 23:
http://caql.org/events/veto11.html
The Vancouver site will be Simon Fraser University's Burnaby Mountain campus. Anyone interested in playing there should contact me at pmcc -at- alumni -dot- sfu -dot- ca .
There will be a mirror at the University of Toronto. If you're interested in playing there, contact Max at maxwell -dot- trower -at- utoronto -dot- ca .

Moon Pie will also be fun.
