Interest in tournaments at Centre?
I'm hoping to get some tournaments run at Centre (unlike the late notice spring tournament that we wound up canceling last year).
The goal would be to run one tournament during each of the three terms Centre does, so we'd have events in the fall, winter, and spring. What weekends work best for teams?
For the fall tournament, my team wants to try and run it on 9/5, but I think that might be too early in the year. Any input?

That date would work very well for Grayson.
Actually that would probably be the only fall date that would work for us.
We will probably try to go to at least two, maybe all three tournaments.

Re: Interest in tournaments at Centre?
Any idea on what type of questions you guys will be using. As for the date, it seems like its a bit early in the season, but not to early overall. I'll see if I can talk my coach into taking us.

Something of a pyramidal variety, but nothing's for certain yet. I'm inclined to say it will be something HSAPQ, but I don't know what sets they're putting out for the fall. If not them, than likely NAQT.

Re: Interest in tournaments at Centre?
Given that the tournament is coming up in about three weeks you should probably start formalizing invitations and format in order to avoid something similar to what happened last year.

What day is the tournament and what type of questions are being used?

Maybe we shouldn't count on attending tournaments announced in preliminary "who would be interested" threads?Kahloon wrote:Given that the tournament is coming up in about three weeks you should probably start formalizing invitations and format in order to avoid something similar to what happened last year.
Also, last year's cancellation was due to the laziness of Kentucky teams more than Joe's tournament announcing skills.
In addition, Joe has had problems with reserving rooms due to ridiculous bureaucracy last time I talked with him.

They scheduled that tournament on the absolute WORST day possible in Kentucky: Derby Day. We weren't lazy, just occupied.Huang wrote:Maybe we shouldn't count on attending tournaments announced in preliminary "who would be interested" threads?Kahloon wrote:Given that the tournament is coming up in about three weeks you should probably start formalizing invitations and format in order to avoid something similar to what happened last year.

I would like to now more than a week in advanced if we can attend their tournament.

I did not intend to criticize Joe's tournament announcing skills. He simply asked for input regarding holding a tournament on September 5th. I just said that if he intends for that to happen, he should probably begin formalizing logistics among other things.Huang wrote: Maybe we shouldn't count on attending tournaments announced in preliminary "who would be interested" threads?

Re: Interest in tournaments at Centre?
Right, cause Joe would not have known when to announce until told so. Anyways, it seemed rather odd to bring up the failure of a past tournament that was pretty much not the Centre team's fault and then to imply this tournament, that probably won't even exist as I've already mentioned, would suffer the same fate.Kahloon wrote:I just said that if he intends for that to happen, he should probably begin formalizing logistics among other things.Huang wrote: Maybe we shouldn't count on attending tournaments announced in preliminary "who would be interested" threads?

As for any other fall semester Centre tournaments, reservations apparently can't be made until the second semester due to as I've mentioned before, ridiculous bureaucracy. Joe: confirm/deny?

This is what was said at the cancellation of last year's tournament.powerplant wrote: Sadly we have to cancel the tournament. I think that there wasn't really enough notice for many teams to register, so hopefully by announcing things farther in the future we won't have this problem.
But thanks for answering the question of wether the tournament would exist or not.

Re: Interest in tournaments at Centre?
I do not remember it at all being announced too late, in terms of teams being able to register. Teams had pretty much all of April, which notably includes Spring Break, to register. Now if teams wanted to watch horses run around in circles instead, there's not much any tournament host in Kentucky can do about that.Kahloon wrote:This is what was said at the cancellation of last year's tournament.powerplant wrote: Sadly we have to cancel the tournament.
