Gauging interest in a Meeting Engagement event (tournament?)

[ninefinger]

Hey guys

 

i just listened to the Lords and Heroes podcast’s most recent episode, breaking down the Meeting Engagement format, and it sounds super cool.

 

if I were to look at running an event at the clubhouse on a Saturday, would folks be interested?  1000 pts, with 90 minute rounds.  Either no cost or normal club dues ($5 or less).

how many rounds would you be up for? Is 3 enough?

 

would love to see some chatter, and tell me what you think.  Probably looking for a weekend in September or October

I would be Interested and I know of a few other that would be as well. 3 90 min rounds sounds about perfect to me.

 

BTW: It would prob be good to avoid Oct 12th since that is Food for the Blood God down in Oregon City Geeks and games.

You should sign up and come. It’s great fun and for a good cause.

Meeting engagement is great, and goes pretty quick. It might be a little difficult to fit in 90mon rounds for new players since it  implicates things a bit but it’s a ton of fun. 

 

If if you are looking to generate new players you might thing about a standard 2k play day with Swiss pairings. No scoring like a tournament, just the pairing to make later rounds more evenly matched.  

 

Either way fun will be had for sure.
