Hey there,
Here is a community tool heavily used in France and Germany, and guess what, a US section was created not long ago :
http://www.tabletoptournaments.net/index.php
It's basically a website listing tournaments/dates/games systems/ locations. Tournament Organisers must register their event for it to be listed, and can access really practical functions for free (online inscriptions, mass mailing to registered people, payment status follow-up...) a kind of market place for tournaments....except its free.
There is also a not too shabby pairing program, to which you can feed the list of participants exported from the website once inscriptions are complete, and with many options to sort the pairings.
As a
TO and player having used it for 3-4 years I can only strongly recommend this website.
What will the americans make of this ? I hope it helps in shapping up your how so widespread gaming community. Certainly hope it does strengthen the community of my favourite favour of game :
40k ;-) If you're interested in giving a hand to help the US version grow, dont hesitate to get in touch with the site admin :
