In the past the semi-final locations tend to get leaked out a little early? Anybody heard anything? particulary northeast

The weird thing about these tournaments is that even if you pass the preliminary rounds you may not want to travel 3+ hours to go to the semi's. Some people might want to gauge if it is worth there while to attend the prelim's if the semi's are going to be close by]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293970/1559370.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293970/1559370.page GMT Re:Any word about semi-final locations for ard boyz?

The even weirder part is that most people would want to go to the Semis for the prizes, but fewer want to go to the Finals. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293970/1559393.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293970/1559393.page GMT Re:Any word about semi-final locations for ard boyz?

FLGS isn't (or hasn't been) a location for the semis. Very centrally located with a large game room and tons of good terrain. Instead we've had a travel a state away in the past, and the closest store the hosts it has a gaming space Maybe half as big, and some of the tables ended up with only hills for terrain. Not even to mention the fact they couldn't figure out how it was supposed to be scored and cheated the guy who earned third place out of his spot to instead give it to a local player.

Anyways, I plan to get some good photos of the room and table set up this year and try to advocate on behalf of the store for them to have a shot at hosting Semis.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293970/1560604.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293970/1560604.page GMT Any word about semi-final locations for ard boyz?

Absolutely will be a 'Ardboyz finals at Chicago.....

And people on the west coast won't have to fly so far to attend the finals.....

I've been putting out quite broad hints for about 2 months, not many people pay attention.) I gave up actually making statements about what GW does. Last time I did, a couple of people gave me hell for not giving proof about things I knew that they didn't.

As to defeating the purpose of the finals? Not my tournaments, go ask GW. But I'd offer the idea that if you'r somehow trying to crown a hardboyz champion, you don't really get that by putting something in Chicago. You get the best player of that day who felt like paying airfare to Chicago. If you to theoretically split up the finals to East and West coast, and Chicago, a lot more people might be able to show up. Is 3x as many tournaments and more people playing a bad thing?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293970/1562732.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293970/1562732.page GMT Re:Any word about semi-final locations for ard boyz?

Wow. That's pretty cool. And I have to agree since I have about 0 chance of going to Chicago for the finals even if I win a place at the semis.

Don't listen to the jerks; keep spreading the good word and we'll see what happens. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293970/1562844.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293970/1562844.page GMT Any word about semi-final locations for ard boyz? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293970/1562850.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293970/1562850.page GMT Any word about semi-final locations for ard boyz? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293970/1562890.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293970/1562890.page GMT Any word about semi-final locations for ard boyz?
