the future of northeastern tournaments

[jmallick]

As lordiceman has mentioned on more than one occasion, the demand for Scrabble tournaments in the Northeast has far surpassed the supply of them. I'm looking to do something about that, and I have the following ideas in mind

i'd be interested in playing the high-stakes.

if comfort diner was rated, why not yours?

i'd like to play the second maine event too. mostly positive reviews. the only negative i heard about it was the climate control situation. this may be the reason why more tourneys are not conducted in college classrooms.

thanks for taking the initiative to run tourneys. i was looking forward to the last one but the europe trip popped out.

i forgot to answer your query. i'd be willing to pay $500-$1500 entry fee.

So make it a $750 buy-in, and Sam can pay for my entry too. ;-)

maybe. but a weekend's stay in a nice hotel there won't set people back a thousand bucks either. so that's the positive. you might want to hold that when the weather is nice so people can make a little vacation out of it.

i will shut up now! :)

Great! Count me in for #1, and as for the other two, I would if I could. Just wish I had the money to afford #2 and the rating to qualify for #3. :)

Seeing as how I hurt my rating badly at the inaugural Maine event, I won't raise my voice too loudly about excluding "greater Massachusetts" (NH, VT, ME) from that MA-vs-NY thing.

Duh, that was me
