When is there going to be a members tournament in The Hague?
That would be something
How many would come?
The owner would do everything to set you guys up good
The Hague is really nice and only 40 minutes from Amsterdam airport
Who organises the members tournament, who should I speak to?
Ultimately that would be all of the members here that make those tournaments happen! A team seems to develop for each member only tournament consisting of one or more of our members that live close to the host room, of course the host room owner/manager, certain members who always seem to step up to help with basics like collecting entry fees, Matt Hilton has been getting shirts made for those who want one, a tournament director on site, and so on -- it's definitely a team effort!! I am often just in the background, these guys do such a great job!!
There is basic criteria for the events -- at least 12 good condition 9' tables, suitable hotels and food available, and airport not too far since we come from all over. And an enthusiastic local member of OnePocket.org to act as "host" and liaison with the owner of the host room and steer the rest of us to local stuff -- that could be you and Pepin!!
For your location -- being a little more of a commitment from the US membership we should see how many of us would be up for going. It certainly would make for a spectacular location for us!! And as for cost, maybe you can do some research on what our hotels and meals might cost. Flights for us would vary depending on how convenient each of us is to an international airport of course.
But it sure would be a fun thing to do!! How about I start a new thread to talk about it and to begin to get a better idea what it would involve, and how many of us might really be up for attending? The thread can be an ongoing project... and the "when" of when it would be held is TBD -- "to be determined".
