Your goal is 120 players which is a number that NASL never ever had all at once and that was over a year ago when our competitive community still had more than one active team. Not only did we never have 120 active players in that tournament, I believe about 40 percent or so were European players and that number was even larger in WFL. I know NA players complain when the servers are East coast but the number of potential European players and East coast players outweighs the West coast by like 30 to 1. I can't even name 10 West coast players that I think would sign up.
Still love the scramble format and I'll play no matter what but I think East coast will attract more players overall. Granted this will be a non summer tournament so I'm not sure what the European turnout will even be due to that as well.

I think what Nevino is trying to do is to make NA have something of their own. He'll welcome EU players as it will make sure there's more players overall but purposely making it east coast just to accommodate EU players when it's an NA tournament is bad. I think NA should be focusing on getting as many NA players as possible. Worst comes to worst, he can easily make it east coast.

Nevino said:Overall with it being the school year, matches will be later in the day for NA making it harder for EUs to attend, but also I want this to be a tourney more about getting newer NA players playing and less about just having a ton of EUs come over. Also without as many EUs it will take off the pressure of having to scrim at 7est at the latest and allow for more NA players to play with later scrim times. It will allow for more newer NA players to receive playing time, the EUs that generally sign up for these NA tourneys are better than the average NA even with ping. This makes it harder for newer players who sign up to receive playing time, so I want to give them a step up, we'll never grow the NA community if we just have EUs play a ton in every NA tourney. That being said, if there's a numbers problem, I will be open to some changes, also I am expecting closer to 8-9 teams then 10-12. I wanted to set the bar higher instead of lower, so we will see how this develops and move on from there.
as always, just chill out and let hornemaster run the tournament rob you filthy euro loverGuaccmoleboy said:Rob trying to take over tourney
