Now that the "Plastic & HMS Remembrance Day" is finished, I would give some suggestions for the next time
To be honest, even if I've organized everything and it was one of the most beautiful event of the year, we've had some problems:
First of all, I think that this event deserve a better spot in the community's priorities. What I'm saying is that it's quite hard here to find 8 entrants that desire to play with Plastics and it is more difficult on the 22nd of July for a lot of reasons:
1. The hobby shop where I usually organise my events is closed from the second week of July until the 3rd of August. It means that in Naples we don't have a venue.
You can think: but can't you play in a park or similar? Well, it's quite hard to play under the sun with 33-38 degrees. Parents would be very unhappy of that.
2. To have 8 confirmed entrants and a good venue, me and a couple of guys of my team have been forced to go in Aprilia. It means we spent 30 EUR in trains to arrive there.
3. Why the Sunday? Even if I had had 8 confirmed entrants, our venue in Naples would have been closed, because it's open from Monday until Saturday. Also, I've found a lot of problems with trains because on Sunday the number of interregional trains - the cheapest - is lower, and this means that we had to run the events quite fast. I've felt a lot of pressure.
4. Lots of Bladers are on holiday in these period and it means that our tournaments are poorer of entrants
I think that the best period to play for us is from January to June, both for the weather and the number of entrants, and please give everyone the chance to play on Saturday xD
I think that the best thing is to do as you do for the Beydays. The organizers have the chance to decide the best day for their community!
That said, thanks for the great chance you of the Committee gave us, and thank you everyone to make this day history! Plastic & HMS Rules!
Melseth,il diavolo che si annida nel profondo della mia mente... mi spinge alla distruzione e alla pazzia...
