it would be awsome we do get our participants quickly so he might consider doing it
FINGERS CROSSED LOL XD
I don't think so, remember Arupeao has a life to and I am sure he has things that he has to do But you never know we could have two tournys a month that would be cool.
Hah. Slight misprint in your statement above. Should be "remember Arupaeo has a
wife..." Family has to come first, and I am very fortunate to have a couple other bladers in my family and a wife who is supportive and understanding. But
understanding only goes so far, you understand?
Even though 1 tournament a month is about my personal limit, that doesn't mean that it is the limit for the greater MD, DC, NOVA area! Ideally we would have 2 tournaments a month in the region (or more!), and maybe start having some of those tournaments in DC or Arlington, and maybe start having some of those tournaments up closer to Baltimore.
If you look at NYC, or Toronto, or London, you see that the blading community is large enough and active enough to support multiple tourneys in a month. You will also see that they have multiple tournament hosts to share the responsibility. The other important factor though is that they are all in areas with extensive mass transit. To that end, we would need to start looking for venues that are right next to Metrorail stops, and we could probably benefit from some coordination.
I am happy to help out in any way I can with training, resources and insight to those who are interested in becoming tournament hosts. I have surely learned from the things that have worked out, as well as from the mistakes I have made. It takes dedication and hard work, but I am confident that many of you could make it work if you so chose!

Well as luck would have it, the 19th or 20th are the target days for the next tournament, so perhaps you will get your birthday wish!
for the date I mean, I'm not so hot on the name...
