Unfortunately with low numbers due to a couple of reasons we will be canceling our tournament this year. It's unfortunate the districts can't get together and work out a schedule to accommodate each club that wishes to host a tournament. We have traditionally held our tournament on this coming weekend. Look for us next year, we plan to hold a great tournament.

I don't believe its a lack of support of the other clubs, I believe it is from lack of planning and getting your tournament on the calendar in a timely fashion. This isn't the first time that your club has gone and tried to schedule a tournament after another local club has already posted theirs to the calendar, Eric Pinkerton.

Eric,

You are 100% incorrect, Fredonia had the tournament on the calender well before others, in fact it was decided in May of last year when our tournament would be. Sorry that you were misinformed. The district should at least get together and work out conflicts where possible. That's my suggestion.

I turned in the information in September & the final paperwork was turned in at the October 31st meeting. At that time there was only 4 other tournaments listed for the 12th. And we have not tried to plan our tournament on the same day as another local club. I have been doing this for the last 7 years & I know better.

Please do not take this wrong way but what could the district body do about a situation like this? Many clubs are very limited to the date(s) that they would be able to have a facility. If they only have the choice a few or maybe even one date, that is what they would need to go with or chose not to have a tournament.

After that you are pretty much at the mercy of your past reputation or your marketing/arm twisting of other clubs to attend your tournament.

Purple Freak, I hear what you are saying, had we known that another local tournament was stuck on a certain date we would have considered changing ours to accommodate, even though first come first serve didn't work here, it did no one any good to have two tournaments on the same weekend so close together. As it was we were committed to the same weekend and we could not change. We will consider another date next year and see how that works, but we are committed to running a good tournament and getting good competition. I do think that maybe these things can be discussed at a district meeting. Ideally we would love for the other tournaments close by to be held as well as our tournament, that would be less travel for us.
