Hi all!
Me and AJP were talking about the upcoming smash events in Sweden around summer 2010, and figured it would be a good idea to get all the european hosts together to discuss a possible schedule for all the planned tourneys. With big Swedish, Dutch, German, French, British, Portuguese (?) tournaments in the making, it would be a good idea to make sure these do not coincide.
Rather, if we gather a series of international tournaments and arrange them throughout the summer months, there's a possibility for people to attend all or many of the events. This would most likely attract US interest aswell, seeing how one could travel between countries and compete in many high class tournaments.
Now, I'm starting this thread to get a discussion going. What countries are planning to arrange large summer tourneys? When should they take place? How do we get people to travel and attend several of these, instead of them cannibalising on each other?
Basically, what I want is for tournament organisers to speak out about their plans, and for everyone to give their input on how best to organize this huge summer of smash!
