this is getting annoying, this conversation about housing !
seriously, there's NO NEED to say it in the topic's title jeff, as you said, it's NORMAL to try to find housing for yourself when you're travelling abroad. I've always done it, except when it's specified that the tournament will last for 4 days and that we can sleep in the venue.
I think you had no need to specify the housing issue on the topic's title, because as Helios said, it might have confused people... yeah some people can't read between lines, and they'll interpret what you wrote about housing in a way you CAN'T imagine... and that's scary. never had the impression that people don't seem to understand fully what you say or write? it happens to me all the time. people misunderstand things because they don't know their own language that well... it's even worse if the language is not a person's native language. the confusions can be crazy !
now, I never said that you should take care of housing, but you can organize it somehow, which is your duty as a tournament holder, right?
for my personnal situation, I'd say that jeff is being extremely kind to house me and the other frenchies I bring with me, so thank you jeff ! ^^
