ATC 2016????

[D_Arquebus]

Hello All,

I have reached out to some of the key TOs in the community from various States to get a sounding on the decision.

The NZ willingness to travel to these tournaments within AUS, the great and growing turn outs at their own local events, and in conjunction with the received proposal from the Kiwis (outlined by Vortigern above) I propose that we can see no reason not to confirm the offer of the next ATC tournament to NZ.

If anyone has any counter proposals, please post your reasoning/ counter proposal here in the next week or so. After that the Kiwis can start planning in earnest and everyone can start working on their significant others for a Holiday across the ditch in 2016

Cheers

If they run a side tournament like normal I'd be keen to go.

Hey Beaso,

To be clear this is not the State Championship and Open which is next scheduled for Perth, WA in March 2015.

This is the sister tournament; The Team Championship, which invoilves teams of 3 from anywhere who play together. No need for side tournament as all you need is two people and you are part of the Teams

Cheers

Well if they decided to run an open type event I'd be keen.

[Olaf_the_Stout]

It is an open event. Anyone can enter, but you're in a team of 3. I'm sure there will be others without a team of 3 that you will be able to form a team with Beaso.

Otherwise, there is the WA Open at the AusBowl SC in Perth in March next year. That said, Queensland have not been able to field a team of 6 at AusBowl SC I or II, so making the Queensland team for AusBowl SC III shouldn't be too hard for you.

I'm well aware of the concept of the event thanks.

However I guess it's not translating that I'm only interested in playing/attending unless there is a single player side tournament.

Secondly I have no faith what so ever in Qld coaches, even though it is being held in a more tempting environment the likelihood of organising these things whether it's 3/6 whatever size team.

No worries, I wasn't sure how well known the differences in concept were.

'm pretty certain that there is no individual tournament that accompanies the ATC as, unlike the ASC, there is no limit on the number of teams, and teams are only 3 in size, rather than 6.

[D_Arquebus]

That is correct Olaf.

The normal function of the Team Championship is for a small group of friends to take on all others together. No side event for solos.

Edit: ahh.... keep on getting my 2015s and 2016s mixed up.

[Devilsreject]

I think Beaso is touching on the fact that nobody wants to be in his team usually

Im happy for the Kiwis to host the teams event, ive been trying to get there for a tourney for a while, all the guys ive met who come over have always been top blokes

[Rabid_Bogscum]

ooh devils with the late Zinger.... is anyone from up North heading over to Perth next year?

[Devilsreject]

Not a great deal of interest to be honest, apart from myself, only Rednick and Suffer have expressed any

[Rabid_Bogscum]

not the zombie?

[Devilsreject]

Haven't chatted to him about it yet, i will mention it though.

[Grumpsh]

so its pretty much locked in for nz 2016 where is 2017 going?

[Rabid_Bogscum]

Im thinking ACT but thats really just a personal opinion
