ab, of course you don't know what you'll be doing in one year, that's not the point. Most tournaments, as far as I understand, take place the same time each year. WAC Con in Seattle is the third weekend in January, I believe, every year. This may sound a bit rigid, but if you think about it, it allows for other tournaments to "reserve" a different weekend each year and allows for the maximum number of tournaments that do not conflict in case somebody wants to hit as many as possible. Well, maybe I'm pulling that theory out of thin air, but I like the idea of the weekend before Father's Day, though that may be because I typically am busy on Father's Day and I plan to go camping the week after Memorial Day with my brother and his family, so the weekend we're discussing for WebDip F2F should always be free, or at least not guaranteed to be booked ahead of time, which is just about as good, right? PLUS, if we have a weekend scheduled, then if any of us want to go, we won't book something else that weekend, so it's good for planning and maximizing attendance to firm up not only where, but when.
Okay, I think that horse is dead...
