Two conventions sounds like a big task for the MFCA, I hate to see anyone spread too thin. What has been created in Canton has been really special and yet I understand guys out west and in TX that can be a tough trip because you really need to plan ahead for it. Miggle tournament was very successful in moving around, maybe MFCA convention can be too, but ouch...I love the current location and it definately has me torn because I'm not sure that 2 national events for this organization is realistic.
I love having both the Miggle "hotel" format and the MFCA convention format spaced 1/2 year apart as it is. It seems to me that maybe more support of regional tournaments would be a great thing for the hobby, and I can totally understand creating a stand alone CBSMF tournament or playoff. Not long ago there used to be Buzzfest and Sea Wall Brawl for example that were great draws, along with the Open Run out west and the Shootout tournament in TX, Beltsville, and the Bama Blast to name a few. The Miggle tournament in January is always very well supported, and for good reason they put on a great show, its a good tournament, and its in January and that seems like a good time to get away for a weekend. If for some reason Miggle is a no go this year then that leaves a big hole. Any way I know I am rambling and maybe I haven't even made a point but I want to say Wolf you are the man and you have my complete backing, thanks for addressing a tough topic.
