i would love to have gone to Gen Con this year, but it was not possible
im pretty sure i would have gotten my teeth kicked in, because i have yet to play a DCI based game, Gambit and such. i know how to play it (thanks to Mickey and Sithborg), but we dont have it yet in Nashville.
YET is the operative word. 3 years ago, me and my buddy got into this game, then we got our wives into it.
3 years later, we are 7 strong (not including our wives, well, because theyd rather watch "Chelsea Lately" or "True Blood").
So this is what i ask, and it may be tough to do.

i want to start a league, im not sure what criteria is to meet it, but i am positive that it can be met. i have a local game shoppe a half a mile from my house, which is where we buy most of our minis, that and Books A Million.
can someone, or everyone please tell me what needs to be done, because i swear i will do whatever it takes to get it done. i just need the help.
Nashville gets left out on all the promos, maps etc., and im sick of it. its time that we Nashvillians got our shizz straight, because we are in the heart of all this competitive gaming, with many fine gamers. i play for fun, and i play for bragging rights, as we all do. i want to play with my out of state neighbors, i want to play with as many people as i can.


but i want to thank all of you have who have lit this fire under my Arse, and that goes for every single gamer on this board, whether we have spoke or not.

"Help Me Obi Wan Kenobi, Your My Only Hope".

I suggest you come to our con Sept 5th. You are about 3 hours away. You can meet some people in particular Jim I think will be there who is the national event coordinator. Maybe you can get some help from him.

Hate to break it to you, but everyone is being left out on promos and maps now. The League Kits are no longer available.

I would look for advice from the SWM Rules Advisory Committee. I do believe one of their things is to help tournament organizers grow their group. At the very least, they have a ton of experience to help.

My wife and I have been talking about spending more time in Nashville on the weekends. We're about 90 minutes out.

Obviously we couldn't come down there every weekend but a few times a year probably. Any help you need getting things started let me know. :)

awesome Boris!!
you live in Kentucky?
its not so much prize support or promotional items that are drawing me to sanctioned tournaments as it is the actual gaming. though, we definitely want to achieve that aspect of tourney playing.
the way i see it is that i have a pretty good start with a circuit of guys who want to expand what we are doing.
the Carbondale Event is ideal to get a feel of what needs to be done here in Nashville, and im working my butt off to get up there.
as to what Sithborg was saying,(thanx by the way) i printed up all the stuff for DCI sanctioning, but sadly do not have a magic the gathering following here. only frikkin WarHammer 40,000 on thursdays and some sci fi RPG gathering on sundays.
the positive part of that is i get to choose 1 of the available 5 days to do this.

OwensBoro? really?
sweeeeeet
if i get some info, ill be up there for some games!!

AWESOME!!!
can you send me a PM with the details on where its at exactly?

right now we have 5 that actually purchase minis and play every other day, and 3 who freeload off of our armies to play. so 8

Sweet!
im making an effort to get out there as soon as possible.
definitely before the GAW event.

im having a problem with the fuel injector in my car, so im going to seek out the back roads (might take 2 hours), to get there.
