Subject: Re: Charlotte tournament Author: pupster [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:57:00 01/25/07 Thu In reply to: Pupster 's message, "Charlotte tournament" on 14:10:42 01/22/07 Mon OK Tracey, now we are bringing out what I was after. I know tournaments are very hard. Guy and Robs tournament is getting better and better, you can see the hard work and attempt to create a great tournament it comes through and those of you who do know them probably agree. Brandon, I guess I should have used the words of a" general attack". Sure I am generally attacking but its at the attempt of someone taking these and using them constructively. I am wanting the people in this local forum to discuss the good and bad of the tournaments to make them better, there is a great deal of local talent and brains. One way to bring that out is pick an individual out(who just had a tournament) and make him accountable. I was using the phrase of not personally attacking in hope of not getting stuck in a Joe Hurst discussion, maybe I used a statement that could have been better, but what fun would that be. My point is what are some important issues in tournaments to make them better. I do not hide behind a nickname, my name is Drew some already knew. I feel that Bjj is in a growth spurt, and those of us who support it, and give no BS feedback, that the individuals putting on the tournaments will gain valuble info.

[> Subject: It is Hard to do a event. Author: James Speight [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:36:56 01/25/07 Thu It is tough to put on a event keep one going and keep everyone happy. I remember when every one was saying, we need more events, we need more events, but even when you throw a good but small event, and everyone is happy. Getting them to come out to the next one can be a problem. To really get a good events going you have to have suport from Local schools, in the area. And doing events here the support is not there. We all say im not going to that event it is ran buy so-n-so. I think like to think that the sport should start from the gound up,i have said this over and over. but Not one school has taken or anyone else up on starting a circuit where 8 to 10 schools come together and each sponsor one small in house event. i have done several in house events and people have loved them, and every school helps in the other schools. run it in low espense like $5-$10 for competing, every coach brings a team that was pre-reg with walking weights, you would be on your honor system. I think more students would compete in a freindly in house circuit event then in a big event. but i dont know anything really. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
