RE: Orccon!

Scott,

	Just curious, what days and what times were you hosting your
games? 
	
	I ask because I have often wondered if games offered at certain
times or days have less draw then others. When I walk the Mini room I
see
certain systems seem to dominate the floor space. I see the Warhammers,
Battletech, ACW, and W.W.II games. I have seldom seen anything else. I
remember how sad I was when the only Stargrunt game about a year ago was
a
closed game. 

	Working with the Con as a volunteer I am sad to see anyone give
up.
Maybe you could just show up and play? Tournaments can be a lot of work
but
the con will be poorer if the mini room is reduced to just the "major"
genre.

As the person that has hosted the last few tournaments, I can tell you I
will not be attending. I decided to not run any future FT tournaments at
Strategicon events. There was not enough interest or attendance after
running tournament at Five separate conventions, over a three year
period.
For the last several KR at Geo-Hex was very helpful in supplying prizes
and
playing aids. Even with prizes, turnout was low. In the end, I decided
it
wasn't worth my time or KR's time and money. Maybe it's because GW seems
to
own the miniatures room. Maybe it's too expensive to attend, those cons.
For
what ever the reason, I'll be directing my energy elsewhere.
