How do your Regionals, Cities - LTC's go? Does your LO get a Hotel Grand Ball Room or an Event Center or some such other space and bring in tables and vendors and the whole works, or does your area have LTC's in a big pool hall and they bring in a mobile tip repair guy, or is your area small enough that you can play your LTC's on 4 tables in the local bowling alley.
Our LO gets a centrally located smaller event center and we play ours over a weekend on about 25 or 30 tables. The Valley distributor brings them in on his way to Las Vegas. There are a couple of local vendors, a cue guy, food and beverage 2 or 3 roving referees. Our LO tries to create a sort of Las Vegas atmosphere. It's kinda fun having all the teams that you almost never see in one place. It's a good experience.
I am hopeful that soon we (APA in this area) will have in place something like the Rocky Mountain Challenge, like you guys do in the North East (New England states?) I think you play it in Connecticut or the South West Challenge, I think that teams from AZ, CA, NV, NM play in it. That always sounded like a lot of fun.
So, what do you all do, what's it like?
