september 2007 live tourny, getting american players to come over

as i`ve told members i`ll be arranging the next tourny for september. now this will either be in liverpool or if it can`t hold the number of players coming, in bolton. now i`ve had an idea on how to get american players over here, but it would need the help of wassers to work. it will be expensive for them to get here, the 2 biggest costs being the flight and accomodation. so if local wassers could put up our cousins for free this would help accomplish it. after working out costs i`d say that a 5 day stay could becomfortably done for $1,200 per person as long as members will put them up for free. if your american and find this package attractive, post below. if your a local wasser willing to put someone up do the same.

Right I will start by saying that I am willing to puy some of you up and I have just spoken to Mildred (muffozard) and she is also willing to put some up and yes for free including meals and transport to the casino.

Although this is a good idea Andy, do you not think that this may lead to disgruntlement(good word, might have to patent it) from non uk based Europeans who might also want to attend?

They still have to fly and find accomadation.

Well it has already been done for an english player so some of the money could go to europeans as well

[welshgit]

possible way of doing it is doing as andy said

and then every1 outside uk can ask for a % of money as help to get here

depending on distance depends on amount .

???

ps - we xould put people up but were a long way from casino ( could use us as last resort ? )

Is anything going to be sorted for this? It would be great to get a game set up with a % of the buyins going towards costs for our overseas members.
