This is a very good idea.
If you hold it someplace where there are other things to draw people, I think you are more likely to get a large group. I go to a karate tournament that's held at one of the Disney resorts every year (been going since 2000), and I keep going back because I can have a little mini-vacation while I'm down there for the tournament. Since they have it at a Disney resort, there are deals that participants can get like half-day tickets to the parks (so you can go from like 4pm on at a discount after you finish tournament activities). That tournament is the biggest tournament in the country to my knowledge, with competitors from all over the US and dozens of other countries, too. Plus, since Disney & ESPN are partners or whatever, it is the only tournament I can think of that gets TV coverage every year. (If you have seen the karate tournament on ESPN2, that's this one.) You're certainly allowing for more media exposure.
Plus, if you are doing it at a Disney place, you know you're keeping it kid- and teen-friendly, which is pretty important for something like this. You want a venue that's not limited to 18 & Up or 21 & Up. |
If the event is held near Disney in Orlando then I would have no problem helping run it or getting sponsors to help with the event. As that I have run plenty of tournaments in the area, I have a ton of contacts.
Either way, the idea is wonderful and I'd love to see this happen. _________________

This is a really cool idea, I hope this happens sometime, But just for some info, is this going to be tournament style only? or will there also just be recreational play, just so you can play with those friends you play with everyday on xbl, psn, but actually in person? _________________

It would probably be both i'm guessing, because you know some ppl might just wanna do rec playing or some might be in it for the competition. |

You should definately do both types of tournaments.... and be really really careful who you trust to work with.
I would love for Game Universe to be majorly involved with this even still. |

New York is my vote. I'll be there if it is. Depending on how good I get, I'll be there for further away too. |

I think that NY would be a great state to do it in. Especially Western New York, somewhere like Buffalo. (heh, that way, I could get in no problem, because I live there) |

Why not have it a traveling RB mass gathering, like a music festival (such as Gigantour, or Priestfest) and have it make stops in all 50 states (or 48 continental)
Also, may not wanna make it XFest, XFest is the name off an annual rock music festival here in my town XD _________________

How about having two on two separate weekends?
One could be for western side
One for eastern side
and maybe one for Canadians, although not many people would go to that lol _________________

My vote would be for some place like Cincinnati Ohio but if that doesn't cut it I would probably vote for NY or some place around there just cuz I wouldn't want to travel far XD _________________
