I think the GenCon badge wouldn't motivate people here. I'm happy to offer a similar size prize. I'd even pay for most of it myself to keep the entry fee to $5-10 per person and get a little excitement going in this area again.
p.s., Is there a way to find out who on SWMGamers is from AZ so I could PM them directly if it looks like it will work out?
Then it really wouldn't be a regional as they are nothing more than a feeder to the Championship, regional is really just a name for a specific kind of tournament. I do think a badge to the Arizona con would be a great idea.
We hold all kinds of tournaments year round that are "competitive" without being regionals. Lansing, Kokomo, Owensboro, Virginia just to name a few.
If you ran a regional then you'll definately need a judge, and I would still recommend one in all other tournaments as well. The TO can absolutely play in the tourney but typically the judge should not.
As far as who's from AZ, unless the update their profiles....no.
