[Hellsgate] Commander's Crucible

Sat Jul 14 09:56:40 PDT 2012

Looking at the calendar for this year, Seawinds Defender is the last
weekend of October and if they put in for the same weekend again, we
wouldn't be able to get a date against them. However the second weekend in
October is a Northern Region event and there are no events scheduled that
we couldn't get a date against. I would recommend the second weekend if we
move to October.

Looking at the June calendar, currently there are no events the last two
weekends in June for us to go against and if we got one of those weekends,
we could push the event as the last chivalric tourney before Crown. That
might help increase the attendance for folks that are working up to Crown
Tourney.
