and the west coast.  I thought that having Nats out there might really lead to growth in that region, but it seems like the opposite has happened.

So what we need to do is have it in TN, because the play group here can't get any smaller!  That way we can turn things around!   ;D :P

Actually I'm not surprised.  The impression that most west coast tournament players received was that this was probably the only Nats that would be held on the West coast.  When you don't have something to look forward to, the incentive to stay in the game and stay on top of your game lessens.  There will always be west coast players as long as Bryon and Mike W. continue to be involved in the game, just not a whole lot.  A lot of players left because they reached the pinnacle - 2009 Nats in SoCal.  If rumors start in the future that there might be another West coast Nats, you'll probably see tournament attendance start to rise again.

6 people is growth? what'd you have before? a playgroup as small as the Cali nats? because that would definitely be growth.  ;)

Numbers are the only thing that matter. Your group has shown a 100% increase. What other playgroups can say that?

Thank you for the compliment, but I shouldn't get too much credit for this one as I lived in Napa, CA, for 8 years.   ;D

I may be off my rocker here, but the recession may have had a little to do with Redemption slowing down over the last couple years. California was entering a recession approximately 1 year ( +- a few months) before the Nation followed along. It hit very hard right about Jan. or Feb. of 2009, leaving many scrambling to make ends meet and having to make the hard household budget cuts. I was one of those that missed Natz in So. Cal. and I live in Northern Cal. We were quite upset to miss the awesome opportunity of attending a Natz and a historic one to boot. One day we will get to a Natz, but I'm not gonna sit around and whine that they are still being held and I can't attend. I am grateful that we can be involved in such an awesome family that can have an annual Family Reunion even if all the family isn't able to attend every one no matter where it is held. Some of my family is already at the Heavenly Family Reunion and I'm not there. I'm not gonna complain because I"ll get there eventually. I guess what I'm saying is be grateful for what we do have.


Godspeed,
Mike
