A better question is did anybody win a regional in the U.S. and not attend a national event due to distance?

More store tournaments would be great.

Don't you have enough already?

I suppose that begs the question, is there a difference between a Store tournament and a store tournament? We have tournaments in our stores all the time. Is that different from a more official classification?

Not really. Store Championships are a lead into the tournament circuit, that's about it.

A better question is did anybody win a regional in the U.S. and not attend a national event due to distance?

Yes, I won the Atlanta regional in Duluth this year. I was unable to attend the nationals at GenCon for three reasons:

1) Airfare was too much

2) Hotels were too expensive

3) I am a professional and was unable to take the time off
