Tournament based on location?

I remember a bit ago people making a tournament in this forum with different teams based on different countries. A Australian team, or a German team, it sounded like a great idea. Whatever became of that?

It didn't happen. Tournaments are bastards to organise - as cavebear, having organised last year's big event, will attest. Even if it had got any further, I suspect time zone problems would have made it very difficult to complete.

Ya. That was the thought behind the idea. It looked promising for a while but fizzled out. If only you Americans would shift your bloody clocks forward about 14 hours and join the real world.

Oh well, thats a shame. I like the idea of it though, i'd relish in the chance to prove the USA the best around. Of course we've got more players so a split would probably have to be made. Texas, South,, North, West perhaps (i think we've got a bunch from TX), it'd be fun kinda like the Olympics, representing our homeland to prove something to the world.
