Help with CDing first event
Hey all, I'm considering heading up my first event next year (2548 scale, if it still exists)and need a little help. I've been to several events, but basically have no idea what I need to do, so anything anyone can offer will help!
Thanks!
Thanks!
The Sunday after the MidAmerica Combat Championships next year-this is effectively an extension of the SSC event, making the entire event a 2 day, 2 class event. The SSC meet is June 20th, making the 2548 event on sunday, June 21st.

First, read the CD Guide, it has a lot of the collective wisdom of the CD community contained in a single source.
Bob, when you get a chance, you might want to have it updated/modularized so that the rules are current.
Secondly, don't wait until the night before to get prepared (ask me how I know!). Use the checklists, put the materials in a box, use the checklists, don't lose the box or put it where your significant other will move it, use the checklists,
Third, plan ahead. If you need to make streamers or order them, you need a couple of weeks lead time minimum. Also, get commitments from your club and members to help out. You need to get announcements out to the LHS and other clubs to draw visitors (potential cut counters and combat newbies)
Fourth, you are doing the right thing: asking questions!!!
Good luck. The heart of combat are the CDs. Without them, there wouldn't be combat.[:D]

The support sounds good. I'm actually going to be contacting a few people that were at the event this year to inquire what would be the class that would get more people to stay on sunday, or more to show up in general. I figure it's a toss up between Open B and 2548, so I'm probably going to base the actual event on the responses I get from everyone. I am partial to scale, and would really like to see it, being as there seem to be fewer scale meets than what I deem "Open" classes(SSC, open and limited B) but if I can get substantially more people to show up for B than 2548, then I will take that into consideration when planning an event.

Well Crash,
At least you tried. Not really sure what the problem is but maybe you can work it out? I do know it would have sure been fun to have a little more combat back in the GREAT state of Tennessee! I just can’t travel like I used to, so another contest close to home would have sure been NICE!
Seemed like a great idea…
Thanks for trying!!!!
