Bad place and date for a big competition?

[shelley]

You could have traveled to the US. Several European competitors did. I fail to see how that is the "worst thing." Anyway, at least you don't live in Africa, or Australia.

I think your question has already been answered.

 

[Inusagi]

So what's the answer?

 

[shelley]

Most of the time scheduling and location of a big competition depends on what's available. If it happens to be inconvenient for some people, that's too bad. Competition organizers can't possibly accommodate everyone.

European Open had to be moved from Poland to somewhere because of organisational problems in Poland. David Calvo offered to do it in Spain and he lives in Bilbao. (very short summary)

Do these answer your question?

 

[Inusagi]

Not really.

The one that said that Euro had to be move is answering one of my qestions, but the other one doesn't quite do that. Of course, he have a point, but the meaning of my question is: isn't it better to have it in the summervacation? Because then I think more people would be available to come. Just a thought. Cause normally people are travelling out from their country and visits a another one in the summer vacation. What if the country they take a vacation at is that country that there are a big competition?

Inusagi, when is a venue cheaper, in the fall or in the summer? Which venue do you think might be cheaper, one in the heart of a downtown metropolis, or one in a smaller town?

Perhaps it's better to have it in the fall, because some people might already have a different vacation planned for the summer, and this way it spaces them out.

But like shelley said, you can't please everyone.

A venue is cheaper when it's on a more famous place. Bilbao is not one of those (if you ment money on travelling and not oragnizing, cause I don't know about how much it cost for organizing). I think it's fine that it was in Bilbao this year, but I don't want that the WC is gonna be in a unfamous place. When it's on a unfamous place, some people have to go on more plains, which will cost. If it was in Madrid (this is just a example, because it's in Spain too), it would be cheaper. There are more plains going to Madrid then Bilbao (cause it's the capital).

Maybe you're right about the fall thing. I was afraid that I would have a test in school the day those big competition were going to be organized. And were wondering if other got this problem (probably not). But now I just have to pray to God that I don't have a test that day.

I am not good in English. So don't laugh, but what does please mean? (the way you used it in your sentence).

To be satisfied with something/someone. Meaning that it meets your likes.

He says you're wrong.

A more famous place would most likely be more expensive. Think about living in a city. The apartments are very expensive.

A lot of people go to cities so people want to charge you a lot for a venue. A lot of people will watch it, so they will charge you high.

At a rural place they're happy to have someone want a venue. They'll make it cheap so the person will pick their venue there.

I hope that makes sense. If not, the answer is, the venue will mostly likely be more expensive in a famous place.

From reading his entire post, I think he means transportation costs to the venue- flights will be more expensive if its in an obscure place, etc. not the actual cost of renting a venue.

I have the best place/time for a competition: Rockefeller Center/12:00 PM December 25th

 

[AvGalen]

That's a pretty bad place/time for me. Normally I am with friends/family in Holland during Christmas.
