Tourney: WHBPC 2011: Seattle 08-11.09.2011

The North Americans divide their continent up into a number of regions and then have a tourney within those regions. This seems the fairest to me. Within regions there could be a bidding process, voting process, or whatever, to decide the location.

actually this isn't true, as it causes many of the same problems as national borders. we will ensure that the qualifying tournaments are regionally spread out, but you can play at any of them.

we've divided up by regions only in order to ensure a somewhat geographically representative group of people who are making decisions.
