It is either, neither, or both, depending on the individual player. I am more interested in the prizes, so I am letting them (The ROC board) what it would take to bring me in as a player.

Melbourne isn't that far from Orlando. It's closer to you South Florida guys.

Orlando / Central Florida venues are:

Coliseum of Comics - 3 venues, really - mayhaps 4. A chain that has a weird ordering system where 1 person does the order for the chain. A lot of communication is in order that isn't always as reliable as it should be.

Coolstuff - 2 venues. Mostly card games. Judges would rather play on that kind of event. Can't shut down store when card games fill the space.

House Rules Gaming - 1 relatively new store. I don't think it's big enough and the cash lay-out might be tough.

I'll likely make the drive to Melbourne again in June. Hopefully more players show up. 51 did last time - might also be the reason they got dibs...
