There's absolutely nothing lost by keeping it on the schedule. If one of the events had 3 players, that's about $40 made before GenCon takes its cut that might not have been scored otherwise.
I understand Dennis, but it was my understanding that people complained last year because we had too many events going on and that was the reason given by some that the events didn't have the turnouts expected.
If that is the case, then it is entirely possible that some events may be cut. For example it is my understanding that we are going from a whole bunch of sealed events down to 1 for this exact reason.
Now I do know there will be some Mass Battles at Gencon (Eric and I will be running our Death Star Trench Run mass battle and I believe that Les was asked to run a geonosis battle and I volunteered to run a Hoth battle if needed since many people were disappointed that there wasn't one last year)
As far as the rest of it, I know Ray has it under control and is working to make sure that there will be plenty to do if you want to play star wars.
Unfortunately, there are really only 7-8 slots available to run events if we don't want to end up running things at the same time as something else. 3 slots for JC, 3 slots for Sith Trials, maybe a slot after Champs and whatever time slots on Sunday. This doesn't leave a whole lot of room for stuff. With Mystery Map, Sealed, Royal Rumble, Epic 500, Epic Duos (assuming twice like last year), Tile Wars, DD, Team event, that is already more than 8 things without any of the normal Jedi Challenge events.
I believe that we should let Ray figure out what he thinks is the best way to organize this will be (since no one else has volunteered to step up and do it) and know that he will do the best he can to get as many options available as are possible. Too many cooks in the kitchen just end up making a mess.
