If they could've used two rooms instead of one, it would have been *MUCH* easier to work with. A wider isle, or using 3-5 big isles instead of the one, putting the VGC in a different area, giving League more space to work with, etc. There was a room on either side of Nationals that wasn't being used all weekend. The America's Center is a fine location for US Nationals, both the VG and TCG. However, just one room wasn't enough for everybody that came.
Oh yeah. 1200 players sure. But what about parents/support? What about the VGC? I'd venture a guess that there were over 1700 people in that room at one point, possibly more. That room and the way it was set up was meant for about 1000-1300. This was PCI's first attempt at an independent US Nationals. I have no doubts that next year's event will be better in every way, much like this year's event was better run in nearly every way than last year's event. I mean, if the largest complaints are about the size of the room and the availability of food, that means that the event itself was excellently organized. I have heard no complaints about Judging, about timing, or about pretty much anything else associated with the event. I think that this year's Nationals was amazing, and it will only get better next year.
