While we are talking potential future tournaments, would this be of interest? Why not arrange a type of Ryder Cup match once a year - say America v the Rest of the World? It could be played over a month. Two captains pick two teams and rank them by live rating. Top rated Amercian plays top rated ROW one game which is replicated all the way down the list. The "home" team have white on the odd numbers. Each "white" player arranges the match which must fall in the month to score. The team with most points wins the cup. Only group members can play - but the captains can drum up support across C.c to build the best team they can. It might boost membership. Should get us lots of publicity if we make it a big event in C.c.
