This whole thing started out as a local tournament for people at my 'school'. You know? Small-time. Fun with friends. Soon it became bigger, and while we initially made it national as far as students are concerned people were quite right to point out that there doesn´t seem to be a reason to exclude non-students. It's not like there's a national league already! So yes: very likely this thing will be an open tournament for ALL Dutch citizens! Just give me like, a day, to buy domain names and think it through. | ||

Awesome. I approve! | ||

Netherlands StarCraft League (NSL) or Dutch StarCraft League (DSL)? I like NSL better, but don't we run the risk of getting confused with other tournaments? | ||

 I think that's too general though, 'StarCraft' should be in there. | ||

All I meant is that it's not impossible to reach you, as I've e-mailed with your manager earlier, and she said that she was "certain that you'd be very interested in the event" I'll change it to 'we could try to pursuade Apollo and TotalBiscuit', and of course contact you as early as possible when things like dates become concrete.Mhm. I won't be available fyi, I'm not taking European bookings for a few months from April since I'm moving to the US | ||

The main challenge will be a financial one I guess. Making it that large requires decent amounts of moneyz to get decent casters and a venue and all. Maybe it's smart to combine the live finals with a big LAN event, like most large tourneys do? Would require a lot more planning though, but seems feasible to me? | ||

I voted for Dutch SC League, as it sounds better. Abbreviated, I would go for DS2L or DSCL, because those abbreviations are more unique (which is handy for twitter hashtags etc.). If money becomes a problem, you could opt for a full online league. No venue, amateur casters for just the topX. Yes it would reduce the amount of coolness, but IMO getting things on track seems more important than fluffying it up. | ||

It'd be better to make it an online tournament with offline semi's/finals or something like that. It's easy to think of a lot of things to make it better, but actually planning it will be a lot harder. I think that the best thing to do is to make a solid plan as far as possible. It's very hard to estimate how many people will come and because of that it's hard to convince companies to give us money. If we can create a solid plan that we can present to enough companies, I'm sure that there are some companies that are interested | ||

Start big and you'll both have beginners problems and insane expectations (think NASL S1 finals). | ||

I'd say 'Netherlands Starcraft League' is the best choice. You could abbreviate it as 'NLSL' | ||
