Dates could be discussed prior to a date being locked.
Perhaps a date could be proposed, with a cut off date for all prepaid entries to be in by. The date the promoter needs a go/no-go by to start the organising work on.
If they arent all in by that date, then the event is cancelled - prior to people ordering plane tickets/accom etc. a bit of a hassle with refunds etc then, but not much you can do about that - perhaps a wiki list of entrants with "paid" status attached so everyone can see who promised to enter/pay but hasnt yet.
Im sure there will be some issues to sort out along the way, but as I said, If competitors want events, I think its time for them to shoulder a bit of responsibility for actually showing up when they say they will..
At the moment, EO'ing is too much like throwing a party where you never know how many people are going to turn up or drop out after x round's until the day, which leaves EO's in a state of tense anxiousness until the event is over.
Its not much fun at all.. If someone really wants to know what that "promoter" feeling is like, try putting *your* name down for organising a public event and spending weeks/months wondering if it will come off or you will be left looking stupid/broke and feeling like you wasted your time afterwards. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas.
