| − | ==Collins (SOWPODS) in North America: Tournaments==
| |
| − | | |
| − | While there have been occasional tournaments played to the international lexicon in the US since the 1990s (the ’93 Worlds in New York, for example: the Worlds have always been SOWPODS), and occasional others such as Wisconsin Dells, Toronto, and Texas, it was in 2010 that the number of CSW tournaments really started to increase. This was in large part due to NASPA’s decision to allow CSW to be rated, which has given the impetus to several organizers to add CSW
| |
| − | divisions, or create new tournaments to meet demand.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It remains to be seen how much these numbers will continue to increase, and what the long-term future of the CSW scene will be, but the possibility of being able to play CSW exclusively, if one would like to, is now workable. Although, it is perhaps reasonable to say that this is still more the case for either the less prolific tournament player, or one with a large travel budget.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Also of note is that there are a significant number of prominent international tournaments with quite substantial sponsorship and prizes, several of which are well into the $1000s, and some over $10,000. These are listed at the <a href="http://www.wespa.org">WESPA</a> site.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Since the NASPA SOWPODS rating system went into effect, the following tournaments in North America are either CSW, or have a CSW division. Some earlier tournaments were played in 2009.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Events are listed below in their usual order in the calendar year. Some events will only (or did only) include a Collins division if a quorum of four players registers (or registered) in time. Also, non-NASPA sanctioned CSW events are not listed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Please note that this page is manually edited, based on the official page of [[tournament results]] and the [{{SERVER}}/tourneys/calendar.html calendar of future events]. Another good source for tournament information is [http://www.cross-tables.com cross-tables].
