I don't understand why some Plainville players aren't willing to drive up to a Abington tourney once a month, and vice versa.
Thats just it my freind we are. If I recall correctly the last few Abington tournies the majority of attendees were in fact Plainsville Regulars.
And hell if terrain is an issue MAKE SOME! Bring it in, donate it!!
The numbers are there and I think Ian hit the nail on the head. The Plainsville community is very active AND vocal and we make it a point to ask Chase to accomadate us in our need for tournies.
Ben has the right Idea as well if yall want a tourny then speak up. Now I get this is what your guys are doing now and we Plainsville regulars support you obviously since we are filling out your tournies when they are there.
All in all I think you guys have a great casual community but remember that doesnt always lend itself to running successful tournaments, but the passion is there for a few of the more vocal among you. Get together work out what you guys want and a time frame (not exact dates most likely wont fork for BG) but a timeframe when the Abington regulars can show in force and prove to BG that they need to do more in Abington tourny wise.
agreed, Plainville has always been looking out for the guys attending GTs by staging comparative point value events at BG before a GT.
-They tried to do a Nova prep 4 round tournament last month but unfortunately not enough people
-Chase has already said there will be a 1850 event before DaBoyz coming up
-I'm sure there will be a 2k event before Templecon in February
-And whatever point value Adepticon is next year (1850 seems to be the new meta) i'm sure there will be an 1850 event just before
Makes sense, To be clear, I'm not looking for 1850 crazy competitive situations here, you guys have the corner on that market for sure 
IMNSHO 500 pointers and doubles are far more suited to the Abington crowd than the tournament practice.
So a few smaller tournaments and doubles would be appreciated, and despite memory issues, expectations were clearly set about the new store having more of these, watching Plainville host these over and over again is bumming out more than a few..
If Abington doesn't want the 1850s and doesn't have the numbers to justify doing them in Abington thats fine. The 500s, Doubles, and Trios events are always huge turnouts wherever they are held and i'm sure to be fair to the community BG will continue to hold those kind of events in Abington AND Plainville.
Despite what some of the Abington guys have said the bottom line is plainville is much easier to squeeze 20 tables into and still have room to move, not to mention the hassle Chase has already touched on of moving the terrain and tables back and forth.
Like Troy said, if there is terrain issues or table issues then make some more, if you Abington guys feel passionately about getting more events up there then talk to Derek personally
On a slightly different subject and i don't want to make more work for BG but maybe a friendly competetion would help get more people involved in Abington (and Plainville for that matter)
-When BG posts the results of tournaments throw another line in there saying what store they are from
-Hand out those "hello my name is" stickers at tournaments with forum tag names so people can put more names to faces and what store they are from
The other thing worth mentioning here is not everyone who attends BG events is from Plainville or Abington. We've got a lot of Cold Steel Merc guys who make the trip from CT for all these events
