Time to Prepare DipCon Bids
This is from Adam Silverman:
Folks,
It is time to put together bids for hosting DipCon in 2012. The
tentative schedule for bids and voting will be as follows:
July 1 - Deadline to inform the DipCon Committee that you intend to submit a bid
Aug 1 - Deadline to submit complete bid to the DipCon Committee
Sept 1-14 - Open online voting for DipCon by members of the DipCon Society.
The reason we are starting the process early is that DipCon 2011 is
not until November, and we want to make sure bids for tournaments held
early in 2012 have ample time to prepare.
As a reminder, I have included below the information that needs to be
provided. I look forward to seeing the bids.
