  1. Too few links: mush of text syndrome sets in. What about some pictures, a table, something to break it up a bit? ~Gruen2alk 15:06, 31 October 2006 (GMT)
  2. Article is not encyclopedic, uses first-level headings and is written in the second person. Ceoranta 14:47, 1 November 2006 (GMT)
  3. Designed for a small Audience, not in an appropriate style but still informative and useful Bazalonia 23:48, 1 November 2006 (GMT)
  4. Agreed, re above comments. Good idea in theory, but in practice I don't really see how this would make front-page material. The article layout needs work, and yes, it's written oddly in the second apter. (( Pacitalkia )) Time sent: 19:42, 21 December 2006 (GMT)
  5. Narrow audience, unencyclopedic format, all text, won't fit well on main page. --swilatia 22:21, 12 March 2007 (GMT)

Comments/Questions

I think that this is a very well written and informative article for new NS'ers who would like to host a tournement.

Gruen, What sort of pictures did you have in mind? Pictures of various real and fictional sports? Such as soccer/football, Cricket, Base Ball, Cycling, Quidditch. (Quidditch is probably the only one fictional one with a picture.) Also if you could post on the Jolt forums (link at the bottom of the page) about things that could be put in tables. That would be greatly appreciated. Bazalonia 03:12, 1 November 2006 (GMT)

Surely for an FAC the pics should have some meaning within the article other than 'oh, this is a sport picture, dontcha know?'. They're inserted seemingly at random with no connection to the text around them. "There are a number of things that you need to think of and questions you need to answer before someone should even consider hosting a Sport Event." Followed by a picture of Quidditch? Where on earth did that come from? - Starblaydia 10:22, 1 November 2006 (GMT)

After some consideration I do not feel this is FAC worthy, see my vote for my reasons, but it's purpose is to put new hosts for tournament on the right path and I believe it will do that. As such I am happy enough to leave it as it currently stands.Bazalonia 23:48, 1 November 2006 (GMT)
