That one stood out to me too. Although, there was at least one comment along the lines of it's a no-brainer to get NAF sanctioning.

I've looked at the data in a little more detail looking at the NAF response against the time that people have been attending tournaments and how many tournaments they play each year.

The only thing that really stands out is that the people that said they WOULD attend a non-NAF sanctioned tournament play in fewer tournaments each year than those that said they wouldn't.

If you do this again, I think some of the questions could do with a "not bothered either way"* answer, for example the food question or the evening entertainment. Likewise, some could have done with a "none" answer, like the swag one

Also, some of the questions could possibly have done with fleshing out a bit, or clarifying more - for example, the evening entertainment one - did you mean something like an auction or a quiz, or something less "formal" like a meal and centralised pub meet?

That's not to poop on your effort though, just found there were some questions that didn't have responses that covered my POV, and you couldn't skip those that there wasn't a "correct" answer for.


* Though I'm sure you can come up with a better wording than that!

There is a NAF newsletter brewing, if Pete wanted to put another questionnaire together it could be put in there.

The results are interesting, and useful for my own plans, so thanks.
It seems like the biggest influencers on attendance are date, location and seeing friends. Unfortunately, these are the ones that the organiser has less control over. Other than avoiding popular holiday dates, the location is inevitably local (unless they are organising a large scale tournament) and attendance is wide open.
If you are repeating, I think the travel time could do with being expanded into larger chunks (1/2/4/8 hrs maybe?) and travel costs/ease of travel could be worth looking at.

I think I'm being cyber-bullied ;-)

Anyway, I am happy to rerun this with some of the suggested alterations. There a probably a few questions that could be added as well.

I don't think I'll be able to get it done for another few weeks though (like the Easter Bunny this is my bust period).
