OP
Quoted from zsciaeount:
Pinburgh and the TPF are the same weekend. I've never been to either, but I think it's time to step up to a national tournament.
Which one would be better for a decent, but not stellar player like myself?
Where is everyone going?

Honestly, I would go to TPF than Pinburgh -- and then come to the PAPA World Championships in August.

1. Pinburgh is one of the best tournaments in the world and it's social aspect is really fun, but it has a defined schedule that you'll be following. The WC really doesn't, besides the start and end times of various tournaments. You can play at your own pace, enjoy the practice banks for as long as you wish, go get dinner, go back the hotel to nap, etc.

2. Way more games are used for Pinburgh, so at PAPA WC you would have many more games to play when you are not playing competitively

3. Pinburgh is full

Quoted from mhs:
I think this year is the exception, rather than the rule. Conflicts happen occasionally, but in the end, both events will be successes, and I have no doubt everyone involved is interested in avoiding the overlap in the future.
I personally would like to attend TPF at some point, so there's even personal incentive to make the schedule work. In the end, it's all about having fun, so no matter where you end up, keep that in mind.

Not to mention that March-April seems to be pretty packed with shows and tournaments now.

What a problem to have.
