Which tournaments should our squad choose to go to?

Here are the things i would think about in choosing tournaments:

1. cost--travel to the tournament, hotels, entry fees

2. time away from school--is it a long tournament?

3. weekend of the tournament--does going to this tournament mean you have multiple tournaments in a row?

4. quality of the tournament--is the competition the right level for your teams? is the tournament run well by the hosts?

5. location of the tournament--want to visit a cool city, etc.?

6. friends attend the tournament--do the people you want to hang out with go to this tournament?
