I look forward to hearing more about this as it progresses. I of course won't be attending (it's too far away and I'm not good enough yet for tournament play), but it's great to see things like this happening.

I look forward to a day when Tetris is considered a "sport" and worldwide tournaments are held annually .

I'm in.
No flight, 15 min. by tube.

I played a bit of TF in the meantime and I will have to improve a lot...

What's the cheapest way to live in London?

I know that travelodges do a decent rate if you're looking for a hotel - for renting a cheap dig, this? http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index...12050518AASOK4V

If you and a couple other HD players were to go to London for this, be sure to let each other know, since obviously hotel rooms fit 4 people, so it'll work out far cheaper that way.

More details will be added to the OP soon about possible broadcasting and other such matters.
