Paris is pretty central if you look at Europe.
Next to that: the Frenche community is the biggest community of Europe.
Next to that: The Paris community is the biggest communitie of France.
So if you ask me: Paris is the best place for European Tournaments.
For me personally its still a 6 hour drive, but thats okay, because there are players who live in South-France or Italy who are also driving to Paris. Tournaments in UK, The Netherlands, Germany or Italy would only attract locals. A central place like Paris is perfect!

France is too far away to me aswell. UK would probably be the best for me since it's easier to get there and it tend to be more cheaper. Too bad they don't hold that much tournaments and usually they give too short notice about it. Even Germany would be better since it seems to be more center. Poland would be ideal since it seems to be center of everything but i don't think the scene exists in there.

Corza, from hungary you could also take the euroline. But the journey is quite a bit long. Chisa if your are really in finland that's a bit complicated. Darktruth i don't know where you live but maybe it's too far away from your home.
Indeed there is a lack of tournament's organisations in EU. It 's not like in the US. Moreover US citizen are used to travel east coast / west coast.
But i think that the question "why the all the EU tournaments are in Paris" is not quite constructive. A more positive question is : "what should i do to organise a tournament in my country ?" That could change every thing. " Every journey starts with a first step !"
At least there is a tournament in EU that Team Ninja has taken into account for the BR2015. it could have been worse!

Not true,
Germany instead of France would be:
Worse for UK
Worse for Italie
Worse for France
Worse for Greece
Same for Belgium
Same for Switserland
Better for The Netherlands
Better for Germany
Better for Sweden
So France is better then Germany for EU players.

Yep, i live in Finland so i'm already out. We actually had one tournament during vanilla and were supposed to get second one with Ultimate but people who organise it left or lost interest so we didn't get the second one. TN also helped with getting prizes but of course nothing like money. So the scene tried to grow and people seemed to be interested. No one just doesn't want to organise tournaments.

This EU barycenter discussion could never end. Every country could claim to be the center depending on the parameters chosen.

Would you like to go? I drive with my parents and there is still place for one person in our car. If you consider going, PM me and we can talk in Dutch about it.
