Daddy,
You only get to play in two tournaments per season. Unless you are playing in a tournament in Charlotte against a couple of darn good opponents, there is really no substitute for the Viking Cup. Great competition and an exciting atmosphere.....right off the bat.
Viking Cup will provide the champ (no pun intended)
and the runner-up with five quality matches in a three-day span. That's almost too much. In Charlotte, NC teams are restricted to three games per week, maximum one game per day and no play on Sundays. The most games you can probably get out of a Charlotte tournament would be two.
