Can a submit for a regional listing?

Hi all...

I wanted to know what the status quo is for being eligible for a regional listing. My site: www.bigslcpoker.com is a poker club that is based in Sandy, Utah...about 5 minutes south of Salt Lake City. Since I cater to Utah residents only, does that qualify me? Please let me know, as I don't want to "re-submit" my site after a full year of waiting patiently. Thanks.

Also, if you could please include a link on where I can do that it would be very helpful.

The Sandy category would be good

That was perfect...
Just to clarify, I am allowed to submit there and it won't hurt my current submission...correct?
Not that it matters much because I already submitted there, but it would give me a little extra piece of mind.

Thanks a bunch Jim for the help

correct?

Yeah

Two submittals won't put you anywhere on the first thousand pages of the all-time-great-spammers honor roll. If you've got a regional focus or emphasis (from the point of view of a surfer who wants to know what on earth there is to do in town on a Thursday night) then a regional submittal is reasonable.

If your website is of no interest to, say, your average yogurt-eating yurt-infesting high-rolling mongolian nomad (who, no matter how boring it is in the steppes, is not going to go down to Sandy for the weekend), then it MAY not be eligible for a TOPICAL listing. But that is a very common mistake, and in such cases the editor would just move the submittal to a Regional category for consideration there instead -- and you saved us some time by finding that one also. No problem either way.

Right on gents...

Thanks for the input!

Awesome!

Just wanted to thank all of you at DMOZ/ODP, especially Jim Noble for the guidance on where to go for the potential regional listing. Just looked today, and my site got accepted in one of the 2 areas it was submitted!
I know that posting here didn't speed anything along, but it's great to know that this resource does exist for those that need to hear something. Thanks all for the hard work you do!
