Still a bankrobbery, as there is no explanation what they need to pay from that. 17x$100 is already huge, as the university isn't going to ask money to rent a room. In fact even in utrecht we get such rooms for free, especially if the name is 'world championship'. The problem is not the organization of a world champ in utrecht. the problem is that the icca wants probably an additional $100000 'organization' costs.
