  I'm not exactly a good tournament organizer, but I could do it. It's a very
nice idea to rotate in the organization, so that we all have fun, and we all
work a little sometimes :)
  The problems is that we are having a currency change in Europe in january.
This is driving crazy to many companies and, as I do accounting and management
programs for companies (apart from some other stuff), I'm _very busy_ until next
year. I can say you that I work 13 hours a day, including saturdays.
  So I offer myself to organize CCT-4 in february, or CCT-5, what you prefer. ;)
