Steven,

IIRC ICC gave a one week (month?) pass for any entrants of the CCT's so it was
free.

My recommedation would be to cut-to-the-chase and go straight for a long weekend
physical tournament sometime in 2004.  Being able to chat to everyone is surely
90% of the fun of attending one of these events.  The Dutch International
tournament in May seems like a good format - one long weekend, starting on the
Friday morning and finishing at 3 pm on the Sunday.  So will it we east coast,
west coast or Chicago?  My vote is for Philadelphia - good communications and
cheaper than NY or Boston (...and I happen to live there... but that's an aside
;-)).
